Accelleron and Hyundai Marine Solutions (HMS), a division of the HD Hyundai Group, have formalised a partnership to enhance digital marine technologies.
The agreement involves integrating Accelleron’s solutions for engine and turbocharger monitoring with HMS's digital tools like the Integrated Smart Ship Solution (ISS 2.0) and the AI-based emission monitoring tool, OceanWise.
Enhanced digital integration
The collaboration focuses on improving digital tools within the maritime sector. It leverages Hyundai Marine Solution's ship management capabilities through ISS 2.0 and Accelleron’s LOREKA360° Tekomar XPERT Engine, along with the Turbo Insights monitoring tool.
These solutions aim to enhance vessel performance and optimise engine efficiency, thereby offering ship owners and operators comprehensive analytics and actionable insights.
Accelleron's digital analytics solutions
Turbo Insights offers advanced analytics from the point of turbocharger installation, aiding shipowners
Accelleron’s LOREKA360° Tekomar XPERT Engine is currently deployed on approximately 100 vessels from HMS’s customer base.
The company plans to expand this number to 500 vessels, including both existing and newly built ships, with licences issued by HMS. This solution provides immediate onboard engine performance assessments and advice.
Moreover, Turbo Insights offers advanced analytics from the point of turbocharger installation, aiding shipowners in verifying performance during tests and trials, and supports sustainability and cost-efficiency goals. It integrates seamlessly with other digital services provided by Accelleron.
AI and real-time data capabilities
Hyundai’s ISS 2.0 gathers real-time data from onboard devices, assisting with navigational and operational analyses.
Meanwhile, OceanWise employs AI to enhance performance modelling, route optimisation, and emissions monitoring, using operational data without the need for additional hardware installations.
Strategic Partnership Goals
Accelleron’s Global Head of Sales and Operations, Digital Solutions, Shailesh Shirsekar, expressed optimism about the collaboration, stating, “With a customer pool comprising vessels built by one of the world’s pioneering shipbuilders, HMS is a strong partner in the delivery of Accelleron solutions. Working together, we will enable ship operators to make the most of both platforms, driving efficiency and cost improvements.”
Bong-jun Choi, Head of HD Hyundai Marine Solution’s Digital Technology Centre, also commented on the strategic benefits, adding, “Through this partnership, we will help ship owners and operators achieve a new level of operational efficiency not only for ships built at HD Hyundai, but also ships in operation. We are confident that our strategic cooperation with Accelleron will create new opportunities for our customers.”
Accelleron has signed an agreement with Hyundai Marine Solution (HMS), the aftermarket and digital division of shipbuilder, HD Hyundai Group, to enter a strategic cooperation on digital solutions. Two Accelleron solutions will cover engine and turbocharger monitoring and optimisation.
Under the partnership, the companies will seek closer integration and further efficiencies across digital tools. These include HD Hyundai Marine Solution's ship management system, Integrated Smart Ship Solution ISS 2.0 and AI-based emissions monitoring solution OceanWise, and Accelleron’s engine performance optimisation solution LOREKA360° Tekomar XPERT Engine and monitoring tool Turbo Insights.
Accelleron’s advanced digital analytics solution
Accelleron currently delivers LOREKA360° Tekomar XPERT Engine to around 100 vessels
Accelleron currently delivers LOREKA360° Tekomar XPERT Engine to around 100 vessels in HMS’s customer pool. Further licences for HHI vessels – including those already in service and those to be built – will be issued on Accelleron’s behalf by HMS, with the number expected to reach around 500 vessels in the near future.
The solution assesses engine performance and delivers related advisory instantly on board the vessel. Turbo Insights is Accelleron’s advanced digital analytics solution designed to transform raw operational data into actionable intelligence from the moment a turbocharger is installed.
It enables shipowners and operators to verify performance during shop tests, sea trials, and throughout the warranty period and beyond. It can support sustainability goals and cost reduction efforts, while enabling seamless integration with digital services such as LOREKA360° Tekomar XPERT Engine.
AI-based vessel performance
Hyundai’s ISS 2.0 is a state-of-the-art ship management system that collects real-time data from key onboard devices to provide analysis services as well as optimal navigation services.
OceanWise is an AI-based vessel performance model that expands to emissions analysis and route optimisation, leveraging operational voyage data without the need for onboard hardware.
