In a statement, Kongsberg Maritime said: “Applications, dashboards and tailor-made fleet and process automated viewing tools can subsequently be added to the K-IMS solution in each owner’s or third-party’s data replication and advisory Cloud environment.”

The JAWS software helps in determining ideal operating conditions based on historic, high-frequency vessel data.

For minimising fuel consumption and emissions, the system provides inputs for improving a vessel’s draught and trim at any speed.

Furthermore, it offers reports on live fuel and emissions savings to clients.

Kongsberg Maritime LNG sales manager Vegar Løver said: “By working together with Shell on JAWS, we have added a new layer of trust and strengthened customer relations relating to Kongsberg Maritime’s regular product portfolio and our K-IMS solution has created a great foundation for rolling out JAWS.”

As of now, the company has signed around 300 K-IMS contracts within the LNG sector.

Prior to this, Norway-based shipowner Awind awarded contracts to Kongsberg Maritime for designing and equipping two construction service operation vessels (CSOV/SOV).
