The prediction of ship motions and quiescent periods, is of paramount importance for the maritime industry. The capability to predict these events sufficiently in advance has the potential to improve the safety and efficiency of several marine operations, such as landing and take ...
In offshore maritime operations, automated systems capable of maintaining the vessel's position and heading using its own propellers and thrusters to compensate exogenous disturbances, like wind, waves, and currents, are referred to as marine dynamic positioning (DP) systems. DP ...
The maintenance of the several components of a Ship Propulsion Systems is an onerous activity, which need to be efficiently programmed by a shipbuilding company in order to save time and money. The replacement policies of these components can be planned in a Condition-Based fashi ...
The behavior and interaction of the main components of Ship Propulsion Systems cannot be easily modeled with a priori physical knowledge, considering the large amount of variables influencing them. Data-Driven Models (DDMs), instead, exploit advanced statistical techniques to bui ...

Vessels fuel consumption

A data analytics perspective to sustainability

The shipping industry is today increasingly concerned with challenges related with sustainability. CO $$:2$$ emissions from shipping, although they today contribute to less than 3% of the total anthropogenic emissions, are expected to rise in the future as a consequence of increa ...
The continuous increase of marine traffic and the entry of autonomous ships into the market is urging an improvement in safety measures to guarantee avoidance of collisions between moving objects at sea. This rise in automated maneuverability requires gaining further insight in t ...
Induction motors are fundamental components of several modern automation system, and they are one of the central pivot of the developing e-mobility era. The most vulnerable parts of an induction motor are the bearings, the stator winding and the rotor bars. Consequently, monitori ...
In this paper the authors investigate the problems of predicting the fuel consumption and of providing the best value for the trim of a vessel in real operations based on data measured by the onboard automation systems. Three different approaches for the prediction of the fuel co ...

Vessel crash stop maneuvering performance prediction

Crash stop maneuvering performance is one of the key indicators of the vessel safety properties for a shipbuilding company. Many different factors affect these performances, from the vessel design to the environmental conditions, hence it is not trivial to assess them accurately ...
Availability, reliability and economic sustainability of naval propulsion plants are key elements to cope with because maintenance costs represent a large slice of total operational expenses. Depending on the adopted strategy, impact of maintenance on overall expenses can remarka ...
The main purpose of this work is to build a data driven model to create realistic operating profiles in order to assess and compare different design solutions. The proposed approach takes advantage on the new generation of automation systems which allow gathering a large amount o ...

Ship efficiency forecast based on sensors data collection

Improving numerical models through data analytics

In this paper authors investigate the problem of predicting the fuel consumption of a vessel in real scenario based on data measured by the onboard automation systems. The goal is achieved by exploiting three different approaches: White, Black and Gray Box Models. White Box Model ...
Economic sustainability of running Naval Propulsion Plants is a key element to cope with, and maintenance costs represent a large slice of total operational expenses: last decades' approaches, based on a repairing-replacing methodology, are being trespassed by more effective appr ...
