How Cetasol Helps Ferry Fleet Managers Monitor Fuel & Performance
Ferry fleet managers face a relentless tension: keep services running on time while cutting fuel costs and meeting tightening emissions targets. iHelm provides a practical vessel monitoring solution, perfect for repetitive ferry operations: optimizing captain behaviours for fuel savings, safeguarding engine reliability, and offering tailored reporting for both operational and environmental performance.

What iHelm delivers for ferry fleet managers
Fuel savings through behavioural optimization
iHelm learns from repetitive operations to recommend consistent, efficient speed profiles. The onboard display provides real-time feedback on fuel use and speed, helping crews avoid "sail fast then wait" behaviour and reduce fuel consumption by 8–15%.
Engine monitoring
Continuous tracking of critical parameters ensures issues are detected early, extending engine life and reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns.
Smarter maintenance
Data-driven insights into running hours and performance trends enable proactive service planning and fewer costly surprises.
Tailored reporting
Customized fuel and emission reports support operational follow-up, including data aligned with CII tracking and emissions monitoring requirements.
How it works
How iHelm works
iHelm collects data from engines, navigation, and fuel systems to build a digital twin of each vessel. This model is continuously refined through daily ferry operations.
The digital twin powers real-time decision support: the onboard display provides captains with clear speed guidance, while engine data is monitored to track health and performance trends. This enables smarter maintenance, lowers fuel consumption, and minimizes the risk of failures.

Tailored solutions through digital twin technology
With Cetasol's data-driven digital twins, we build features tailored to each customer and segment. For ferry fleet managers, this led to timetable optimization, a capability developed directly from fleet manager needs to refine schedules, cut fuel use, and reduce emissions across fixed routes.
Every fleet is different. Our digital twin technology provides a reliable operational baseline and allows future-scenario simulations, enabling us to develop and deliver the specific tools each customer needs to improve performance.
