SILJA SYMPHONY goes digital with nauticAi Log electronic logbooks

Tallink Grupp has selected the nauticAi Log™ type approved electronic record book for its fleet of ships, with SILJA SYMPHONY as the first one to go paperless. The adoption of the electronic logbook on SILJA SYMPHONY comes after a thorough 6-month trial period, during which time the system has been fine-tuned in close cooperation with the ship’s crew to fulfil the various logging needs of both the company and the Swedish flag. Among key advantages of the system is the automated collection of EU-MRV, DCS and CII emission reporting data.

“We switched to paperless engine logbooks here on SILJA SYMPHONY from 1 June and feel that this is a good step towards even more modern and digitalised operations as well as our overall sustainability goal of going paperless. In general, we see that a digital log has both pros and cons, although the pros clearly outweigh the cons. For example, the electronic Oil Record Book (ORB) is clearly better than the paper equivalent, both in legibility and in the ease of getting it signed by the Master. All in all, I feel that the implementation of the new digital logbook has been going well and the customer support during the process has been excellent!” – Marcus Åkerholm, Chief Engineer of SILJA SYMPHONY, said.

Tallink is already trialling the nauticAi logbooks also on its vessel BALTIC PRINCESS already and plans to roll out the digital solution across its fleet in the near future.
