DIGITAL PROJECTS

We believe digitalisation serves as a vital catalyst in reaching our sustainability objectives. To this end, we are implementing a digital roadmap that transforms broad opportunities into scalable, practical solutions delivered within defined timeframes. These projects focus on identifying areas of greatest value and determining the most effective approaches to achieve tangible results.

Reliability and maintenance
In 2024, we prioritised enhancing the reliability of our fleet, recognising its strong connection to how we organise, communicate, and collaborate within the company. Digital systems played an important role in supporting this effort, with significant developments made over the past year. A key achievement was the continued roll-out of Project PriMa, which began in 2023. PriMa leverages predictive maintenance through vibration monitoring of rotating equipment. After successfully implementing the system on our petrochemical fleet in 2023, we extended its application to our LNG fleet in 2024. This expansion involved designing new processes and establishing clearly defined roles, particularly around decision-making and tracking follow-up actions, both critical to embedding this innovative approach.

With PriMa now operational across the fleet, we anticipate substantial benefits, including:

• Smarter maintenance: Proactively addressing potential issues before they escalate, reducing unnecessary maintenance, and ensuring no critical components are overlooked.
• Cost savings: Minimising both time and financial expenditures by preventing costly repairs and avoiding over-maintenance. 

This progress underscores our commitment to leveraging digital solutions to enhance fleet performance and operational efficiency.

Digital ambassadors
To advance our digital initiatives onboard, we align with our Digital Ambassadors: a dedicated group of seafaring colleagues who play a crucial role in identifying potential opportunities, validating roadmaps, and evaluating solution strategies. Their contributions ensure our digital projects are both practical and well-suited to the demands of the daily operations. Participation in this program grew steadily throughout 2024, further strengthening our efforts and enhancing the relevance of our digital advancements.

Data quality

Building on the introduction of our Data Collection Platform in 2023, which automated fleet data collection, we made significant progress in 2024 by reconstructing our data architecture to create a single source of truth. A critical aspect of this initiative involved defining clear processes and responsibilities

from both digital and business perspectives, ensuring robust governance in data management.

The availability of timely, accurate, and comprehensive data has proven essential for reducing response time to technical incidents and enhancing collaboration between onboard and onshore teams. This improved access enables more effective monitoring, earlier identification of potential issues, and quicker, well-informed interventions across the organisation.
