ABS Nautical Systems enables next-generation vessel performance
ABS, a leading provider of classification services to the global marine and offshore industries, today unveiled ABS Nautical Systems Vessel Performance – a comprehensive software solution developed in response to continued demand for tools that improve vessel efficiency, reduce costs and facilitate emissions reporting and compliance.
The NS Vessel Performance tool is designed to improve efficiency and control costs through the application of a ship-specific performance model and tracking of key performance indicators (KPIs), while also supporting environmental compliance and reporting, including the European Union’s Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) regulation for CO2 emissions.
NS Vessel Performance leverages a ship-specific performance model based on vessel design characteristics. The model delivers performance predictions using sea trial data and other relevant information to establish performance baselines. Combining model output with the visualization and analysis of vessel operations data improves decision-making.
Based on the performance model and analyses of regularly captured data, KPIs are established within the tool to enable decision support ashore and on board the vessel. This results in operational profiles for fleet-wide comparison of operational efficiency, maintenance strategies and conformance to charter party requirements. Consumption and emissions calculations enable compliance to environmental regulations, including MRV, and contribute to an active Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan.
