Maran Tankers Management: A ‘Safety First’ Crude Shipping Company
The challenge
Always on the Lookout for Safety Innovation
Since its inception, MTM has been dedicated to creating a culture of safety on board and on shore.
The company sought a solution that would enhance fleet safety and manage risk by:
- Enhancing situational awareness on board and getting a better understanding of the surroundings of the vessel.
- Assisting crews with identifying high-risk targets in high-density areas like Singapore Port, where both moving and anchored vessels are present, and in waters congested with fishing vessels without AIS, such as the China Sea.
- Identifying navigation trends on the fleet level, and taking data-driven actions.
- Fine-tuning the company’s safety policy based on actual navigation performance.
Maritime crude oil transport is a highly complex business. Our safety-first approach together with our openness to technological innovation drives us to be on a constant lookout for cutting-edge solutions to lower safety risks. With Orca AI, MTM fleet crews now have an additional highly advanced navigational system to use which allows data driven, real time decisions to be made.”
