Performance Monitoring
The scope of the company’s performance
monitoring activities could include any
aspect of the fleet/ship including voyage
analysis, hull and propeller condition,
engines condition, auxiliary machinery
utilisation and so on.
Performance monitoring invariably rely on
data collection and analysis. Depending
on how data are collected and analysed,
the monitoring systems can be divided
into:
• Manual: Systems with manual data
logging, data analysis and reporting
(for example once every 24 hours);
• Automatic: Systems with automatic
data logging, data analysis and
reporting with high sampling rates;
• Hybrid: Hybrid systems with some
manual and automatic elements.
Modern performance monitoring systems
also utilise:
• Advanced sensors and data
communication technologies;
• Ship-shore communication; and
• Big data analysis capability.
Hull performance monitoring
For hull performance monitoring, various
techniques are used including:
• Assessment of ship speed-power
curve relative to a baseline;
• Assessment of level of added
resistance relative to a baseline;
• Use of divers to visually inspect the
hull and propeller conditions.
In practice, a combination of the above
methods will be most satisfactory.
