Dynamic energy monitoring for ships

According to ESRG, energy surveys currently undertaken by shipping companies, despite being provided by well-known and highly experienced organisations, normally only provide information on the operation and energy efficiency of the vessel at that particular time. Such reports can lose their relevance over time as conditions change.

ESRG says that these reports are “brought to life” within the OstiaEdge platform, making them relevant to changing conditions. OstiaEdge is configured to monitor and analyse specific energy improvement opportunities, collecting data from existing systems and sensors, without any additional burden on the crew. ESRG’s engineers can then establish baselines and configure OstiaEdge to enable real-time monitoring of the areas with the highest value potential without any manual analysis.

Typical key opportunities for energy saving include propulsion engine performance, hull/propeller performance, vessel speed decisions, generator performance and auxiliary operations. ESRG says that OstiaEdge, combined with a robust energy survey, will help the owner and operator focus on the highest value opportunities for their specific situation.
