Fusion of engine and vessel performance evaluation
Who we are
2018Gold Bite Award with
2014 2016Selected by
for the development of their on-boardEngine Diagnostic System EDS
FoundedAthens and Piraeus
Greece
• Engine performance assessment & fault diagnosis
• Vessel performance evaluation
At we specialize in Performance Management Solutions for the maritime industry.
We use Simulation models, Data analytics & Machine-learning to provide:
For the technical teams in the shore office
providing full overview and assessment
of engines in their vessels and fleet.
Engine Performance Management Suite
Engine Hyper Cube®
Based on an advanced thermodynamic model, calibrated with engine Shop tests and validated with Sea trials.
Core technology
We create a“Digital-Twin”
For each specific engine
The Digital-Twin can provide the “reference” values of all performance parameters (how the engine should be) at any operating condition.

Objectives - engine performance optimization
Sound engine availability and reliability
Energy efficiency Fuel economy Emissions control
Compliance to forthcoming regulations
4
Data accuracy
Operational data accuracy Validation in the system Manual screening in office Training the ship staff and Vessel Managers Measuring equipment – torsion meters, energy meters, flowmeters Reliability of the measuring equipment – servicing and calibration Inline sensors, auto-data loggers - Minimising human intervention
Reference data accuracy Sea trial / shop test / model test reports Updating of the changes – Engine de-rating, sea trials after upgrading
5
Data processing
ISO corrections of monthly performance data
Analyses Comparison against reference data Trend plotting and analyses Alerts for outlying parameters Comparison between similar vessels with same engine configurations
System generated preliminary e-mail reports – for promptness
Guidance on rectifying the abnormal conditions
Apt overview for each level – VM, FGM, Head of business unit

Key Performance Indicators
Performance Report KPIs ME Specific Fuel Oil Consumption (SFOC) Deviation of ME Power demand at reference conditions (%MCR and laden state) Maximum load to which the AE is loaded
Daily Performance Indicators ME Specific Cylinder Oil Consumption (SCOC) Temperatures – Exhaust Gas, Under Piston Space etc. AE Electrical load vs benchmark load for different conditions
Voyage / Periodic Performance indicators Energy Efficiency Operating Index (EEOI) AE utilization (average running hours per day) Average crankcase oil consumption (ltrs./day)

Improving efficiency - IMO GHG targets
EEXI improvement Analyses of ME operating profile Practical extent of engine de-rating / Engine Power Limitation SFOC improvement - T/C auto cut out or upgrade, Auto-tuning, Eco Cam, Eco Nozzle Alternate solutions –Waste Heat recovery, post-swirl / pre-swirl devices, propeller
redesign, rudder modification, bulbous bow modification
Carbon Intensity Index improvement Close monitoring and control of Engine performance KPIs EEOI co-relation with vessel’s DWT utilisation – To drive efficient commercial operation Analyses of AE operating profile for improving operational efficiency Auxiliary power solutions – battery power pack, Variable Frequency Drives Planning and scheduling cargo and ballast operations optimally

VESSEL OPTIMIZATION
PARIS DASHBOARD / FLEET VESSEL POSITIONS AROUND THE WORLD
OPTIMIZATION- WHY AND HOW?
• BIWEEKLY DETAILED MAIN ENGINE PERFORMANCE REPORTS FROM THE VESSELS.• THE DATA IS UPDATED IN A STANDARD FORMAT AND REVIEWED BY OFFICE AND MAKERS (MHI , EGICS
YANMAR SHIP SUPPORTER).• BASIS ANALYSIS FEEDBACK IS SEND TO THE VESSELS
MAIN ENGINE AND AUX ENGINES -PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
CASE STUDY 1 :PROPELLER MODIFICATION
• THREE SISTER VESSELS FROM THE SAME SHIPYARD , BUILT SAME YEAR, SAME DEADWEIGHT
• VESSEL PERFORMAMCE OF ONE VESSEL IS LOWER THAN THE OTHER IN TERMS OF SLIP, SPEED AND FUEL CONSUMPTION
• PROPELLER BLADES TRIMMED
• RESULT: THE LIGHT RUNNING MARGIN INCREASED AND THE OPTIMUM FUEL CONSUMTPION AND SPEED WAS ACHEIVED
PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION MEASURESCASE STUDIES
PROPELLER BLADE TIPS MODIFICATION OUTLINE POWER CURVE AFTER MODIFCIATION OF PROPELLER
CASE STUDY 2 :OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE BASIS WEATHER CONDITIONS
• VESSELS ARE ENROLLED IN THE WNI PLATFROM. THIS PROVIDES ON A DAILY BASIS FEEDBACK ON THE SPEED, CONSUMPTION AND WETAHER CONDITIONS
• WEATHER CONDITIONS AND OCEAN CURRENTS ARE ANALYSED IN THE OFFICE AND APPROPRIATE INSTRUCTIONS ARE SEND TO THE MASTER.
• IN CASE ANY TYPHOONS OR LOWS ARE DEVELOPING IN THE AREA, TIMELY ALERTS ARE SEND TO THE VESSEL DEFINING ROUTE DIVERSIONS OR SPEED ALTERATIONS ( STOP / DRIFT )
• RESULT: VESSELS HAVE ACHIEVED THE DESIRED RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE DURING THEIR VOGAYAGE
CASE STUDY 3:TRIM & DRAFT OPTIMIZATION
The trim and/or draft of the ship affects the hull resistance and hence the fuel consumption. By actively planning cargo loading and thereby optimizing the trim and draft, one can save fuel and reduce the emissions accordingly.
Trim vs Speed table for a Post Panamax vessel built at Oshima Yard
Red Cells – Indicate Trims which are unfavorable to the vessel’s speed and ME consumption (More than 2.0 % rise in BHP needed for same speed)
Yellow Cells – Indicate Trims with an increase below 2% in Fuel consumption
Green Cells - Indicate trims which are favorable for speed vs ME consumption characteristics
