Wialon controls cargo ships fueling in the Far East of Russia
Every once in a while, Wialon partners are contacted by the companies that face serious problems caused by minor inaccuracies in calculations or hardware operations. Sakhalin Shipping Company is the one that knows firsthand the cost of a seemingly insignificant measurement error when it comes to hundreds of tons of fuel.
Minor inaccuracy turns into a big problem
Sakhalin Shipping Company delivers goods across the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan. The company’s fleet consists of fifteen vessels.
SASCO ANIVA is one of the shipping company’s container ships. Its tank holds more than 240 tons of mazut. When it comes to such a large amount of fuel, even the smallest measurement inaccuracy can result in serious financial losses.
The client used to control the fuel amount with the help of an ordinary counter and a measuring stick. This measuring method implied significant measurement errors that sometimes caused a large fuel overrun. The shipping company needed a solution that could read fuel parameters as accurately as possible and prevent overpayments.
