OpenOcean STUDIO – the world’s leading maritime platform.
Voyage Monitor
(now Operational voyage management) –
part of this platform. A single source of truth for all voyage-related information. Ensure operational efficiency and effectiveness.
My role
- End-to-end design
- User research
- Information architecture
- Design system: Charts, Compass, KPIs
- Prototyping
Improvements
- Decision time: minutes → seconds
- App-switching: 7 systems → 1 dashboard
- Calculations: manually → automated
Problem
Fleet’s operational managers at maritime companies live in app-switching. They'll have one browser tab open to check fuel consumption, another for performance metrics, a third for compliance data. Half the data was calculated manually in spreadsheets.
It was error-prone and exhausting.
We incorporated progressive disclosure for all data they need to monitor their fleets.
Solution
A unified dashboard. One screen shows everything users need: real-time vessel data, performance against benchmarks, weather context, compliance status.
Metrics are grouped by vessel component: engine, propellers, weather, charter party. Each shows a status marker: gray (normal), yellow (caution), red (action).
Users scan in 5 seconds. When something deviates, they click for historical context and weather data.
"Why did this happen?" → click for details.
The process
- Talked to the people who should using it
I worked with a Researcher and interviewed operational managers and captains. We wanted to understand what they actually do during the day.
- Figured out what data matters
Read through technical protocols to understand why one metric matters for compliance but another matters for fuel optimization and a third is just clutter.
- Crafting data system
Data from charts should provide confidence. If data is missing, representation should show it.
Market impact
The Voyage Monitoring design became 90POE's core platform modules.
Real-time vessel performance and consumption data flow directly into commercial decision-making, with live P&L statements reflecting every operational change.
What started as a single dashboard for one customer is now infrastructure. And my favourite project I have designed 🌊.
