VPS launches latest version of data-driven Maress decarbonisation platform

Marine fuels testing company VPS on Wednesday (3 December) launched the latest update of its digital data- driven decarbonisation platform, Maress 2.0.

Already used by almost 700 vessels, Maress monitors main engine and emissions equipment performance for offshore vessels. Now, this new version of Maress offers greater speed, clarity and even smarter decision-making capabilities. 

With new analytics, vessel insights and an intelligent data validation engine, Maress 2.0 helps its users sail smarter, improve their vessel and fleet performance and trust their data.

Maress 2.0 is now a more powerful performance platform designed to give users actionable insights at every level, from fleet wide trends, to the performance of individual thrusters. With this new Maress platform, users can instantly compare vessels, or track a single vessel’s progress over time, helping identify opportunities for efficiency and cost savings. Integrated data validation and smart notifications ensures vessel data remains trustworthy. This enables proactive responses to issues, before they impact operations or compliance.

Key Maress 2.0 highlights include:

• Improved analytics and reporting with flexible time-period comparison
• Integrated daily weather insights directly on the map view
• Year-on-year baseline comparisons to measure the impact of initiatives
• Support for alternative fuels, including biofuels
• Voyage replay with weather, activities and efficiency indicators
• New Data Quality & MRV Validation module for trustworthy data
• Advanced Energy Analytics (Add-on) for deeper insight
• Future-proof architecture with an adaptive new user interface

Designed to connect the offshore ecosystem, Maress 2.0 gives owners, managers, operators and charterers, clear visibility from fleet trends to thruster level detail providing actionable insights that improve efficiency, compliance and cost savings.

“With Maress 2.0, we’re strengthening a platform already used by nearly 700 vessels and connecting the Offshore Eco system worldwide,” said Jan Wilhelmsson¸ COO Digital & Decarbonisation, VPS. “This release delivers smarter analytics, cleaner data and a future-proof design that helps our customers sail smarter and perform better with confidence.”

VPS added that data quality has never been more critical for vessel owners. 

“Without knowing the quality of vessel data, one can’t trust the insights, or the decisions based upon them. Maress 2.0 automatically validates all incoming data and alerts crews with personalised notifications whenever anomalies are detected. This helps prevent potential costly mistakes, such as submitting MRV/DCS reports based on inaccurate information,” it said.
