“ Over the years ,” Damien continues , “ collaboration and long-term relationships with our valued customers have helped us identify other areas ripe for optimization such as contract performance and product management . That said , fuel consumption and emissions reduction remain focal points for improvement , and we are proud to still be able to achieve up to 15 percent in fuel savings , alongside CO₂ emissions reductions for our clients .”
Efficiency as a service
With a background in maritime law , international business and maritime management , Damien has over 15 years of experience in the marine offshore sector . At Opsealog , he is at the helm of maritime decarbonization , promoting customercentric solutions that drive performance across the sector .
“ My experience has enabled me to understand the complexity of offshore support vessels ’ operations and more generally , oil and gas industry activities . I have always been convinced that data can genuinely boost performance optimization . When the opportunity arose to join Opsealog , I knew it would be a good fit . The merge of data and maritime experience brings a clear approach to addressing clients ’ issues in a realistic way , and we continue to see excellent results for our customers . Indeed , the opportunities in front of us are really promising .
“ What we don ’ t want to do is become a specialist in areas such as crew management or logistics because there are already providers in the market delivering those specialized solutions . That said however , we are highly focused on optimizing performance . If we have access to the right data points and identify a need , there will always be the opportunity to optimize performance in areas such as crew management , product management , and
We trust in working under a common ecosystem , alongside other data providers and specialized companies in our approach to digitalization and processes
logistics . Thanks to the data we collect , we can help operational teams manage the duration of crew members ’ stays onboard for example , to ensure they comply with standards . Likewise , we can also help with contract management and ensure clients comply with their contractual obligations . I believe this encourages partnerships , which are beneficial for long-term working relationships , thereby generating greater efficiency .
“ While it ’ s true that it can sometimes be a challenge to manage integrating a data digitalization program into marine operations , at Opsealog , we believe pragmatism can make the difference . This is why our motto is to provide ‘ efficiency as a service ’. What makes the difference and what generates efficiency as a service is to ensure the right data points are being accessed for the right objectives . If you understand maritime objectives , as well as the data , it ’ s possible to leverage value . So , this is where we are quite unique , as we combine those two areas of expertise . If you have maritime expertise without data knowledge , you don ’ t get the fuel you need to deliver the power and likewise , if you have data expertise without an understanding of the maritime sector , you may use the fuel for something that won ’ t generate maximum power . We are pragmatic in our planning and define objectives in collaboration with our customers , consistently assessing those objectives for ongoing and maximum efficiency ,” he elaborates .
