Limited data requirements
An IMO number is all that is needed to create a general model of your vessel. With more detailed information, higher accuracy can be realised.
Solutions
We build physics-based digital ship models. These models factor in environmental conditions and specific ship characteristics.
Our Digital Ships
increasing accuracy
Our models are all about representing reality at sea as accurately as possible. We have over a decade of experience in modelling vessels and a precise understanding of the ship characteristics that influence fuel consumption. By considering all relevant factors, from hull shape to engine type to energy savings device, we create a digital model of your ship.
Applications
Voyage optimization
Having the wind in the back, even without sails, or sailing in the direction of the current reduces emissions without requiring any investment on board the vessel. Voyage optimization tools are used to maximize voyage efficiency while still ensuring timely arrival at the destination. Without any changes to the vessel. Our models can be integrated with your voyage optimization and vessel management tools to ensure the vessel’s behavior is accurately reflected.
Comparing Energy Saving Technologies
There are many options for energy saving on board vessels, ranging from wind-assist solutions to different hull coatings or air lubrication. We have an extensive database of Energy Saving Technologies (ESTs) and can help you by modeling the specific ESTs for your vessel. By running several alternative scenarios to predict fuel reduction on the specific vessel and taking into account the environmental conditions on the expected routes, we support you to make the best business decision.
Calculating achieved fuel reductions
How do you know how much fuel reduction is actually achieved after installing Energy Saving Technologies (EST) on board a vessel? We can help by modeling your vessel under alternate configurations, both with and without the EST. Using the weather and fuel consumption data of actual voyages, combined with virtual voyages by the Digital Ship, the models can be used to calculate the achieved fuel reduction.
Features
Performance at sea
We can easily calculate the fuel consumption for any requested sea state or weather condition.
Validated modelling
Our models have proven to achieve over 95% accuracy when validated against actual voyage consumption data.
Dynamic Updates
Optional monitoring data integration provides continuous feedback on fuel burn and other monitoring data.
