"We have been operating since the early 90s and have been renewing our mentality along the way, feeding into the new regulations, making sure that we are in front, making us one of the top operators currently in our core market." – Thomas Lynge, Fleet Systems Manager at Uni-Tankers
Challenges
Uni-Tankers needed a comprehensive fleet management solution to not only maintain operational efficiency but to also adhere to international regulations. The complexity of managing a diverse fleet while ensuring safety, compliance, and cost-effectiveness presented an opportunity for forward-leaning digitalisation.
Solutions
K-Fleet emerged as the pivotal solution for Uni-Tankers. For nearly twenty-years, K-Fleet has seamlessly integrated into the company’s operations, supporting decision-making processes at all levels—from daily operational tasks to strategic planning.
Implementation and Integration
The integration of K-Fleet modules into Uni-Tankers' daily operations has been transformative. The maintenance, procurement, and safety management systems have become more efficient and transparent. K-Fleet has enabled real-time tracking of spare parts, consumables, and certifications, ensuring that all operations comply with the highest safety standards.
"For the past decade, K -Fleet has supported not only many future functions, workflows, processes, big and small decisions on a daily basis, but also on the strategic level- anywhere from short, to mid, to long-term strategies." – Thomas Lynge
Results
The adoption of K-Fleet has led to substantial improvements in efficiency and safety. By enabling detailed tracking and reporting, Uni-Tankers has optimised its maintenance and procurement processes, resulting in significant cost savings and enhanced operational reliability.
"K-Fleet is the source of so much data that we can actually do some really deep dives into the data that we have- it's washed, it's clean, it is indicative of what is actually going on board our vessels." – Thomas Lynge
Co-Innovation with Kongsberg Digital’s K-Fleet Team
Uni-Tankers plans to deepen its partnership with Kongsberg Digital by participating in pilot projects for new modules and exploring mobile applications for on-the-go access to critical data. This proactive approach ensures that Uni-Tankers remains at the cutting edge of fleet management technology.
"The overall experience working with Kongsberg Digital has been, let's say, a great sparring partner, to have the same approach to the future. Instead of being focused on just the present , we have a long mid -term strategy. We see the same development points being necessary for the future, meeting the regulations and new requirements head on instead of on the fence being caught behind everybody else. I like the same approach, we basically have the same mindset and being proactive is something that is necessary to meet those challenges, but also to make sure that we are up front with all this development." – Thomas Lynge
