The Voluntary Observing Ship Scheme – Value

▪ Data collected as part of the WMO VOS scheme is important for awareness and forecasting of (extreme) weather events, e.g.

- Storms (c.f. hurricane force wind events in the ocean)

- Wave height

- Sub-freezing air temperatures → ice accretion on vessels

▪ Data denial studies show the impact of seaborne data on the quality of numerical weather predictions (NWP); NWP aren’t perfect and depend on observational data

▪ Increased safety of life at sea for ships (commercial and leisure), their crew and cargo; in the open ocean, on the shelf and within coastal regions

- Improved forecasts support better critical decisions and avoidance of extreme weather locations (e.g. hurricane tracks)

▪ Valuable data source for climate studies

- VOS are the only source of ground truth over much of the oceans for some parameters

Importance of the data

The VOS Scheme – Scope and Extend

▪ Growing awareness within shipping industry: participating in VOS helps to improve warnings and forecasts by providing essential in situ data. Several shipping companies have raised the participation in the VOS scheme to standard procedures (i.e. issuing standing orders).

▪ Many meteorological and climate parameters are captured, e.g.

▪ While all parameters are important; already additional pressure observations would make a great difference

▪ At yearly scale, approx. 2000 regularly reporting vessels (2019 number; only <300 in an automated fashion with known instruments and metadata) participate in the VOS scheme with observations that are provided through the Global Telecommunications System (GTS).

The VOS Scheme – Motivation

▪ WMO Observing Systems Capability Analysis and Review Tool (OSCAR) requirements for air pressure measurements for global NWP:

- Threshold condition of observations (achieved for approx. green, blue, yellow areas in the map on the preceding slide)

every 500 km every 12 h

- Breakthrough target of observations (approx. green areas)every 100 km taken every 6 h

- Goal for observations every 15 km taken every 60 min

- For high–resolution NWP, the ambitious breakthrough goal isevery 10 km taken every 60 min

More measurements at higher spatial and temporal resolution required

Digital Transformation of the Maritime Industry –Merchant Fleet Automation

▪ OPEX reductions by digital solutions for the maritime industry related to, e.g.:

- Fuel and energy management, port charges, insurance, repair, personnel

▪ Improving existing platforms with new tech and in the long-term autonomous shipping → more efficient, safer and sustainable operations (e.g. CO2 emission reductions)

Data Collection from Connected Vessels – Value Propositions Env. data collection is a meaningful addition to a connected vessel system

AND a good argument for the introduction of connected vessel system

ScienceOperational Observing /

NMHS

Vessel Owners and Operators

Upscaling/Accessing a significant amount of additional platforms possible → access to the needed additional data points → improved weather forecasts and quick access to them on the vessel

Metocean data streams (incl. meta data) are easily included in advanced vessel com. sys.

Reduced efforts to extend towards more parameters and in water measurements

Step towards sustainable ocean economies; in line with growing environmental awareness; c.f. Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Dev. (c.f. industry involvement)

Connected infrastructure onboard → fewer components and reduced installation cost; reasonable to negligible (parameter dependent) cost of realization compared to other vessel specific items

Global coverage of KM and partners → reduced maintenance efforts and cost

Summary and Outlook

▪ The favorable and stimulating ecosystem of connected vessels (Kognifai, Vessel Insight) is evolving; rapid growth expected

▪ Simplifies and provides good conditions for scalable, cost-efficient and effective data collection

▪ Benefits for science, operational observing and platform owners

▪ Parameters: standard metocean (e.g. air pressure – little effort/large effect) to more sophisticated ocean observing incl. in situ/cloud data processing (e.g. echosounders).

▪ Metocean data collection on connected vessels can meet the Automated Weather Station (AWS) demands (quality, protocols, etc.) while benefitting from

- the synergetic use of vessel systems already connected (GPS, navigation parameters, comm. devices, storage, etc.)

- automated processing and analysis in the cloud

▪ KM’s global market presence (thousands of vessels) and established technology (full solution) can play a key role in significantly enlarging VOS scheme data collection
