We collect data We collect ship performance data by reviewing a vessel or fleet’s operational profile, engine running profiles and operational procedures. We may support this with a ship survey carrying out onboard technical performance testing of main and auxiliary engines and boilers. We analyse Collected ship performance and operational data are analyzed and a set of improvement options for fuel saving are identified. The various fuel saving options are evaluated and prioritized using a cost benefit approach. We recommend A list of specific improvement options for fuel saving are recommended including what these will represent in terms of cost saving for the container operator.
