OPERIM® for LPG

OPERIM for LPG was co-developed with Solvang Shipping, one of the world's leading operators of LPG and petrochemical carriers.

Over more than five years, OPERIM was continuously tested and refined across their fleets. Results were reviewed at officer conferences, operational practices were discussed between vessels, and performance improved over time.

The result is not a theoretical software platform. It is a proven solution shaped by real crews, and real operational experience.

Some crews consistently achieve fewer compressor and generator running hours, lower power consumption, and better operational efficiency.

The challenge is not only finding the best performers.

The challenge is understanding what they do differently, helping others learn from them.

OPERIM transforms operational data into clear and transparent performance insights that reveal which crews achieve the best results and why.

The result is a continuous learning cycle where operational improvements spread naturally throughout the fleet.

The best crews become the teachers.

Every hour the cargo plant runs consumes power, generates wear, and increases maintenance requirements.

In many cases, the most effective way to reduce operating costs is simply to reduce equipment running hours without compromising cargo care or safety.

Yet the impact of operational decisions is often difficult to see. Without a clear feedback loop, operating practices naturally vary from vessel to vessel and crew to crew.

OPERIM® helps crews understand which operating practices consistently produce the best results.

Experienced Captains, Chiefs and Cargo Engineers do not need a black-box algorithm telling them what to do.

They need visibility.

OPERIM transforms operational data into simple, transparent insights that help crews understand how their vessel performs compared with others operating under similar conditions.

When performance becomes visible, learning accelerates.

Crews compare. Crews learn. Fleets improve.

Solvang's mission is to operate LPG and petrochemical carriers in the safest, cleanest, and most cost-effective manner possible.

OPERIM was developed around the same philosophy.

Rather than replacing experience with automation, the goal was to make operational experience measurable, shareable, and repeatable across the fleet.

Over time, high-performing crews set the benchmark. Their operating practices became visible. Other crews learned from their results. New ideas were discussed, tested, measured, and refined.

What began as individual vessel experience gradually became fleet-wide knowledge.

Today, OPERIM helps ensure that best practices are maintained while enabling newly promoted officers and new hires to learn from the fleet's most successful teams.

Lower Power Consumption

Reduce unnecessary cargo plant and power generation running hours.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

Less running time means less wear and lower OPEX.

Fleet-Wide Best Practices

Identify proven operating methods and make them repeatable across the fleet.

Faster Learning Cycles

Give crews the feedback they need to continuously improve operational efficiency.

Knowledge Retention

Preserve operational know-how as officers rotate, retire, or move into new roles.

Artificial intelligence can analyze data.

OPERIM helps people learn from it.

By creating a transparent feedback loop for cargo plant operations, OPERIM enables operators to identify best practices, accelerate learning, and reduce operating costs across the fleet.

The people operating the vessel are capable of making the right decision.

They just need feedback to know which decision worked best.
