Introducing Shell Marine Sensor Service

A new solution designed to help shipping crews provide proactive protection for a wider range of critical equipment and improve vessel uptime through proactive maintenance is here.

SMSS key benefits

Shell Marine has developed Shell Marine Sensor Service to join its portfolio of technical solutions. This service will provide your crews with:

Helps prevent failures with real-time oil condition information

Optimise oil changes and top-ups

Proactively manage oil and equipment condition

Shore-based trend monitoring

Easy to deploy with two small components

Up to 50% reduction in oil consumption for a high-speed engine operator

How it works

Built for the demands of marine environments, Shell Marine Sensor Service is a simple two-component, plug-and-play system that provides crews with real-time onboard alerts through continuous sensor monitoring. In addition, weekly data readouts are combined with laboratory analysis, enabling Shell’s experts to interpret trends, flag anomalies such as water ingress or degradation, and recommend corrective actions.

Futuristic digital music plays

Opening scene

The video starts on a drone shot of a vessel at sea; we pan around the vessel and graphics depict digital signals around the vessel.

Voice over

At sea, the smallest signal can mean everything.

A subtle shift. A quiet warning. The difference between smooth sailing and costly failure.

Animated sequence

We move to a blue control room on a vessel and see a spinning 3D model of the sensor, labelled sensor and surrounded by circular graphics followed by the text smart, pro-active.

A 3D model of the monitor appears in circular graphics at the centre of the screen.

Footage sequence

We now see 3 technical experts consulting at a computer.

Now we see a technical expert consulting with a customer on vessel.

We see two mariners in the bridge, both in PPE and one speaking into a walkie talkie, with the text avoid failure.

We see the left side of a vessel sailing in rough waters and the text optimise performance.

We see the bow of a red vessel crashing through waves and the text extend engine life.

Voice over

..Shell technical expertise that helps you avoid failure, optimise performance, and extend engine life.

Animated sequence

We transition to traditional animation style. The blue screen has light blue digital graphics and 4 animated vessels on screen – Why it matters animates in the middle of screen.

The white screen has blue digital graphics the stat and a male with a hard hat and spanner with a warning triangle behind him.

Voice over

Why it matters: 56% of marine casualties are caused by machinery failure.

Animated sequence

We swipe to the male speaking to a female in hard hat and Shell high vis and tablet in hand - he gives a thumbs up, behind them the digital graphics slowly animate.

Voice over

But with the right information alongside expert advice, risk can be mitigated, and confidence restored.

Animated sequence

The blue screen has light blue digital graphics and 4 animated vessels on screen – what it does- animates in the middle of screen.

Voice over

What it does:

Animated sequence

An illustration of the monitor spins on to screen and the text real-time data, trend monitoring and event alerts animates on.

Voice over

Real-time data on oil condition, trend monitoring and event alerts.

Animated sequence

The blue screen has light blue digital graphics and 4 animated vessels on screen – installation- animates in the middle of screen.

Voice over

Installation? Effortless.

Animated sequence

The white screen has blue digital graphics and a blue model of an engine. The sensor model animates in a yellow circle on the right side of screen, followed by the text: Sensor, fitted to oil pipe, Fitted to sump. The display animates on the spot in a blue circle replacing the sensor. The text display, pre-programmed, own wifi hotspot appear on screen.

Voice over

Two compact components:

A sensor fitted to the oil piping or sump

A pre-programmed display with its own Wi-Fi hotspot

Animated sequence

We see a blue control room with a 3D model of the display spinning central on the screen and the words Plug in. Power up. Monitor. Scroll behind.

Voice over

Plug in. Power up. Monitor.

Animated sequence

The display moves to the centre of the screen and Oil status, oil quality, temperature and event warning are labelled using text and a white line to the location.

Voice over

The display shows:

Oil status

Condition

Temperature

Event warnings

It flags risks early- giving you time to act, not react.

Footage & animated sequence

We move to a scene of the sea with multiple vessels visible and surrounded by circular graphic.

We see text and icon for Sensor data, Shell LubeAnalyst laboratory results and results, advice and recommendations.

Voice over

But it’s more than just data. Sensor readings are combined with Shell’s LubeAnalyst laboratory results and the deep expertise of Shell’s technical team.

Footage & animated sequence

We see a bulk carrier in the sea with data graphics animating around it – oil pressure, oil temperature, Engine RPM and the text optimise maintenance schedules.

Voice over

Together, they deliver powerful insights to help you: optimise maintenance schedules

Footage

We see the hull of a red bulk carrier moving through blue waters with data animating around and the text minimise lubricant consumption.

Voice over

Minimise lubricant consumption

Footage

A beautiful sunset scene at sea – showing the ripples in the sea from a vessel sailing and the text reduce unplanned downtime.

Voice over

Reduce unplanned downtime

Animated sequence

We revert to traditional animation; the blue screen has light blue digital graphics and 4 animated vessels on screen – the result- animates in the middle of screen.

Voice over

The result?

Animated sequence

The pecten animates on scree to reveal a white screen that has blue digital graphics and a fleet of vessels on screen.

Voice over

The result? Smarter decisions. Longer equipment life. Greater confidence at sea.

Animated sequence

We see 3D models of the sensor and monitor rotating in front of blue digital graphics.
