In a world where technology drives progress, maritime operations are no exception. The demand for real-time information, seamless reporting, and integrated monitoring systems is ever-increasing. Phoenix One’s NEST Monitoring System addresses these needs with a cutting-edge, cloud-based platform designed specifically for larger vessels.

By centralising onboard data, NEST provides unmatched oversight, enhanced safety, and seamless convenience for crew members, fleet managers, and vessel owners alike.

Your vessel’s online monitoring platform

NEST is Phoenix One’s proprietary cloud solution that securely stores all collected vessel data, neatly archived for easy access and continuous reference. This robust system offers real-time insights that empower crews to optimize operational efficiency, enhance safety protocols, and streamline vessel management. Whether you’re onboard or miles away, NEST keeps your vessel connected, with critical information just a touch away.

Centralised monitoring for enhanced safety and efficiency

Phoenix One’s NEST integrates all existing PLC, network, or serial data monitoring systems into a single, centralised platform. Data is stored locally and instantly transmitted to the cloud. Unlike traditional Vessel Data Recorders (VDR), NEST is enhanced to handle up to 250,000 data points in real-time. Tailored for vessels over 20 meters, NEST consolidates data from essential onboard systems—including tank levels, generators, electrical networks, and Battery Management Systems (BMS)—providing a clear and comprehensive view of vessel performance.

Key features of Phoenix One’s NEST monitoring system

  • Anytime, anywhere access

NEST offers seamless access to critical vessel data from any device—laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Whether you’re onboard, at the dock, or at sea, you can monitor both historical and real-time performance metrics. Fleet managers gain a comprehensive overview without the need for direct contact with individual vessels.

  • Effortless maintenance

By archiving historical data with a resolution as precise as 250 milliseconds, NEST supports proactive maintenance. Detailed records help identify potential issues early, reducing the need for urgent corrective action. This ensures your vessel remains in peak condition, allowing for performance trend analysis and efficient service planning.

  • Comprehensive data storage

All collected data is securely stored within the NEST cloud system, providing easy access to extensive operational information. With up to three years of data retention, managers and crew can track historical trends, share updates, and coordinate actions swiftly and effectively.

  • Real-time monitoring and alerts

NEST continuously monitors vessel systems and provides immediate notifications via phone or email in the event of significant events or malfunctions. From Wi-Fi connectivity issues to critical system failures, timely alerts help you address potential disruptions before they escalate.

How does Phoenix One’s NEST monitoring system work?

  • Identifying vessel requirements

The process begins with a detailed assessment of the vessel’s specific data monitoring needs.

  • Onboard survey

Our engineers conduct an onboard survey to determine how best to integrate the vessel’s existing monitoring and communication systems with NEST.

  • Cost estimation

Based on the number of monitoring points and data resolution required, a cost estimate is provided. For example, storing 100 data points at a 250ms resolution is approximately four times more expensive than storing them at a 1-second resolution.

  • Onboard installation

The NEST system is then deployed onboard, including all necessary hardware installation. A stable internet connection is required for continuous data transmission.

  • Integration and activation

Once integrated with the NEST cloud platform, real-time monitoring and data analytics are activated. The duration of this step depends on the complexity of the vessel’s onboard systems and the integration process.

  • Unmatched flexibility and control

NEST is compatible with a wide range of protocols used by leading manufacturers such as Siemens, Schneider, Wago, and Beckhoff. 

This flexibility allows for comprehensive monitoring across all critical vessel operations—from engine performance to fuel consumption—giving you complete visibility and control.

Compliance with IMO Cybersecurity Guidelines

Phoenix One’s NEST system complies with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) cybersecurity standards, ensuring your vessel’s data remains secure and protected from external threats. The platform is continuously updated to meet and exceed industry security requirements, safeguarding the integrity of your sensitive information.
