Towards a digitized and sustainable maritime future
What does the project consist of?
The BeyondSea project is an innovative data visualization platform that centralizes and analyzes a vast amount of information generated by each voyage of the company’s ships. This includes data on location, fuel consumption, travel times, incidents, and maintenance. By using advanced sensor technologies and data collection methods, BeyondSea provides a comprehensive and real-time view of operations, optimizing both operational efficiency and strategic decision-making. The platform features specialized modules that measure punctuality, analyze ship KPIs, and monitor fuel consumption, among other aspects.
What is the objective of this project?
The main objective of BeyondSea is to provide an efficient communication channel between the various technologies used by Balearia, both software and hardware, and to present this data clearly and accessibly to the end user. This includes real-time data visualization and the implementation of an alert and notification system to detect any anomalies. By centralizing and analyzing this data, the platform not only enhances the operational efficiency of the fleet but also enables the company to make informed and strategic decisions. Additionally, the platform focuses on promoting sustainable practices by monitoring fuel consumption and other resources, helping Balearia reduce its carbon footprint and improve sustainability. BeyondSea also incorporates advanced tools for calculating emissions, allowing for more precise evaluation and reduction of environmental impact.
Which subsector of the tourism sector is the project aimed at?
The project is directed at the maritime transport subsector within the tourism sector. Balearia, as a leading company in transporting passengers, vehicles, and goods, operates on routes that are crucial for tourism, especially in island and coastal regions. This subsector faces unique challenges in terms of logistics, operational efficiency, and sustainability, and BeyondSea is designed to effectively address these challenges. By optimizing operations and enhancing fleet efficiency, the project directly contributes to improving the passenger experience, service punctuality, and environmental sustainability—critical factors in the maritime tourism sector.
How does it contribute to the digital transformation of the sector?
BeyondSea is a clear example of how digitalization can transform the maritime transport sector. By integrating advanced sensor technologies, data collection, and analysis, the platform digitizes numerous operational processes that have traditionally been managed manually or with non-integrated systems. This not only increases efficiency and reduces operational costs but also significantly enhances the company’s ability to respond to real-time issues, manage resources more effectively, and plan strategically. The platform also includes advanced capabilities for operational decision-making based on real-time data analysis, optimizing routes and resource usage. Digitalization fosters greater transparency and communication both within the company and with customers, elevating service standards and positioning Balearia as an innovative leader in the sector.
How have these fund contributed to financing your project? Without this support, would you have launched it?
The implementation of BeyondSea has been made possible thanks to the financial support received through funds aimed at the digitalization and modernization of the maritime sector. These funds have been crucial in covering the initial costs of developing and implementing the platform, including the acquisition of advanced technologies, staff training, and system integration. Without this financial assistance, it would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible, to launch a project of this magnitude and complexity. The funding not only enabled the creation of an advanced technological solution but also facilitated the rapid implementation and commercialization of the platform, allowing Balearia and other shipping companies to benefit from these innovations in a much shorter timeframe.
Conclusion
The BeyondSea project represents a significant step toward the modernization and digitalization of the maritime transport sector. By centralizing and analyzing crucial real-time data, the platform not only enhances operational efficiency and strategic decision-making but also promotes more sustainable practices. Aimed specifically at the maritime transport subsector within tourism, this project is poised to transform how shipping companies operate, offering a more efficient, timely, and environmentally friendly service. Thanks to the funds received, we have been able to implement an innovative solution, laying the groundwork for a more digitized and sustainable future in the maritime industry.
