To improve ship performance today, it is becoming more important to use all available data on board. There are various providers in the market.
The wide range of performance monitoring systems, including fleet management systems, is often difficult for customers to understand and to select the appropriate solutions for their respective applications. In addition, the big challenge is to meet the requirements of all parties involved, such as the shipowner and the charterer. Here we see ourselves as your supporter, advising you to choose the best possible solution for you.
We described here one example from our cooperative partner Veinland, the PIM OBU.

As an application example, we introduce the PIM OBU (Performance Indication Onboard Unit). The PIM OBU logs and displays nautical data, fuel consumption data and engine data from various sensors in real time. It gives detailed information about the actual performance of the ships.
In addition, the PIM OBU compares the fuel consumption with the data of the charter party. All data can be transferred to the shipping company office for further analysis and playback.
A special software module (for office use) makes it possible to save all collected data for repetition and further analysis. In addition, the software module provides the ability to configure the onboard system from the shore.
