StormGeo and Danelec have successfully implemented an advanced vessel performance optimization system for 48 Turkish vessels owned by shipping companies Arkas and Er Shipping. The solution integrates Danelec’s onboard and cloud infrastructure with StormGeo’s Vessel Performance solutions for managing the commercial, technical and environmental performance of entire fleets.

The collaboration between Danelec and StormGeo began in 2023 to fulfill the needs of StormGeo’s strategic partnership with the Turkish Shipowners’ Association (TSA). The project highlights the technology agnostic nature of Danelec and their Danelec Collect onboard infrastructure, while boosting the total number of Turkish ships using StormGeo’s Vessel Performance solutions to 225. Leveraging high-frequency vessel sensor data provided by Danelec, StormGeo provides valuable insights into vessel performance, and will enable Arkas and Er shipping to make informed decisions and reduce emissions across their fleets.

Emre Reha Güven, Environmental Management Superintendent at Arkas, said: “At Arkas, we take our environmental goals seriously. We are excited to deepen our partnership with StormGeo by equipping 44 vessels in our fleet with high-frequency data reporting through the StormGeo-Danelec solution. We are confident that the high-quality data and environmental expertise this partnership provides will strengthen our efforts to decarbonize the shipping industry alongside other TSA members. It is incredibly gratifying for us to see the project come to life and witness the excellent cooperation between the teams.”

Yunus Kaya, StormGeo’s Solution Sales Manager and Project Lead for TSA Partnership Project said. “We are proud to see this project come to life, thanks to the close collaboration between our team, Danelec, and the support from the TSA. Our continued success in the Turkish market is driven by excellent initiatives like these, which provide powerful tools to our customers. We are grateful for the trust placed in our solutions by both partners and clients, and we remain committed to delivering technological excellence that supports informed decision-making and enhances operational and environmental performance.”

Christian Treu, VP of Revenue, Ship Performance said: “We are leaning heavily into the performance market and see great potential in enabling the maritime ecosystem to leap towards a more efficient and sustainable future through high-frequency data. That’s why we are especially proud of our strong and solid partnership with StormGeo. The full-fleet commitment from Arkas is a great testament from the leading Turkish ship owner that we are providing a solid joint solution. A testimony to our agnostic approach which we hope to further develop globally – for the benefit of the maritime value chain.”
