From the Engine Room to the Boardroom

Operational intelligence that speaks maritime language - from engineers to executives

Modern maritime fleets generate vast amounts of data every second. From propulsion systems and fuel consumption to power generation, environmental conditions, and safety systems, today’s vessels provide abundant information. However, for many organisations, this data remains locked away in the engine room.

Technical data is, of course, vital to those in the engine room and helm. But it can be challenging to translate into meaningful insights for fleet, asset and maintenance managers, and C-level executives. On Watch bridges that gap.

On Watch transforms raw vessel data into clear, actionable intelligence. Transparent reporting empowers everyone from engineers and fleet asset managers to CFOs and CEOs to make better, faster decisions that improve reliability, efficiency, safety and performance.

 

One platform, many perspectives

Operational excellence depends on a shared understanding of performance. Engineers need technical detail. Operations teams need trends and exceptions. Executives need clarity, context, and confidence in the numbers.

One platform, many perspectives-1

On Watch is designed to deliver the right insights, in the correct language, to the right audience.

    • Technical stakeholders can access granular data from vessel sensors across engines, fuel systems, electrical systems, and auxiliary equipment.
    • Operational managers can track performance benchmarks, maintenance indicators, and efficiency metrics across fleets.
    • Executive leaders receive high-level dashboards and reports that connect operational performance to cost, risk, and strategic outcomes.

All from the same trusted data source.

Custom reports reflect how your marine fleet operates

No two fleets are the same. Vessel types, routes, weather, and business priorities all vary, so reporting should match real fleet needs.

On Watch enables the creation of custom reports and dashboards tailored to your organisation’s needs:

    • Fleet-wide performance summaries for executive review
    • Vessel-by-vessel comparisons for operational optimisation
    • Equipment-level reporting for engineering and maintenance teams
    • Automated reports aligned with KPIs, budgets, and sustainability goals.

Instead of forcing teams to adapt to rigid templates, On Watch adapts to how your business already works, making insights easier to understand and act upon.

 

Performance benchmarks that drive improvement

Understanding performance in isolation is only part of the picture. Real progress comes from knowing how each vessel, system, or operating profile compares to expectations and to the rest of the fleet.

On Watch provides performance benchmarking that helps organisations:

      • Identify underperforming vessels or systems early
      • Compare similar vessels operating under different conditions
      • Track improvements following operational or maintenance changes
      • Establish realistic, data-driven performance targets
      • Help people to be the best they can be.

These benchmarks turn historical data into a powerful tool for continuous improvement, enabling teams to move from reactive problem-solving to proactive optimisation.

From sensors to actionable insight

Modern vessel sensors can measure almost any aspect of a boat’s systems, including temperatures, pressures, vibration, fuel flow, power output, and more. The list is endless. But data alone does not create value.

On Watch transforms sensor data into transparent reporting andactionable insights by:

      • Aggregating data from multiple onboard sensors and systems
      • Highlighting trends, anomalies, and threshold breaches
      • Presenting information visually through intuitive dashboards
      • Triggering onboard alerts and insights that prompt timely intervention, which add to safety and maintenance mitigation.

The result is operational intelligence that doesn’t just describe what happened. It helps teams understand why it happened and what to do next.

Empowering operational innovation

When data is easy to obtain and understand, innovation readily follows. With On Watch, teams can develop confidence to generate and test new ideas, refine processes, and improve results. Facts rather than assumptions help create a continuous improvement mindset.

Examples include:

    • Optimising fuel use by identifying inefficiencies across routes or operating modes
    • Reducing downtime through early detection of equipment degradation
    • Improving reliability by standardising best-performing operating practices
    • Supporting sustainability initiatives with accurate emissions and efficiency data.

For leadership teams, this means better decisions with lower risk and a clearer line of sight between operational performance and business results.

Insights for critical management decisions

At the executive level, decisions around capital investment, maintenance strategy, and fleet expansion depend on reliable, transparent data.

On Watch is built to support that trust by providing:

    • A single source of truth for fleet performance
    • Consistent metrics from vessel to vessel
    • Clear visualisations that support board-level discussions
    • Data-driven insights that stand up to scrutiny.

On Watch delivers operational intelligence that leadership teams can rely on. Whether reviewing monthly performance, planning budgets, or shaping long-term strategy.

Speaking one language across the organisation

The most effective organisations are aligned at all levels. Having access to transparent, objective facts is crucial for achieving alignment by providing facts that everyone can agree on.

On Watch makes that alignment possible by ensuring everyone is working from the same data, presented in a way that makes sense for their role.

By unlocking powerful management insights for both C-level and operational management, On Watch helps fleets become more reliable, more efficient, and more competitive.

Because when operational intelligence speaks everyone’s language, better decisions follow.
