Advanced Vessel Performance Analysis
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & OPERATIONAL SOLUTIONS
VESPER software ensures operational efficiency by offering daily vessel monitoring, automated data processing, and long-term trend analysis through its comprehensive web interface. Create custom dashboards to track your fleet from anywhere and access detailed data insights for continuous improvement.
The solution is built to enhance transparency and decision-making: each module is designed to transform complex operational data into clear visual indicators that help operators identify performance gaps, evaluate corrective actions, and improve efficiency.
Access analytical data via Excel, API, or your own Business Intelligence tool. Seamless data-based integration options include direct vessel delivery, FTP upload, or API connection, accommodating both daily reports and high-frequency sensor data streams.
With these capabilities, operators will gain an unprecedented understanding of how operational decisions impact fuel efficiency, engine condition, and overall vessel performance. The software also supports scenario-based simulations, enabling strategic planning and informed decision-making across the fleet.
By aligning real-time information with long-term trends, the system enables predictive decision-making that reduces fuel consumption, increases energy efficiency, and ensures continuous compliance with international standards.
PERFORMANCE TRACKING OF HULL & PROPELLER
Maintaining a clean hull for optimal vessel performance is crucial. Performance degradation linked to hull condition and propeller fouling can lead to a 10–15% rise in fuel consumption, directly impacting operational costs and energy efficiency.
Key factors influencing hull condition include underwater paint quality, dry-docking intervals, treatment methods, operational patterns, paint thickness, and cleaning frequency. VESPER’s condition-based monitoring approach identifies early warning signals using AI-driven trend analysis, ensuring that maintenance is performed at the right time to maximize efficiency and reduce unnecessary downtime.
VESPER offers various performance indicators tailored to specific vessel classes, derived from comprehensive data analysis and inspections. Instantaneous trend calculations and fleet-wide performance comparisons enable informed decision-making and highlight opportunities to improve propulsion efficiency and sustainability.
Operators will benefit from real-time alerts and condition-based recommendations, helping them optimize hull and propeller cleaning schedules, improve fuel consumption, and extend the lifespan of critical assets.
Environmental Compliance
Growing environmental regulations, particularly from the EU and IMO, demand heightened transparency, accuracy, and proactive management of energy efficiency and CO₂ reduction.
VESPER’s Environmental Compliance module provides a data-driven foundation for managing fuel consumption and emissions. It automates mandatory reporting while helping companies align their strategies with evolving standards such as IMO DCS, EU MRV, EU ETS, FuelEU, and EEOI.
The platform delivers clear performance insights and compliance tracking, ensuring that decision-makers have access to all key indicators in real time. It will continue to evolve, providing updates and additional features to support full compliance and enhance overall operational governance.
Additional compliance dashboards allow operators to simulate regulatory scenarios, anticipate potential penalties, and take proactive measures to maintain full operational and legal alignment.
Crew Feedback Module
Effective communication with vessel operators is vital for optimizing energy efficiency, as the crew directly influences vessel performance.
Introducing the Crew Feedback module: we provide interactive dashboards for onboard use, enabling crew members to monitor their own KPIs and benchmark against peers. This real-time data feedback loop enhances situational awareness and encourages energy-saving behavior across all vessels.
Features include a Vessel Dashboard for performance overview, Operational Data Quality alerts, Main Engine analysis for propulsion consumption, Auxiliary Engine insights into electricity usage, and Boiler comparison for fuel consumption at sea and in port. By engaging the crew in the performance monitoring process, operators achieve better data quality, improved decision-making, and measurable energy savings.
The module also provides operators with insights into crew performance trends, helping improve training programs, operational routines, and energy-efficient practices across the fleet.
Auxiliary Engine (Baseload) & Boiler Performance
Efficient management of base load and boiler consumption is essential for overall energy optimization onboard vessels.
VESPER supports continuous monitoring of auxiliary systems to detect inefficiencies and suggest improvements. Using data-driven algorithms and trend analysis, it identifies opportunities to reduce unnecessary fuel burn and increase operational efficiency.
By establishing realistic targets and benchmarking performance, we identify opportunities for savings and improve energy awareness among crews. Our approach involves setting targets and monitoring all vessels against them, identifying outliers for further analysis. Comparing sister vessels with similar setups allows for data-based adjustments and continual improvement in efficiency across the fleet.
Operators will also receive recommendations on optimal boiler settings and load balancing strategies to maximize energy efficiency during different operational conditions and voyage segments.
Main Engine Performance
Efficient vessel operation hinges on a well-tuned engine. VESPER’s main engine monitoring tools transform complex operational data into actionable insights, enabling precise evaluation of performance over time.
Monitoring engine efficiency via Specific Fuel Oil Consumption (SFOC) and load performance tests provides early detection of deviations that could affect fuel efficiency or emissions compliance.
VESPER provides daily SFOC monitoring and compares engine performance to established baselines. Benchmark sister vessels for key insights into engine performance, ensuring alignment with the best-performing unit in the fleet. This data-driven approach helps operators make informed decisions that improve overall efficiency, reduce consumption, and sustain long-term operational excellence.
In addition, the software will generate predictive reports on engine wear and potential maintenance needs, helping operators schedule interventions that minimize downtime and maintain optimal vessel performance.
In summary, Advanced Vessel Performance Analysis is a powerful, software-based solution designed to help ship operators gain clarity, improve performance, enhance compliance, and drive continuous improvement through actionable data insights. The system empowers decision-making, supports transparency, and will continue to evolve to meet the growing challenges of modern shipping.
