Digital reporting helps reduce administrative load.
Paris, France—December 9: SMT Shipping, a leading global bulk cargo
operator, has implemented Spinergie’s Smart Fleet Management (SFM)
system to reduce crew workload and improve onboard data accuracy.
Approximately 30 SMT Shipping vessels use Spinergie reporting across the
company’s global operations. The system frees crew members from
repetitive, time-consuming reporting tasks while ensuring SMT Shipping
remains fully compliant with evolving regulatory requirements.
Spinergie has designed its digital reporting tools to simplify and
standardise reporting across any maritime fleet. These tools include
guided manual data entry, automatic data population, and robust quality
control checks at the point of input. This significantly reduces rework
and minimises verification exchanges whilst ensuring data accuracy
across SMT Shipping’s fleet.
Crew members enter data only once, which is automatically sent to SMT
internal teams, weather routing providers, charterers, and verifiers for
regulatory compliance, eliminating the need for crew to fill out
multiple forms with the same information.
Fleet feedback has been positive. The system’s design was praised for
its simplicity and time-saving features, with one user noting that the
interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, requiring minimal training.
“The program has streamlined data entry by allowing information to be
recorded once and reflected across multiple reports. This has
significantly reduced duplication and improved consistency of the data,
said the Master of M/V Caline C, SMT Shipping.
“Our everyday mission is to solve the major pain points faced by
owners and operators. One of their most persistent challenges is the
significant time crews spend on reporting tasks, especially reporting
the same data repeatedly. The feedback from SMT Shipping’s crews tells
us we are on the right track. Their success and improved efficiency
confirm the value of what we do. When you make life easier for the crew,
you set the foundation for a more efficient and safer fleet,” said
Jack Madden, UK Team Lead—Client Success, Spinergie.
