Vestas Optimises Offshore Operations with BareFLEET

Since 2019, Vestas has used BareFLEET to improve the efficiency and performance of its offshore wind operations. The system is implemented across their Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) and Service Operation Vessel (SOV) charter fleet, supporting daily decision-making and long-term operational strategy.

BareFLEET has become a requirement for any long-term CTV charter at Vestas. This ensures consistent data across their offshore fleet, allowing for better vessel oversight and performance management. Vestas primarily uses BareFLEET’s Telematics and Digital DPR (Daily Progress Report) features, which have been adapted for CTV operations. These tools provide:

Daily summary of key operation metrics, including transit motion sickness risk, turbine transfer performance scores, and fuel consumption:

  1. Digital crew logs, improving logbook accuracy and reducing administration time.
  2. Real-time access to live vessel data for activity tracking.
  3. Access to historical trend data through the BareFLEET Analytics platform.
  4. Driving Data-Backed Decisions

The BareFLEET Analytics platform allows Vestas to compare vessel performance across their charter fleet. This helps identify trends, anomalies, and areas for improvement, particularly in vessel transit, transfer performance, and fuel efficiency.

Vestas plans to integrate BareFLEET data directly into their internal systems using the platform’s API. This step aims to streamline data flows, enable deeper analysis, and further embed BareFLEET data into Vestas’ operational intelligence.
