Lloyd’s Register OneOcean machine-learning technology adopted by TotalEnergies to reduce fuel consumption and emissions

Lloyd’s Register OneOcean (LR OneOcean) has collaborated with TotalEnergies, a global multi-energy company, to deploy advanced route optimisation technology across its shipping operations.

TotalEnergies has adopted LR OneOcean’s Route Optimisation solution, which combines expert master mariner oversight with sophisticated machine learning fuel modelling and hull analysis capabilities.

The Route Optimisation solution harnesses the power of both the Lloyd’s Register OneOcean Platform and its Vessel Operations team to grant unparalleled visibility into the performance of each vessel. The solution collects and analyses high-frequency vessel data and noon-reported data to create accurate fuel consumption models. By combining these models with accurate insights of route optimisation from the Vessel Operation team, the system can precisely simulate and improve fuel efficiency for any given voyage. These insights help TotalEnergies make better operational decisions, leading to fuel savings and reduced emissions across its fleet.

Initial results demonstrate significant benefits. In a trial of the Route Optimisation solution prior to full adoption, TotalEnergies has saved 725 metric tonnes of fuel and 2256 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions across its chartered fleet to date.

Jeff Mattick, Customer Success Director for LR OneOcean, said: “LR OneOcean, an industry leader of route optimisation and machine learning technology, has delivered significant benefits to our customers for over a decade by continuously innovating to bring value to our customers. We are pleased to welcome TotalEnergies to our family and look forward to optimising commercial outcomes, improving reliability, and reducing emissions with our advanced technology.”

Sebastien Roche, General Manager Shipping Performance and Innovation of TotalEnergies, said: “We are thrilled to integrate LR OneOcean route optimisation to enhance our chartered fleet’s voyage. This technology, combined with 24/7 advisory support, immediately and sustainably reduces fuel consumption and emissions, minimising the environmental footprint of our shipping activities. LR OneOcean’s close collaboration with shipping operators and crew ensures seamless adoption.”
