Accelleron and Hyundai Marine Solution (HMS), part of the HD Hyundai Group, have entered into a strategic agreement to enhance digital solutions for the shipbuilding industry.
The collaboration focuses on integrating Accelleron's technologies for engine and turbocharger monitoring with HMS's digital systems.
Integrating digital tools
Under this alliance, Accelleron and HMS aim to rise digital tool integration for efficiency gains
Under this partnership, Accelleron and HMS aim to advance digital tool integration for efficiency gains. The initiative includes unifying HD Hyundai Marine Solution's ship management system, Integrated Smart Ship Solution ISS 2.0, and the emissions monitoring tool OceanWise with Accelleron's performance optimisation platform, LOREKA360° Tekomar XPERT Engine, and Turbo Insights monitoring solution.
These efforts are designed to improve ship performance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
Accelleron's digital analytics solutions
Accelleron's LOREKA360° Tekomar XPERT Engine solution is currently deployed across approximately 100 vessels within HMS's client base. It is expected that this number will expand to about 500 vessels as HMS begins issuing additional licences. This solution delivers instantaneous engine performance assessments and advice directly to ships.
Turbo Insights, another of Accelleron's offerings, processes operational data into actionable insights from the point a turbocharger is fitted, enabling verification during shop testing, sea trials, and throughout a vessel's lifecycle. This facilitates alignment with sustainability objectives and digital integration.
AI and real-time data utilisation
Hyundai's ISS 2.0 is an advanced control platform that gathers real-time data from critical onboard plans
Hyundai's ISS 2.0 is an advanced management platform that gathers real-time data from critical onboard systems to deliver analysis and navigation services.
It supports emissions evaluation and routing enhancements, using voyage data without the necessity for additional onboard hardware.
Strategic partnership outcomes
Shailesh Shirsekar, Accelleron's Global Head of Sales and Operations for Digital Solutions, stated, “With a customer pool comprising vessels built by one of the world’s pioneering shipbuilders, HMS is a strong partner in the delivery of Accelleron solutions. Working together, we will enable ship operators to make the most of both platforms, driving efficiency and cost improvements.”
Bong-jun Choi, leader of HD Hyundai Marine Solution’s Digital Technology Centre, added, "Through this partnership, we will help ship owners and operators achieve a new level of operational efficiency not only for ships built at HD Hyundai but also ships in operation. We are confident that our strategic cooperation with Accelleron will create new opportunities for our customers."
