Fuel Performance System FuelMACS®
Based on the SeaMACS IAS platform, FuelMACS® incorporates additional functionality for fuel and energy performance management. It offers a valuable SEEMP tool to ship owners, allowing them to monitor and compare their vessel's or fleet's performance fuel performance in real-time and/or based on historical values. Characterised by high scalability and flexibility, FuelMACS® allows for definition of vessel-specific indicators - one of the crucial points when evaluating vessel performance over time. The system is designed according to the provisions of the MARPOL convention, which requires a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) to be development and Energy Efficiency Operational Indicators (EEOI) to be established for all vessels.
FuelMACS® Features
- Fuel consumption mgmt.
- Vessel performance mgmt.
- Engine performance mgmt.
- Hull performance
Fuel consumption management is based on fuel flow measurement. Data for both instant and total fuel consumption is provided - e.g. total per hour, total per voyage. Emissions and fuel costs are reported per engine, per data, in total and accumulated. |
|
For vessel performance management, vessel speed is included in order to calculate fuel usage in litre per nautical mile (l/nm). |
|
For engine performance management, data for engine power is included in order to calculate fuel consumption in grams per kilowatt hour. |
|
The hull performance management measures shaft torque/power versus speed over time. Once the system is set up for the respective vessel, a reference curve is created. The system is then able to detect speed loss over time by performing analysis of vessel speed versus shaft effect. |
