OSM to set up high-tech ops centre in Singapore

OSM said in a press release that the new centre will transform decision-making, efficiency and performance for its global customer base, while highlighting a new, sustainable path forward for the industry.

The facility, developed in partnership with Azendian Solutions, a Singapore based analytics company, will initially allow OSM to connect all its data sources around the world. In the near future, the operations centre will not only be the main pillar of OSM’s technical management offerings to the market, but it will also be a maritime innovation hub, with plans to develop game-changing technologies through an ecosystem of digital partnerships.

“The Operations Centre is enabled by a cloud-based analytics solution tailor-made for OSM,” said OSM ceo Geir Sekkesaeter. “This allows us to ‘join up’ all our global operations in real time, giving us full visibility, both financially and operationally, of every activity through a suite of dashboards and analytics applications. These can be accessed anywhere in the world, from any device, by any decision maker, empowering them to make optimal decisions at all times.”

“This creates transparency throughout the organization and, through big data utilization, allows us to identify trends, predict issues and take actions that deliver safety, efficiency and cost benefits for all our stakeholders. It is a truly transformational, long-term management solution that will create a platform for a new age of sustainable, optimized operations and commercial strength. We believe it sets a benchmark for the industry.”

“The initial construction of the Operations Centre may be nearing completion, but this is far from the end of the journey in terms of our technological development,” Sekkesaeter stressed. “We have ambitious plans to utilise this new analytical power as a platform to create maritime solutions that will help our customers meet their operational and commercial objectives.

“We’re looking into a range of technologies - including IoT enabled equipment, drones, blockchain, AI for predictive maintenance, advanced bots and edge computing, to name just a few – and will partner with leading digital developers to create smart solutions that make the most of our extensive data and industry understanding. The potential is huge… and this new facility will help us realise that.”
