J.T. Essberger signed up for a pilot agreement with VesselMan for their upcoming dry-docking of Ursula Essberger. John T. Essberger is a pioneer of purpose-built parcel tankers and is one of Europe’s leading operators of such tankers, as well as operating Dry Cargo and Ship Management Divisions.

In 2021, Essberger and Stolt Tankers entered into a joint venture, E&S Tankers, to operate 48 highly sophisticated parcel tankers ranging in size from 2,800 to 11,300 deadweight tonnes, trading in Europe and in particular within the Baltic, Mediterranean and Northwest Europe.

Bernd Schlarmann, Fleet Manager at J. T. Essberger says that they are looking forward to starting using VesselMan. “We will benchmark VesselMan to our existing system, and I truly believe that we will see a lot of useful features and positive outcomes of this pilot project. We are also very excited to test the integration of VesselMan and Ulysses Systems which was launched earlier this year. We have been using Ulysses Systems as our PMS for more than 15 years, and this will enable a smooth and seamless integration between our PMS and VesselMan as our dry-docking tool.”

“We are proud to have J. T. Essberger onboard to test out VesselMan! In hectic times and with new challenges like we experience today, cloud-based solutions and the possibility to collaborate across teams and borders has never been as relevant as it is today! We look forward to assisting Essberger throughout their coming docking!”
