Optimization of the ship's route using automatically collected data - results of our cooperation with the Danish company OPTIMUM VOYAGE presented at HULLPIC 2023

The eighth edition of the Hull Performance & Insight conference is underway. On August 28-30 in Pontignano, Italy, a group of experts will present talks on various aspects of efficient ship operations.

Once again, Enamor is participating not only as a sponsor - Krzysztof Licznerski and Dominik Lesniak, as well as Martin Hjorth Simonsen from Optimum Voyage will present the results of a joint research project. The result of the cooperation is an integrated IVO cruise route optimization system, based on innovative algorithms and automatically collected data.

Ship owners and operators use a number of services based on data collected on ships. These services are often not compatible with each other and require significant effort each time to prepare the data. Optimum Voyage and Enamor's collaboration aims to reduce this effort through seamless, automated data exchange. As a result, the voyage route optimization service offered by OV has been combined with Enamor's SeaPerformer data acquisition and processing platform.

The presentation will discuss the elements of the newly developed voyage route optimization system: a ship-specific model of fuel consumption under different operating conditions based on data collected during the ship's operation; a novel routing algorithm that allows route changes taking into account weather data and ship's operating parameters; and a highly automated user interface. The presentations are supplemented with application examples to assess the solution's potential to minimize costs and negative environmental impact in the context of new IMO requirements.
