Dobroflot Adopts Smart Fuel Monitoring for Fishing Fleet with IoT Solution Developed by Orange Business Services
Russian fishing fleet operator Dobroflot
Group of Companies is set to deploy an IoT solution for fuel
monitoring from Orange
Business Services. The solution helps to optimize fuel consumption,
analyzing weather and vessel position, to save up to ten percent of fuel
costs, and also helps to prevent unauthorized fuel usage. The IoT
solution takes advantage of a fully-managed
satellite solution from Orange Business Services (News - Alert) that connects
Dobroflot's vessels and onshore operations.

Dobroflot, the leading manufacturer of canned fish in the Far East, will
pilot the IoT solution initially on a single vessel before rolling it
out across eight vessels in their fleet, including Vsevolod Sibirtsev,
the world's largest floating fish factory. This pilot will enable
Dobroflot to accurately monitor fuel consumption online while at sea, as
well as during bunkering and refueling. It will help crew to reduce
commercial losses by continuously monitoring the vessel's main engine,
its auxiliary diesel generators and boilers.
To develop the customized IoT solution, Orange Business Services teamed
up with Technodar, a Russian expert in fuel consumption monitoring
systems and satellite transport monitoring. Technodr leverages the
highly-accurate Coriolis flow meter technology to measure mass flowing
through a pipe. Sensors feed measurements directly to the IoT solution,
which sends data back to shore via an onboard VSAT terminal. The
solution requires no initial investment from Dobroflot, who will pay
only a monthly subscription for the service.
"The savings from Orange Business Services' IoT solution will have a
significant impact on our bottom line, as around half of a vessel's
operating costs are related to fuel. An active IoT system on board our
vessels will enable us to collect data in real time and map the most
efficient routes," said Evgeny Stepanov, CTO, Dobroflot.
"We started discussing innovative IoT solutions with Dobroflot after we
successfully deployed VSAT satellite terminals across its fleet. We
jointly came to the conclusion that Orange Business Services IoT
solutions could provide Dobroflot with a suite of tools and applications
that could reduce their operating costs, detect inefficiencies and
predict when maintenance is needed - whether the vessel is at sea or
onshore. This project again demonstrates Orange is a leader in building
and managing global IoT solutions," said Richard Van Wageningen, senior
vice president, Indirect, Middle East, Africa and Russia, Orange
Business Services.
The pilot implementation will be onboard a refrigerated transport
vessel, which is used to navigate the notoriously difficult Northeast
passage through the Arctic. Dobroflot is the only Russian fishing
company using this route to transport goods to the central part of
Russia. Orange Business Services' fully-managed satellite solution and
fuel monitoring system will make the route safer and more efficient for
Dobroflot's vessels.
