en.Wedoany.com Reported - Shipping Technology recently announced the launch of ST Brain Lite, a plug-and-play onboard data unit for chartered inland vessels, with its first customer being Danser Group. The device autonomously collects vessel, cargo, and GPS positioning data, transmitting this information to the ST Dashboard platform, thereby enabling chartered inland vessels to access a real-time digital operations system.

Danser plans to deploy ST Brain Lite on vessels chartered for its Limburg Express service, which connects Rotterdam, Venlo, and Born. This initiative means that both owned and chartered vessels on this route can simultaneously provide real-time operational data.

ST Brain Lite can generate operational and emissions reports and allows data sharing with up to three external partners via ST Connect, depending on the specific market segment served. External parties mentioned in the announcement include Green Award, Cofano, and Bargeplanner.

From a hardware perspective, ST Brain Lite is a compact onboard computer that can interface with existing vessel systems, such as GPS, AIS, loading systems, and potentially tank monitoring or container stowage software. The device is designed for installation by the crew, with Shipping Technology providing remote activation support.

Danser CEO Ben Maelissa noted that the device helps the company accumulate more comprehensive data to support better operational decisions. Shipping Technology COO Donald Baan emphasized that ST Brain Lite is designed to eliminate obstacles in the digitalization process for vessels that still heavily rely on analog processes.

Shipping Technology is a privately held company headquartered in Rotterdam, specializing in developing digital systems for inland navigation, with products including ST Brain, ST Sailing, ST Emissions, and ST Connect. Its customer, Danser Group, is a Dutch inland container logistics company that has been operating in container logistics since 1982, providing multimodal transport services via barge, truck, and rail across Northwest European inland waterways. Additionally, the Green Award Foundation is an independent certification body that certifies vessels and shipping companies meeting safety, quality, and environmental standards; Cofano is a Dutch software company providing logistics and transport management systems; and Bargeplanner specializes in developing planning software for inland container shipping.
