Confident Compliance.
Connected Intelligence.
SMART Insight transforms oil-in-water compliance data into real-time fleet visibility, inspection
readiness and proactive
operational control.
Part of the Rivertrace Connected platform, SMART Insight integrates directly with SMART BILGE+ systems to automatically capture, organise and analyse MEPC.107(49) data securely, accurately and in real time
Compliance Is No Longer Just a Record-Keeping Exercise
We understand that ship operators face increasing scrutiny around:
- Oil Record Book accuracy
- MEPC.107(49) compliance
- Data traceability
- Port State Control inspections
- Inconsistent manual logging
- Manual transcription creates risk
- Fragmented vessel-level data limits visibility
- Reactive compliance wastes time and increases exposure
- What’s missing isn’t more data.
- It’s visibility, structure and intelligence.
A Centralised Compliance & Insight Dashboard
SMART Insight is a cloud-based dashboard within the Rivertrace Connected ecosystem.
It automatically aggregates critical operational and compliance data from connected SMART BILGE+ and oily water separator systems into one secure, intuitive platform.
Automatically Captured Data Includes:
- Oil-in-water concentration (ppm)
- Overboard flow rate data
- GPS position and timestamps
- Oil Content Monitor (OCM) and Oily Water Separator (OWS) system status and alarms
- Structured logs aligned with IMO / MEPC.107(49) requirements
All data is securely stored and accessible to authorised onboard and shore-based users this removes manual duplication and creates a single source of compliance truth.
Inspection-Ready Data
SMART Insight supports — not replaces — Oil Record Book procedures It helps you:
- Reduce manual transcription errors
- Improve consistency between systems and recorded entries
- Maintain time-stamped audit trails
- Prepare confidently for inspections and audits
By ensuring data integrity at source, it reduces discrepancies that can trigger extended inspections.
SMART Insight is available on a subscription access basis.
Fleet-Wide Visibility & Benchmarking
Move beyond single-vessel monitoring and identify broader operational patterns.
SMART Insight allows operators to:
- View individual vessels or entire fleets
- Compare performance across ships
- Identify anomalies and recurring issues
- Benchmark discharge performance trends against fleet averages
- Detect training or procedural inconsistencies
- Support standardised best practice across the fleet
- Identify recurring inefficiencies
This creates a feedback loop between compliance data and operational performance improvement.
Compliance data becomes a management tool, not just a regulatory obligation.
Trend Insight & Proactive Decision-Making
Built-in analytics help interpret large volumes of compliance data
SMART Insight:
- Identifies long-term performance drift
- Highlights emerging patterns
- Supports proactive maintenance planning
- Reduces the risk of non-compliance before it occurs
It turns raw discharge data into operational intelligence.
Beyond Compliance: Unlocking Operational Efficiency
SMART Insight does more than organise compliance data.
It transforms regulatory monitoring into a strategic operational asset.
By centralising high-resolution discharge data, system status, and trend analytics, SMART Insight enables measurable efficiency gains across fleet operations, while significantly reducing environmental compliance risk
Supporting Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM)
Traditional maintenance relies on fixed schedules.
SMART Insight supports condition-based monitoring by providing continuous performance insight into:
- Oil-in-water trends
- System alarm frequency
- Operational drift
This allows technical teams to:
- Detect early indicators of separator or OCM performance deviation
- Plan maintenance based on performance data, not assumptions
- Reduce unnecessary servicing
- Minimise unplanned downtime
Compliance data becomes an early-warning diagnostic layer — not just a reporting requirement.
Strengthening Port Inspection Preparedness
Port State Control inspections increasingly focus on data traceability and discharge history.
SMART Insight provides:
- Structured, time-stamped discharge records
- Clear audit trails aligned with MEPC.107(49) expectations
- Rapid access to historical discharge data
- Improved consistency between onboard records and system logs
This supports:
- Faster inspection response
- Reduced questioning and secondary scrutiny
- Lower risk of delays or detention
When inspection data is structured, accessible and verified, confidence increases on both sides of the table.
The Strategic Impact
SMART Insight significantly reduces the risk of non-compliance with marine environmental regulations while simultaneously enabling increases in operational efficiency.
It allows ship operators to move from:
Compliance becomes measurable. Performance becomes visible. Risk becomes manageable.
Built by Compliance Specialists. Not Software Developers.
SMART Insight is developed in association with Rivertrace — a global leader in oil-in-water monitoring technology.

Turn Compliance Data Into Compliance Confidence
Frequently asked questions
What is SMART Insight?
SMART Insight is a cloud-based compliance and performance platform that automatically collects, stores and analyses oil-in-water discharge data from connected SMART BILGE+ systems.
It provides a centralised dashboard for monitoring MEPC.107(49) compliance, supporting Oil Record Book processes, and enabling fleet-wide operational insight.
How does SMART Insight help with MEPC.107(49) compliance?
SMART Insight captures and organises all relevant discharge data in line with IMO MEPC.107(49) requirements, including oil content (ppm), flow rates, GPS position and system status.
By creating structured, time-stamped records and audit trails, it improves data accuracy, supports inspection readiness and reduces the risk of discrepancies during Port State Control inspections.
Does SMART Insight replace the Oil Record Book (ORB)?
No. SMART Insight is designed to support, not replace, existing Oil Record Book procedures.
SMART Insight ensures data integrity at source and so it improves the accuracy, consistency and traceability of the data used to complete ORB entries, helping reduce manual transcription errors and simplifying audit preparation.
