Discussing the deal and the technology, a spokesperson said: “Sealution’s connectivity system combines the reliability of the existing cabling used on shipboard fire detection and alarm systems with an onboard gateway to collect and transmit data. [This improves] the robustness of onboard networks, enabling granular data collection from a wide array of equipment and IoT devices.”
The spokesperson continued: “Telemar specialises in smart maintenance and management of bridge electronics, providing proactive remote and in person support with focus on mitigating risk and reducing down-time. Its engineers can access onboard systems to diagnose performance issues and perform a higher number of first-time fixes using remote access without the need to wait for the next port call.”
Under the terms of the agreement Telemar will offer installation, service and maintenance of the Sealution solution. It already provides data collection from bridge navigation technology for maintenance and analytics.
Sealution co-founder and CEO, Sebastian Hamers, said: “The maritime industry is witnessing a significant transformation in the way ships navigate, driven by rapid advances in digitalisation and automation. Our partnership with Telemar will support this transformation by enabling more vendors and vessel operators across the globe to benefit from uninterrupted data collection and optimised analysis.”
CEO of Telemar, Mike Bauwens, said: “This agreement extends the range of possibilities that Telemar can offer to our clients, simplifying data collection and creating a more integrated approach to digitalisation. Our partnership strategy is designed to support owners in accessing the data they need to operate at higher efficiency and in compliance."
