1、Optimising vessel schedules with digital twin technologyAbout CetasolCetasol is a Swedish maritime technology company that helps vessel owners and operators cut fuel consumption and emissions.Spun out of Volvo Penta and based in Gothenburg,we develop iHelm,a decision-support platform that transforms

2、 vessel data into clear,real-time guidance for onboard crew and actionable insights for shore teams.With iHelm,operators save fuel,reduce emissions,and future-proof their operations for the evolving demands of sustainable shipping.A ferry owner requested Cetasol to help in fuel consumption predictio
