Top Glory Marine Launches Digital Portal to Simplify Ship Waste Reporting
Cubierto por 3 fuentesPublicado
Top Glory Marine (TGM) has launched the Vessel Portal, a web platform designed to save time for ship managers and crews by simplifying the way onboard waste disposal information is reported and processed. The system offers a direct online channel for submitting waste disposal requests and weekly stock reports.
By consolidating ship waste information into a single online system, the portal reduces email traffic and the need for follow-up questions, while giving TGM the data it needs to process disposal requests faster. Vessels can submit waste information frequently along with their itinerary, allowing the company to assess disposal options in advance and preventing managers from having to arrange collection on short notice or at a less suitable port.
Silke Fehr, Managing Director of Top Glory Marine, explained that the administrative burden ship managers and crews already face is considerable, and that waste reporting should not add more workload than necessary. According to Fehr, the goal was to make the process faster and simpler, so that the vessel enters the information directly and the company has what it needs to start handling the request.
Part of a broader digital strategy
According to Splash 247, the new portal adds to TGM's increasingly digital waste management operation, which already includes the Enviro Fleet Cloud system, providing shore-based teams with records of landed waste at both fleet and vessel level, including MARPOL documentation, invoices, cost data and configurable indicators. The company also recently partnered with NautilusLog to digitalize the process from the vessel side, enabling crews to log MARPOL waste streams via a mobile app.
Splash 247 added that Top Glory Marine, founded in Germany in 2013, coordinates the disposal of waste generated by ships through a global network of port reception facility providers, and that its website lists more than 400 vessels serviced regularly and around 250 registered providers, in addition to its waste management services and those of the Chinese Ship Pollution Response Organisation.
