Helm Operations Partners with Reygar to Reduce Carbon Footprint
Canada-UK digitization project set to support fleet operators in achieving emissions targets. Leading Canadian maritime operations platform provider, Helm Operations, is partnering with Bristol-based Reygarto harness the benefits of digitization as part of the global effort to reduce the maritime sector’s carbon footprint. The collaborative research and development initiative, jointly funded via Innovate UK’s 2022 ‘Canada-UK Zero Value Chains – Transportation’ call and the National Research Council of Canada, will pave the way towards lower carbon emissions and reduced operating costs for tug and workboat fleet operators worldwide. The project builds on existing cooperation between Reygar and Helm, who partnered in 2022 to support the rollout of BareFLEET to global marine, energy, and logistics provider Crowley. Crowley worked closely with Reygar and Helm on system integrations to generate essential maintenance, fuel and emissions data that empowers crews and fleet managers to adopt more efficient, fuel saving operational practices. Since then, other mutual customers have successfully adopted Helm CONNECT and BareFLEET integration for more streamlined and effective fleet management. The project addresses a key technological challenge for the global marine sector, which has tough targets to meet in its drive towards net zero emissions. The initial scope of work is expected to be completed by May 2024.
