Foreship applies performance monitoring to ship design

摘要

In voyage planning software, systems installed on ships contain a baseline performance model used to make recommendations about planned speed and weather routing. This model is adjusted over time using measured data from the performance monitoring system itself, in a learning process that brings continuous improvements to an individual ship's voyage planning capability. For the last three years, Foreship has been building the capability to use hindcast weather and reference ship performance databases to support realistic voyage simulations for new ship designs. Measured operational data is used to tune the analytical models being applied at the ship design stage.
