      What CetaFuel enables for tug fleet managers

      High-accuracy fuel insights

      Tugboats experience varying fuel consumption depending on operations. Using the start/stop button on the captain's onboard display, you can isolate and record specific parts of the operation, such as transit to site, towing larger vessels, or transferring equipment to and from offshore platforms.

      Fuel savings from precise measurement

      During transits that don't require high speed, there are fuel savings to be made with iHelm's real-time speed recommendations.

      Custom reporting

      Access reports specifically designed for your operation, customized for your customers and stakeholders.

      Performance insight

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

      How it works

      How iHelm works

      Tugs operate under extreme and variable loads, from bollard pull to transit and standby. iHelm captures real-time engine and voyage data to build a clear picture of how each vessel performs across every phase of operation.

      With digital twin modelling tailored to high-load duty cycles, iHelm delivers actionable guidance for fuel-efficient maneuvering, tracks engine wear under demanding conditions, and supports naval architects with data for hull and propulsion design optimization.
