A standardised data set for noon vessel reports developed by a group of operators and managers makes digital use of the core ship operating information easier to analyse and share.

The Standardised Vessel Dataset (SVD) for Noon Reports has been launched by the Smart Maritime Council following a proof-of-concept project involving vessel managers OSM Maritime, Thome Group and V.Ships.

The project involved working from a standardised list created by the council with Stolt Tankers.
