Commercial Marine Reliability
Cut sailing downtime and costs by 30% with continuous, real-time molecular insight.
Startiva helps commercial marine operators reduce oil consumption and maintenance costs by up to 30%.
Both planned downtime and, especially, unexpected breakdowns represent significant operating costs for a marine vessel. Given the constraints of an asset at sea, avoiding potential equipment failure is absolutely critical. To mitigate risk, operators traditionally rely on aggressive maintenance schedules based solely on operating hours. This cautious approach ignores the equipment's actual condition, leading to substantial unnecessary maintenance, premature oil changes, and costly waste.
Our marine monitoring system provides the solution. By employing advanced, real-time oil analysis, Startiva delivers continuous, actionable insight into the true status of your lubricant and critical equipment. This intelligence allows you to instantly optimize maintenance programs, ensuring service is performed only when truly necessary. The result is minimized maintenance expense, maintained engine reliability, and crucial continuous oversight while underway.
Operational reliability is paramount when far from port. Startiva delivers immediate, onboard validation of equipment health, drastically reducing the risk associated with relying on time-based schedules that may overlook rapidly developing issues. This continuous, real-time data flow empowers vessel engineers and shore management to make immediate, informed decisions regarding engine stress, route adjustments, and maintenance logistics, ensuring the vessel maintains its schedule and avoids costly diversions or emergency repairs.
Beyond maintenance costs, optimizing lubrication life directly impacts voyage economics. Our molecular analysis allows operators to safely extend oil drain intervals by determining the oil's true remaining lifespan, often well beyond OEM recommendations. This reduction in the volume of new oil purchased and waste oil disposed of—combined with the assurance of proactive failure detection—provides a significant boost to both operational efficiency and environmental compliance throughout the fleet.
