Marshall Islands extends use of its logbook for oil, garbage records
THE Maritime Administrator of the Marshall Islands has extended its approval of the K-Fleet Logbook system, enabling 4,000 flag state registered vessels to introduce digital reporting for oil record and garbage record logbooks.
The approval states that K-Fleet Logbook may now be used to fulfil the requirements of the Marshall Islands Maritime Regulations to maintain a deck and navigation log, an engine room log, an oil record book, cargo record book, a garbage record book and a radio log, reported London's Tanker Operator.
As part of the K-Fleet suite, the K-Fleet Logbook is a modular solution for digital reporting under IMO, Marpol, SOLAS and flag state requirements.
The system collects data from ship systems into central data storage manually or automatically, and supports event-based recording of data related to navigation, engine, oil record book, garbage handling and port calls.
"Many shipping companies are in the process of digitalising operations so this acceptance is highly important to us and the 4,000 plus vessels registered to the Marshall Islands, who can now record more activity through our K-Fleet Logbook solution and integrate it with K-Fleet," said Kongsberg Maritime product manager Rune Stalstrom.
"We hope that this will catalyse further acceptance in other major flag states, enabling even more ships to meet their reporting requirements effectively," he said.
As part of the approval notice, the Marshall Islands administration emphasised K-Fleet Logbook's ability to be integrated with the K-Fleet Voyage application to monitor and report daily voyage data in support of, and to meet, the compliance needs of the forthcoming requirements of new EU-regulation 2015/757 for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping.
Kongsberg introduced a new CO2 monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) application for the K-Fleet suite in December, 2016.
Kongsberg is also involved in the Secure, Efficient, and Safe Maritime Traffic Management in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore (SESAME) Straits project, which uses e-Navigation concepts to reduce maritime traffic congestion and hot spots, as well as improve traffic safety and efficiency.
The SESAME Straits project is a three-year joint Singapore and Norway project, funded by the Norwegian Research Council and led by Kongsberg Norcontrol in close collaboration with project partners, including the Norwegian Coastal Administration, Navtor, University of South East Norway, SINTEF Ocean, Kongsberg Seatex, Kongsberg Maritime plus Singaporean partners.
