Anglo-Eastern Univan Group (“Anglo-Eastern”), a global leader in independent ship management, has officially launched its innovative Sustainability and Performance Services (SAPS), a digital solution built to help charterers and commercial operators navigate the complexities of maritime decarbonisation, and transform vessel performance through intelligent data-driven insights. This new service marks a significant step forward in Anglo-Eastern’s dedication to leveraging technology for operational excellence, fuel efficiency, and maritime sustainability, while easing regulatory pressure and saving fuel costs.
SAPS integrates artificial intelligence with real-time vessel and voyage data to provide data-driven intelligence to optimise fuel consumption, improve route planning, and ensure compliance with evolving environmental regulations. The comprehensive platform is a direct response to the industry’s most pressing challenges, offering a powerful tool to manage the requirements of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), FuelEU, Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and other global and local regulations. It comprises seven key service categories encompassing crew training and empowerment, vessel performance monitoring, vessel inspection and optimisation, AI-enabled vessel performance forecasting, charter-specific performance contracts, paint performance and advisory, and environmental and compliance audit services.
Niraj Nanda, Chief Commercial Officer at Anglo-Eastern, remarked on the new offering, “SAPS exemplifies Anglo-Eastern’s dedication to innovation and sustainable shipping. By harnessing cutting-edge technology, we help our clients significantly reduce fuel consumption – one of the largest operational expenses – while navigating the growing complexity and cost of compliance. With regulatory requirements evolving rapidly, the cost of staying compliant now often exceeds fuel costs themselves. SAPS provides the intelligence and tools needed to manage both efficiently.”
Swapnodeep Mondal, Group Managing Director of Operations and Shared Services at Anglo-Eastern, highlighted, “This marks a significant step forward. SAPS is more than a service offering; it’s a holistic platform that brings together the deep expertise of our sustainability and performance teams with intelligent technology. This enables us to support our full base of clients and their charter parties with tailored insights and hands-on guidance that drive meaningful operational outcomes.
SAPS has already been rigorously tested across the Anglo-Eastern’s managed fleet. From 2023 to 2025, the underlying systems monitored over 800 vessels across nearly 46,000 voyages, with over 4,300 crew members trained for vessels optimisation, and over 739,000 performance reports analysed, achieving a reduction of over 700,000 MT in CO₂ emissions and over 225,000 MT in fuel usage. This has translated into cost savings of approx. USD 135 million.
The SAPS platform’s intelligent analytics empower fleet managers and crews to make informed decisions that reduce costs, enhance safety, and minimise the carbon footprint of maritime operations. Key benefits of the platform include:
- Real-time voyage optimisation based on weather, vessel performance, and operational constraints.
- Predictive fuel consumption modelling with scenario-based recommendations.
- Seamless regulatory compliance management for international maritime standards.
- User-friendly dashboards enhancing communication between onboard and shoreside teams
Vipin Achan, Head of Performance at Anglo-Eastern, affirmed the significance of SAPS, “From first mile to last tonne – we make performance more than a metric, but a habit that cultivates operational excellence.”
As a subscription-based service, Anglo-Eastern’s SAPS further strengthens its position at the forefront of digital transformation in ship management, supporting owners, charterers, and operators in meeting both commercial goals and environmental responsibilities.
