How to optimise your maritime fleet with data

Take advantage of big data of your fleet with Wärtsilä’s Fleet Optimisation Solution (FOS). Use it to manage your maritime fleet and optimise voyages. You can boost the performance of vessels, improve route planning and ensure compliance with emission regulations.

Harness the power of cloud-based analytics, AI and intelligent automation to improve how you monitor, manage and optimise your processes on board and on shore.

  • Use fleet performance solutions to gain deeper insights into your fleet operations to enable faster route planning, enhanced fuel efficiency and real-time tracking of vessel performance.
  • Manage ship or fleet CII ratings in real time and ensure compliance with emission regulations.
  • Take advantage of voyage optimisation to optimise vessel routes and minimise fuel consumption.
  • Ensure nautical compliance, keeping your operations firmly aligned with international standards. This helps you avoid legal and financial consequences and maintain stakeholder trust.

FOS bridges the gap between onboard and onshore operations

Bridge the gap between ship and shore, improve efficiency and build deeper insight with Wärtsilä’s Fleet Optimisation Solution (FOS). FOS is a complete digital platform that integrates navigational, technical and operational data.

Benefits onboard

On-board personnel will appreciate the following five possibilities:

  1. Faster route planning – in minutes.
  2. The system identifies the safest, most efficient route based on:
    - the latest navigational charts
    - built-in weather optimisation, and
    - advanced fuel-efficiency algorithms.
  3. Automatic alerts draw attention to unusual ship behaviour or anomalies.
  4. Ship-to-shore reporting is simpler and faster, with most of the data already pre-filled.
  5. ETA information shared with connected ports enables just in time arrivals.

Benefits onshore

Operations onshore will benefit most from four possibilities:

  1. Track vessels in real time from any location.
  2. Access vessel operational data for post-voyage analytics.
  3. Improve voyage performance management and make better decisions with access to real-time vessel data including charter party compliance alerts.
  4. Save time with automatic stakeholder and statutory reports.

 

Fleet performance solutions

Take advantage of analytics, AI and intelligent automation: you can monitor, manage and optimise onboard and onshore processes. The system uses navigational, technical and operational data together and gives you deeper insights into your fleet operations.

You can speed up route planning, enhance fuel efficiency and track vessel performance in real-time.

Hull and machinery performance

The Hull and machinery module in FOS helps keep your vessel operating optimally. It monitors the status of the vessel’s hull and propeller and the condition of the engines. You can use this data to optimise engine performance, lubrication, and maintenance activities – and identify areas for improvement.

The advanced algorithms in the Hull and machinery module will notice deviations from normal system behaviour and you will get a notification.

You can also keep track of the vessel’s performance: for example, follow the fuel consumption data while sailing.

Your benefits

  • Save fuel and price vessels correctly
  • Reduce maintenance effort
  • Improve scheduling
  • Identify areas for improvement for maximum ROI

Key features

  • Hull and propeller degradation assessment
  • Engine and system usage optimisation
  • Engine condition assessment
  • Lube optimisation
  • Virtual fuel consumption modelling

 

 

Voyage optimisation

Use cutting-edge algorithms and live data to chart the most efficient routes for your vessels. Make well-informed decisions, maximise fuel savings and track voyage performance against the planned route. Wärtsilä’s solutions help you to do all this by factoring in weather forecasts, safety guidelines and commercial efficiency.

 

Voyage Optimiser tool

The Voyage Optimiser tool uses weather data, safety parameters and commercial efficiency considerations to plan the most optimised voyage and route for your vessel.

It uses advanced algorithms to optimise vessel routes and fuel consumption. It will also monitor the progress of your voyage against the plan.
