Kongsberg Digital is relaunching its utility for vessel and fleet optimization, Vessel Performance, for offshore vessel operations. The new model of Vessel Performance supplies enhanced onboard determination assist by means of an improved and extra user-friendly interface. By optimizing working engines and decreasing extra gear utilization, Vessel Performance assists the crew in decreasing gas consumption and upkeep prices.
The Vessel Performance information can be shared in real-time with onshore personnel. The accessible information and evaluation enhance operational consciousness for the customers, making it simpler to detect the price saving alternatives, which is often a time-consuming process within the offshore business because of the complexity of the techniques onboard.
“Olympic Subsea has been using Vessel Performance since 2021,” says Runar Stave, CTO at Fosnavaag, Norway, headquartered Olympic Subsea. “With Vessel Performance, our crew onboard has been in a position to monitor and take speedy motion with the intention to scale back working hours, gas consumption, and emissions. This has led to greatest practices and considerably higher consciousness by the crew for Smarter, Safer and Greener operations. With the brand new performance, we’ll enhance and optimize our operations much more by way of price, effectivity, and sustainability.
“In the offshore industry, our customers struggle to discover and implement best practices for vessel optimization across the fleet in their busy workdays. Earlier, the decision-making on how to run the vessel has been largely left to the crew on board, and the available tools have been demanding too much from the users. There is no longer a lack of data, but a lack of clear guidance towards the owner’s office and onboard crew,” says Anders Bryhni, vp at Kongsberg Digital.
“Based on interactions with our valued customers, we have addressed these challenges and aim to be an even better partner for decision support towards speed and power for the various operational conditions. The new and improved version of Vessel Performance is an integrated application on the Vessel Insight infrastructure, and we believe this is a step change in the goal towards smarter and greener vessel operations,” Bryhni says.
