The FuelTrax™ Suite
The FuelTrax Suite is the first comprehensive marine fuel management system designed specifically for the marine industry. FuelTrax™ - the Vessel Monitoring System, and FuelNet™ - the Fuel Web Portal, are integrated technologies that optimize fuel savings on the vessel and across the fleet. Using custody-grade fuel flowmeters and marine fuel tank level sensors, these technologies monitor fuel flow and report fuel consumption to the wheelhouse and to headquarters. Information on fuel consumption, inventory and vessel logistics are relayed to the FuelNet data center in Houston via the Iridium Low Earth Orbit satellite network. This information is then made available over the Internet via FuelNet, the web-based marine fuel reporting system.

This is interesting. Historically, the marine industry has not been compelled to manage fuel usage since it has been cheap to buy, particularly bunker fuel. These days, even bunkter fuel is expensive.
How is the current price of marine fuel affecting investment in fuel optimization technologies? Are marine operating companies still looking to save marine fuel?
