The installation will enable Dorian to collect critical data from its very large gas carrier fleet, helping optimise performance and efficiency.

“Since going public in 2013, Dorian LPG has been a forerunner in adopting the latest technologies within the maritime industry,” said Andreas Jagtøyen, executive vice president digital ocean, Kongsberg Digital.

“This contract emphasises the untapped potential and value of collecting data to analyse, predict and improve processes for vessels and fleets, especially given the current situation within the maritime industry, where gaining a competitive edge and decarbonising while meeting new regulations is key to survival and success,” he added.

Dorian’s initial plan is to monitor and predict consumption and emissions data to plan for the coming IMO 2023 regulations. Dorian also aims to benchmark the performance between vessel types in their fleet.

John C. Lycouris, chief executive of Dorian LPG (USA) said the company was pleased to be partnering with Kongsberg Digital on an important initiative. “In surveying the market, we felt that Kongsberg Digital had developed a great product that meets our needs and should begin to deliver results promptly,” he said.
