Mackay Communications supplies marine propulsion performance management systems that give shipowners, fleet operators, and technical superintendents real-time visibility into vessel efficiency, fuel consumption, and engine performance. Featuring the VAF Instruments IVY® platform, these solutions collect and analyze sensor data via satellite connectivity, delivering ship and fleet performance dashboards accessible from the bridge or the shore office. By turning raw engine and propulsion data into actionable KPIs, operators can identify inefficiencies, benchmark sister ships, and make data-driven decisions that reduce operating costs.

For the maritime industry, propulsion performance monitoring has become essential to meeting IMO fuel efficiency mandates, MRV/EU reporting requirements, and CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator) compliance targets, while cutting fuel and maintenance spend by up to 20%. As vessel owners face mounting pressure to decarbonize and improve fleet-wide operational transparency, Mackay’s propulsion performance management solutions provide the digital infrastructure — cloud-based analytics, sensor integration, and remote monitoring — needed to compete in an increasingly regulated and cost-conscious shipping industry.
