      What iHelm delivers for pilot fleet managers

      Safety

      Recommendations to support safety, reduce speed, and MRU insights. Plan voyages based on weather and MRU data.

      Reporting

      Access tailored reports for your operation, customized for your customers and stakeholders.

      Fuel savings

      During transits that don't require high speed, there are fuel savings to be made. One pilot customer achieved 39.8% fuel savings in a 3-week test.

      Engine monitoring / Asset management

      Access performance insights to track engine health across your pilot fleet.

      Data-driven design planning

      With data collected from the vessel, gain insights tailored for your operation that can be used when designing new vessels.

      Display options

      iHelm comes with an onboard display, but you also have the option to integrate it into existing displays or navigation systems.

      How it works

      How iHelm works

      Pilot vessels require rapid response and high-speed performance in all conditions. iHelm provides real-time visibility into how each vessel handles these demanding operational patterns.

      With tailored analytics for short, high-intensity voyages, iHelm helps optimise fuel use during sprint operations, monitors engine health across frequent start-stop cycles, and delivers data that supports both daily operations and long-term fleet planning.
