Speed Guidance
Hefring Marine’s advanced Speed Guidance feature leverages comprehensive real-time data collection from vessel motions, sea conditions, weather forecasts, engine systems, and operator response to provide predictive, optimal speed recommendations. These data-driven insights ensure safe and efficient navigation, continuously adjusting to changing conditions throughout the trip.
Depending on the trip mode, the system will suggest either the maximum safe speed or the most fuel-efficient pace. Developed in close collaboration with seasoned vessel captains, Speed Guidance replicates the decisions a highly skilled operator would make, optimizing both safety and fuel consumption in real time. This smart solution not only enhances navigational precision but also helps reduce wear and tear on the vessel, contributing to long-term maintenance savings.
Impact Monitoring
Impact Monitoring system features highly precise sensor units that track and display real-time impact data and vibrations as the vessel navigates through varying sea conditions.
​
This information is presented instantly to the operator, with alerts triggered when preset impact thresholds are surpassed.
​
An impact counter records each incident, empowering both onboard crews and onshore teams with vital data for reviewing safety protocols and preventing potential damages. Complementing this feature, real-time weather and sea state updates are provided to the captain, enabling proactive decision-making that prioritizes passenger comfort and vessel integrity.
Route Guidance
(BETA)
Navigate confidently with our Route Guidance system, designed to optimize safety and efficiency by calculating routes using current and forecasted data. This innovative feature requires only the starting and destination points, vessel details, and start time to generate a safe, fuel-optimized route in under a minute, leveraging up-to-date weather and sea forecasts.
​
Ideal for route planning in unpredictable conditions, this system adapts to the latest environmental data, ensuring that voyages are executed with enhanced safety and reduced operational costs.
Live Vessel Monitoring
Gain a comprehensive overview of your fleet’s operations with Hefring Marine’s Live Vessel Monitoring. This feature presents live tracking of active trips on an interactive map, complemented by second-by-second data overlays. Analyze a variety of metrics, including experienced impacts, speed guidance tailored for safety, fuel usage, engine performance, and environmental conditions.
​
The system also tracks engine hours, battery status, water depth, and vital engine parameters such as oil temperature and pressure. This holistic monitoring ensures fleet managers can make data-driven decisions to improve safety, efficiency, and overall fleet performance, even when vessels are idle.
Rules and Alerts
Customize your fleet’s safety protocols with Hefring Marine’s versatile Rules and Alerts system. Users can set bespoke rules that trigger alerts when conditions deviate from safe operating parameters—whether related to speed, impact levels, fuel consumption, or pressure thresholds.
​
These real-time alerts can be configured for specific geofenced areas or fleet-wide, ensuring immediate notification through the onshore platform, email, or SMS. This proactive approach minimizes risks and enhances the response to operational issues as they arise.
Fleet Insights and Statistics
Make informed decisions with our Fleet Insights and Statistics tool, which provides detailed reports on trip data and fleet-wide performance over selectable time periods. Compare individual vessels and captains, examining key metrics and generating comprehensive insights using interactive charts and maps. Each trip's data can be visualized with pinpoint accuracy, allowing users to hover over data points for precise location information at specific times.
Automatically generated trip reports deliver key analyses, highlight alerts, and provide performance summaries. Custom radar charts assess fleet performance and individual trips or captains, enabling better resource allocation and continuous operational improvement.
Vessel and Captain Profiles
Track and enhance individual performance with the Vessel and Captain Profiles feature. Captains’ journeys are mapped out through statistical insights, helping operators evaluate skill progression and operational efficiency.
Promote engagement by offering captains access to their performance data, including rankings from Trainee to Legend, based on consistent improvements and high trip scores. This transparent system encourages data ownership and professional growth, fostering a motivated and safety-conscious crew.
