The Signal Ocean Platform Reports Renewal
Signal Ocean has achieved a significant milestone in our reporting journey by migrating Redash dashboards completely to PowerBI. This shift represents a significant upgrade to our reporting capabilities, as it streamlines its reporting processes and empowers it to create more user-friendly reports that facilitate a more comprehensive, data-driven decision-making process for clients.
The transition to PowerBI brings added value to Signal Ocean's users in several key areas. Firstly, the loading and navigation speed of PowerBI reports significantly surpasses that of Redash, with optimisation reaching up to 80% improvement at times. This represents a substantial improvement in efficiency, enabling users to access and analyse data more quickly.
Secondly, the new reports are more dynamic and interactive, allowing users to have dynamic visualisations filtering their views. This increased interactivity provides more detailed analysis, making it easier for clients to identify patterns and trends in their data. Additionally, the ability to drill down into specific data points provides greater flexibility and empowers clients to make more informed decisions.
Thirdly, consolidating various insights into a single report represents a Comprehensive Product Improvement, enabling a more holistic approach for Signal Ocean's clients and simplifying their navigation throughout the platform. This improved organisation and accessibility makes it easier for users to access the information they need and to identify key insights that may have been missed in previous reporting processes.
Overall, this migration to PowerBI represents a significant step forward for Signal Ocean's reporting capabilities and will provide its clients with a more comprehensive and data-driven decision-making process. Our commitment to improving reporting and analytical capabilities demonstrates our ongoing commitment to delivering value to our clients and driving innovation in the shipping industry.

Increased Use of Renewable Energy:
Shipping companies are embracing renewable energy sources to power onboard systems and reduce emissions during port operations. Solar panels and wind turbines are being installed on vessels to generate clean energy, reducing reliance on auxiliary engines, and cutting down emissions. Shore power facilities in ports allow ships to connect to the electrical grid, eliminating the need for onboard generators while docked.
Collaboration and Industry Partnerships:
Recognizing that addressing emissions requires collective action, shipping companies, governments, and organizations have formed partnerships and collaborations. These initiatives focus on research and development, sharing best practices, and promoting knowledge transfer. Joint projects aim to develop and deploy innovative technologies, improve infrastructure, and create a supportive regulatory framework to accelerate the industry's transition towards a greener future. The Zero Emission Shipping - Mission Innovation.
To pave the way for a greener future in shipping, the availability of alternative fuels plays a vital role in their widespread adoption. However, this availability is influenced by factors such as port infrastructure, local regulations, and government policies. As the demand for cleaner fuels in shipping rises and environmental regulations become more stringent, efforts are underway to improve the accessibility of these fuels through infrastructure development, collaborations, and investments in production facilities.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) infrastructure has seen significant growth in recent years, resulting in more LNG bunkering facilities and LNG-powered vessels. Nonetheless, the availability of LNG as a marine fuel can still vary depending on the region. To ensure consistent availability worldwide, there is a need for further development of LNG supply chains and infrastructure. For biofuels, their availability hinges on production capacity and the availability of feedstock. Although biofuels are being produced and utilized in various sectors, their availability as a marine fuel remains limited. Scaling up biofuel production and establishing robust supply chains are imperative to ensure wider availability within the shipping industry.Hydrogen, as a fuel for maritime applications, is still in the early stages of infrastructure development. While some hydrogen vessels have been tested or introduced in the first quarter of last year, the infrastructure required for hydrogen production and distribution needs further advancement.
Ammonia, as a marine fuel, currently faces limitations in availability. The production, storage, and handling infrastructure for ammonia need further development to support its widespread use in the shipping industry.Methanol, on the other hand, is already a commercially available fuel and has been used as a blend with conventional fuels in some ships. However, its availability as a standalone marine fuel can still be limited in certain regions. Bureau Veritas in October 2022 published a White Paper for the Alternative Fuels Outlook. This white paper provides a comprehensive overview of alternative fuels for the shipping industry, taking into account key factors such as technological maturity, availability, safety, emissions, and regulations.
