Every shipowner understands the importance of noon reports—but few account for the true operational cost of getting them wrong. Poor-quality vessel data doesn't just create administrative headaches; it undermines nearly every data-driven initiative across the organization.
A misreported fuel consumption figure can distort voyage optimization recommendations. Inconsistent emissions data can derail decarbonization strategies, leaving operators unsure where true reduction opportunities lie. Manual inputs that conflict with sensor readings can trigger verifier flags, delaying EU ETS review and increasing compliance costs. Meanwhile, crews spend unnecessary hours copying the same information into multiple systems, increasing both workload and risk of human error.
Industry research shows that low‑quality vessel data can cost operators up to 15% in lost optimization potential—and compliance discrepancies can carry penalties reaching hundreds of thousands of euros.
Solving this challenge requires more than better training. It requires a system designed to prevent errors before they occur: automated validation, AI‑supported anomaly detection, integrations with third‑party verifiers, and most importantly, a single reporting workflow that eliminates double entry. With Orbit Reporter, standardized and validated data (based on the OVD framework) becomes the foundation for both optimization and compliance, ensuring every decision is built on solid ground.
Better reporting starts with better data. Our Vessel Report Analysis helps operators strengthen the quality of daily, noon, and voyage reports by comparing them to industry vessel reporting standards (we use the OVD standard). You’ll get a concise summary with both quantitative scoring and practical recommendations. It’s fast, lightweight, and built to support your compliance and optimization goals.
