First EFMS installation in Americas for Ascenz

Ascenz confirmed that the implementation of the EFMS on the tanker was among the requirements imposed by the oil major that charters the vessel, in order to attain a higher level of transparency in fuel consumption measurement, and achieve tangible energy and cost savings.

The EFMS combines state-of-the-art digital technologies (mass flow meters, tank gauging sensors, on-board software, communication devices and cloud computing) in one single solution to provide seamless monitoring and optimisation of fuel consumption, emissions, bunkering and vessel activities, in addition to reporting automation.

Julien Glory, CEO of Ascenz, declared: “This contract is an important first step in the development of Ascenz in the Americas. As the cost of energy keeps increasing and environmental regulations become more demanding, we are convinced that our technology will be increasingly adopted by ship-owners and charterers all over the world.”

The Motorship notes that the order follows shortly after Ascenz concluded its first order in Europe with a major European ferry owner to equip two vessels with its Smart Bunkering solution in December 2022.
