Mega-Guard Fleet Management System

Name: Mega-Guard Fleet Management System
Brand: Praxis Automation Technology

Internet-based Mega-Guard fleet monitoring that collects data from ship automation systems for shore-side fleet overview, vessel view, position map, statistics and automated IMO MRV CO2 reports.

Description

The Mega-Guard Fleet Management System (FMS) from Praxis Automation Technology is an Internet-based application for monitoring and reporting data from seagoing vessels. Data is collected automatically from each ship's alarm, monitoring and control system and stored in a secure database for shore-based staff.

Key features

Fleet Overview: user-defined status lines for every vessel in the fleet
Vessel View: selectable parameters such as fuel consumption, speed, position, tank, trim and list gauges and engine data; optional remote desktop access to the onboard automation system
Position View: map with tracked route and heading projection (requires vessel GPS/AIS data)
Statistic View: plot any parameter over a defined timespan and compare vessels, e.g. fuel consumption over speed
Automated report creation, including CO2 emission reports to the IMO MRV rule
Secure communication and storage with double log-in

System layout

Onboard ISV Marine PC with Internet Ship View software linking the automation system to the ship's communication equipment; connects directly to Mega-Guard VMS via Ethernet, or to other makers' systems via Modbus and NMEA
