optimising ship performance

In Dordrecht, we manufacture and engineer solutions for the maritime industry.
At Aalberts, we drive sustainable transportation. We optimise vessel efficiency, both at sea and in harbours because we engineer maritime ship performance and monitoring solutions. Of all the seagoing vessels in the world, more than 70% has something of Aalberts on board. So we make quite an impact.

Global shipping is responsible for about 3% of the total greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. In order to reach the Net Zero Target in 2050, our customers need to reduce their carbon emission footprint significantly. In addition, interest rates for ship financing are based on the environmental impact of the vessel.

Our solutions for maritime sustainability, consist of sensors, data collection and cloud-based software solutions. Our solution measures the fuel consumption by the engine The power it relates to the propeller, logs the data, and shows it in a dashboard. Fuel efficiency, environmental compliance, advanced data management, remote diagnostics all from one mission-critical supplier with years of domain knowledge in the maritime industry.

What makes us unique is the fact that we produce our sensors inhouse, that we have years domain knowledge in the maritime industry and that we transformed into also producing our own software, using the data from our sensors into valuable information for our customers. Our customers get the insight they need and they can reduce the CO2 Footprint of their vessels.
