The scalable Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers platform developed by Scalefocus received the 2024 Gold Stevie Award® in the Energy Industry Innovation of the Year category and struck gold at the Globee® Awards for Energy & Utilities Disruptors, 2024. These recognitions reflect the company's role as a primary energy innovator for its clients.

The platform for LNG portfolio optimization and vessel nomination replaces inefficient processes, enabling automation and a 360° view of the voyage's profitability.

The LNG Leadtime tool addresses critical challenges faced by a leading international energy company in managing the growing demands of LNG trading and risk management. It replaces inefficient Excel spreadsheets and manual processes, providing a scalable, fit-for-purpose technology solution that enhances operational efficiency and decision-making capabilities.

Key features of the platform include:

• Optimized LNG portfolio management
• 360° view of each voyage's profitability
• Process automation and centralized data repository
• Detailed intelligence on costs, vessel availability, routes, and delivery windows
• Nomination functionality for accurate representation of LNG business processes
• Vessel estimation for profit maximization
• Logistical support for managing LNG vessels and cargo

The solution streamlines complex workflows, eliminates errors in position reporting, and provides rapid insights into the constantly changing LNG trading landscape. It calculates shipment details, tracks carrier routes, and supports contractual obligations related to delivery windows, ports, vessels, quantity, and LNG quality. Based on our nomination formulas and streamlined database, the Leadtime tool now plays a central data repository role. It could be used in other use cases, like In-tank optimization and automated shipping scheduling. The final product optimized the portfolio of the client for vessel nomination, and the 360° view of the profitability became more efficient. Data tracking was centralized, and many new functions supported voyage planning. According to preliminary estimates, the latest tool and its integration as a central data repository for other vital LNG systems will bring cost savings of up to a few million euros per year. 

This innovative solution demonstrates Scalefocus's ability to deliver cutting-edge technology that addresses complex challenges in the energy sector, solidifying its position as a leader in developing bespoke digital platforms for global industry leaders.
