Harren Shipping Equips 30 Vessels with Advanced VESPER Performance System from Vessel Performance Solutions
Vessel Performance Solutions to Equip Harren Shipping’s Fleet with VESPER
Copenhagen, 14 November 2024 – Vessel Performance Solutions (VPS), part of the Ascenz Marorka and GTT Group, has announced a big move to make shipping smarter and more efficient. The Harren Group, a well-known family-owned shipping company, has chosen VPS’s VESPER platform to manage and monitor the performance of 30 ships in its fleet.
What VESPER Will Do for Harren’s Ships
VESPER is a cutting-edge tool that helps track ship performance. It gathers data automatically from the ship’s systems, processes it, and then creates reports. These reports are useful for checking how the ships are running, how much fuel they are using, and if they meet environmental standards. This way, Harren’s ships can work more efficiently, use less energy, and reduce harmful emissions.
Making Life Easier for the Crew
The VESPER system will make things easier for the crew on board Harren’s ships. It will cut down on paperwork and save time by automating many tasks that were once done manually. This will allow the crew to focus on the important things that need their attention, like safe sailing and other operations.
Both the workers at sea and those on land will have better access to high-quality data. This means faster and smarter decisions can be made, helping Harren’s ships to be safer and more eco-friendly.

Aiming for Sustainability and Efficiency
Jesper Dalsgaard Rasmussen, Commercial Director at VPS, shared his excitement about the partnership. He said that this is a great opportunity to help the Harren Group on its journey to better performance and sustainability. Rasmussen highlighted how VPS is focused on making digital tools user-friendly for people, not just machines, which makes this partnership valuable for Harren.
Jan-Hendrik Dammann, Deputy Fleet Manager at Harren, said that they are happy to work with VPS because of their experience and understanding of what’s needed. Harren’s main goal is to cut down on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve the energy use of their ships, and they believe VPS will help them achieve that.
