LogChain Selected for the Prestigious IBM Z ScaleUp Program

Being able to navigate on going maritime ecosystem
inefficiencies and challenges is no longer sufficient. It is time to scale the
digital transformation (DX) muscles and strategically optimize your vessel
operations. What new technologies can you embrace to <b>strengthen your supply chain, operate vessels more efficiently,
reliably, and lessen the carbon footprint impact</b>?

Smart Ship© Hub Remote, the digital platform offers <b>real-time condition monitoring and analysis
of machinery, vessel performance</b> while enabling <b>predictive diagnostics and maintenance. </b>

Aside from capturing high-frequency data, we leverage legacy machine
data, noon reports, maker manuals, and information collected from ship trials
for integrated analytics. Our proprietary machine learning algorithms are
trained to gain insight and provide business intelligence on vessel
performance, fuel consumption, main engine health, and the overall condition of
the vessel.&nbsp; 

Smart Ship© Hub Remote leverages the power of Industrial IOT for to
help ship owners, &nbsp;operators, charterers
detect potential issues before it arises, empowering them to make data-driven intelligent
decisions and proactive adjustments. That positively impacts business KPIs,
reducing unplanned vessel downtime, increasing operational efficiency, and
propelling the ship towards global sustainability goals.

<a></a>Remote monitoring to protect
you from existing risks

<a></a>Advanced analytics for freedom
from future risks

Maritime trade is a high-stakes business
where <b>shipowners, operators, charterers</b>
shoulder crucial responsibilities. Smart Ship© Hub (SSH) understands the
complexities of the marine environment and the variety of problems they have to
deal with. On board equipment and machinery are more prone to breakdowns,
malfunctions, and unexpected repairs. Vessels are under constant motion
rendering its equipment to have continuous wear and tear. A break down ( or in
other words Downtime) takes top dollar to ensure the vessel is once again seaworthy
. Time elapsed between the downtime and it being back in operational condition
is directly related to premium paid for maintenance . 

Mechanical or structural flaws can cause
serious mishaps and have often resulted in casualties during routine ship
operations. <b>Machinery failure</b>
accounted for one in three reported shipping casualties or incidents globally,
as per the Allianz Safety and Shipping Review 2022. <i>Statistics do not lie! </i>

Marine power systems failure or vessel
engine damage can not only put all assets, cargo, the crew on board the vessel <b>in danger</b> but also poses a threat to
marine ecology. And if the vessel is a chemical tanker , crude oil carrier or
dry bulk that is combustible: the risks and accountabilities are significant. Vessel
damage or vessel downtime translates to <b>significant
financial losses</b> in business. There's constant pressure to <b>prevent incidents at sea and reduce vessel
downtime,</b> along with the challenge of seeing maintenance costs remain in
check. 

Smart Ship ©Hub (SSH) endeavors to help
alleviate the problems and manage the risks that maritime trade ship owners and
operators face. With our digital platform in play, vessels are highly reliable
and the reliability ranges between 20% to 33% , one in three downtime scenarios
have are being constantly successfully predicted and averted. 

Planned maintenance is essential for
reducing the frequency of equipment or machinery failures and avoiding
breakdowns that may lead to disruptions in vessel operations. However,
continuing to sail within the comfort zone—relying solely on traditional ship
maintenance methods—will leave ship owners and operators vulnerable to
unexpected breakdowns and costly downtime. 

It thus becomes
"mission-critical" to get Smart and <b>explore a newer, more economical, and effective maintenance approach.</b>

<a></a>Reliable
and cost-effective technologies with multilevel impact—even from REMOTE
locations in real-time. 

<a></a>Smart Ship Hub’s “ All in One”
Feature

the shipping industry, powered by dynamic machine learning (ML) algorithms and
artificial intelligence (AI). 

Smart Ship© Hub (SSH) digital platform
uses high-frequency data and proprietary algorithms to create a Vessel Health
Index, providing real-time insights into machinery health and equipment
condition. A very unique offering where the vessel’s health is quantified in
terms of its machinery fitness and vessel’s over all sea worthiness. Augmenting
your planned maintenance systems with Smart Ship© Hub Remote will support you
in proactively addressing potential issues and avoiding costly downtime. Remote
monitoring and Live communication of vessel and machine health data enable
predictive maintenance and effective management of shipping operations. 

Maritime digitalization technologies are
now a prerequisite, a cost-competitive investment that will serve you well in
the long term.

<a></a>“An organization with a ‘safety
culture’ is one that gives appropriate priority
to safety and realizes that safety has to be managed like other areas of the
business.”

<a></a>– International Maritime Organisation 

It is crucial to conduct timely maintenance activities for the vessel's
structural integrity and stability to remain in compliance with safety
standards&nbsp; and environmental
regulations.&nbsp; 

<b>Remote management of Vessels </b>through collection of fleet-wide data across vessels coming from the
engine and onboard equipment, end-to-end analytics, and reporting have a
combined positive impact, redefining the <b>Vessel
Health &amp; Condition Monitoring </b>process. 

Smart Ship© Hub
Remote’s&nbsp; SMART ALERT for various failure
modes provides advance warning on possible downtime. The ALERT engine is configured
to generate alarms when actual and potential errors or failure is detected. The
other purpose of the alarm is to prioritize the failures based on how serious
the consequences could be and how frequently they occur. It also generated
Failure Mode Effect Analysis along with in-depth knowledge on risks of failures
that could inform timely actions and support continuous improvement.

Relevant drawings,
videos, images of equipment, safety procedures, inspections, and work orders
are linked to these alarms. The generated alarms and notifications can be made
available on devices like iPads aside from Desktops. The SMART ALERT tool is
most useful for planning optimal downtime schedules in advance, well before the
failure occurs. 

Predictive
Analytics enables maritime trade shipowners and operators to avoid costly
unplanned downtime and increase asset reliability from a remote environment.
Graphical chart-based and tabular insights based on historical as well as Live
shipping data are available as a customized service to accurately measure
critical vessel parameters. 

Our validated and
globally trusted ML-based advanced integrated analytics detect and deliver
early warnings on vessel condition, engine health, and other asset
anomalies—sometimes weeks or months before the failure occurs. The predictive
algorithms can forecast the exact time of failure, allowing maintenance
priorities to be specified. 

Predictive
Analytics provides the necessary information to trigger Alerts and assists
engineers in determining the next maintenance cycle for machinery or equipment
in service to prevent unanticipated problems during the voyage and wastage of
resources. 

With substantial
cost savings as one of the key outcomes, maritime trade organizations are
deploying Smart Ship© Hub Remote for Predictive Maintenance that ensures lower
vessel downtime.

The SMART ALERT tool
triggers our proprietary machine learning (ML) algorithms that gets trained to
deliver vessel health diagnostics by utilizing live data generated together
with historical data, past FMEA’s, Legacy onboard data and other pertinent process
data captured through our Data Quality Management (DQM) feature. The
data-driven machine learning-based wear fault diagnostic model is built to
support engineers in determining the cause of fault modes correctly. 

The diagnostics
algorithms identify the root cause and provide clear actionable insights and
recommendations for making informed decisions. The ML algorithms thus help
avoid failures, especially those earmarked as a high priority by the automated
Technical Advisory Reports for crew and shore staff. 

Smart Ship© Hub
Remote IOT Services can be relied upon for data-backed guidance on corrective
measures, leading to substantial savings in spares, maintenance costs, labor,
and lost business opportunities.

Remote’s&nbsp; SMART ALERT for various failure
modes provides advance warning on possible downtime. The ALERT engine is configured
to generate alarms when actual and potential errors or failure is detected. The
other purpose of the alarm is to prioritize the failures based on how serious
the consequences could be and how frequently they occur. It also generated
Failure Mode Effect Analysis along with in-depth knowledge on risks of failures
that could inform timely actions and support continuous improvement.</p><p>Relevant drawings,
videos, images of equipment, safety procedures, inspections, and work orders
are linked to these alarms. The generated alarms and notifications can be made
available on devices like iPads aside from Desktops. The SMART ALERT tool is
most useful for planning optimal downtime schedules in advance, well before the
failure occurs. </p><h3><a></a>Predictive Analytics</h3><p>Predictive
Analytics enables maritime trade shipowners and operators to avoid costly
unplanned downtime and increase asset reliability from a remote environment.
Graphical chart-based and tabular insights based on historical as well as Live
shipping data are available as a customized service to accurately measure
critical vessel parameters. </p><p>Our validated and
globally trusted ML-based advanced integrated analytics detect and deliver
early warnings on vessel condition, engine health, and other asset
anomalies—sometimes weeks or months before the failure occurs. The predictive
algorithms can forecast the exact time of failure, allowing maintenance
priorities to be specified. </p><p>Predictive
Analytics provides the necessary information to trigger Alerts and assists
engineers in determining the next maintenance cycle for machinery or equipment
in service to prevent unanticipated problems during the voyage and wastage of
resources. </p><p>With substantial
cost savings as one of the key outcomes, maritime trade organizations are
deploying Smart Ship© Hub Remote for Predictive Maintenance that ensures lower
vessel downtime.</p><h3><a></a>Diagnostics Algorithms </h3><p>The SMART ALERT tool
triggers our proprietary machine learning (ML) algorithms that gets trained to
deliver vessel health diagnostics by utilizing live data generated together
with historical data, past FMEA’s, Legacy onboard data and other pertinent process
data captured through our Data Quality Management (DQM) feature. The
data-driven machine learning-based wear fault diagnostic model is built to
support engineers in determining the cause of fault modes correctly. </p><p>The diagnostics
algorithms identify the root cause and provide clear actionable insights and
recommendations for making informed decisions. The ML algorithms thus help
avoid failures, especially those earmarked as a high priority by the automated
Technical Advisory Reports for crew and shore staff. </p><p>Smart Ship© Hub

THE TPS's CDR ONLINE INNOVATION RECEIVED AWARD FROM MARKETEERS AWARD 2023

As a firm with a significant global footprint, Linklaters understands the importance of the changing climate and strong environmental management. In June 2021, Linklaters adopted firmwide carbon reduction targets to meet by April 2030 - approved by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) - including to reduce emissions, and this move further demonstrates the firm’s commitment to reducing Scope 3 emissions by 50%.&nbsp;

Ken Lee, CEO DHL Express Asia Pacific, says: “Sustainability is increasingly becoming an important part of the business for most of our customers. Companies are now more committed than ever to reducing their environmental impact, thus it is important that we provide them with feasible solutions to do so. SAF is our key lever to improve carbon emissions, and we are proud to be the first global express courier to enable our customers to do.”

Launched this year, GoGreen Plus enables customers to reduce their Scope 3 emissions through insetting. This means that customers can effectively bring down carbon emissions that occur in their supply chain by choosing the amount of SAF they want to use for their shipments. SAF is currently the only scalable solution for the next years to come, given that it is the only option for long-range flights. SAF can also reduce lifecycle emissions of typical aviation fuel emissions by up to 70-80%.

Robert Elliot, Partner and member of Science-Based Targets Steering Group at Linklaters, says: “Linklaters is proud to partner with DHL in this innovative and market-leading initiative. As a responsible business, we have a global commitment to reduce our environmental impact and associated greenhouse gas emissions – collaborating with the right partners in our value chain makes an important contribution as we strive to meet our Science-Based Targets by 2030. We wish the DHL team the very best as they raise awareness about GoGreen Plus and hope that more organizations support this initiative to build momentum behind it and collectively help to increase the pace of positive change.”

DHL Group is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and is investing a total of EUR 7 billion in carbon emissions reduction initiatives. With approximately 90% of its carbon footprint derived from the air network, viable and sustainable air transport solutions are important for creating cleaner and greener logistics operations. This includes two of the largest ever deals with bp and Neste, who will supply DHL with more than 800 million liters of sustainable aviation fuel until 2026. This contributes to the interim target of using 30 percent SAF for all air transport by 2030. Equally, DHL Express has also partnered with Eviation, who will deliver up to 12 electric cargo planes from 2027 onwards.&nbsp;
