Kongsberg and Yxney team up to offer a tool for fleet energy management
Partnership with Kongsberg Digital makes Maress available on Kognifai
Kongsberg Digital and Yxney, an energy efficiency specialist helping customers achieve combined savings of more than 60 000 tons of CO2 in 2020, team up to offer shipowners and operators a unique tool for fleet energy management. Their Maress application is available to all Vessel Insight users on the Kognifai Marketplace.
Yxney`s Maress application is a digital management solution for decarbonizing maritime operations, providing vessel owners and operators with insight needed to reduce fuel consumption and emission footprint. Maress facilitates transparency and a new way of collaborating towards industry emission targets. A baseline based on historic performance is calculated for every activity for every vessel. With an up to date and real-time overview of the operations of each vessel -and the total fleet, Maress makes analyzing the effect of individual energy saving initiatives, or whole programs easier.
By January 2021, approximately 300 vessels are using Maress within the core segments offshore and shipping. Yxney has experienced rapid growth the past few years, demonstrated by an approximately 100 percent increase in its customer base from 2019 to 2020. The rapid growth suggests an increasing demand for data-driven solutions that reduce fuel consumption, costs, and environmental impact for shipowners and energy companies.
Eirik Næsje, Senior Vice President of Vessel Insight, KDI, says:
"We are very excited to partner up with Yxney. The concept of Yxney brilliantly challenge the dichotomy between reducing environmental footprint and cutting costs in the industry. This is a service that’s been highly called for in the industry. We can now offer our subscribers a powerful tool to improve their understanding of vessel energy consumption and to capitalize on operational data. With the driving forces towards meeting IMO2030, IMO2050 and continuously stricter regulations, it is a much-needed application that will increase the business value of Vessel Insight for its users."

The Partnership will add greater value to all users of KONGSBERG`s vessel-to-cloud data infrastructure solution, Vessel Insight. By being part of the Kognifai Marketplace, Yxney can reach more customers in need of their solution.

"We see Kongsberg as a leader in maritime technology and navigational systems. Vessel Insight and Kognifai enables Kongsberg systems installed on thousands of vessels worldwide to send data to the cloud. The partnership between Kongsberg Digital and Yxney enables Maress to utilize the data from Kongsberg systems onboard the vessels to deliver visualizations and transparency on data related to sustainability.
