Fleet performance
Managing a fleet, plant or any type of installation comes with
numerous responsibilities and challenges. When it comes
to propulsion management, optimising performance is key.
Performance Management is not only driven by cost-effective goals
and decisions. Environmental impact, competition and pending rules
and regulations are also taken into account. To be one step ahead in
Propulsion Performance Management, VAF Instruments develops and
manufactures state-of-the-art sensors and solutions that provide you
propulsion performance at your fingertips.

Fuel Efficiency
Due to the increasing awareness of the impact of exhaust emissions
on the environment, combined with the continued increases in fuel
costs, there is great need for reduction in fuel consumption. This
has led to a high demand for accurate measurement systems to
monitor the fuel consumption per engine. Real-time measurement
and trend analysis of fuel consumption provide helpful information
for ship owners, ship managers and crew about the influences of
their actions on the consumed fuel. VAF Instruments offers various
kinds of systems for the most accurate measurement and analysis
of fuel consumption. For the large variety in fuel systems, VAF
Instruments offers a dedicated fuel consumption measurement
system and diverse monitoring and management solutions.
Since 1938 VAF Instruments has gained experience in the
development, production and application of precision measuring
instruments for the measurement of (fuel) flow ranges from almost
0 up to 1 million liters per hour.
The very high accuracy (down to 0.1%) and high repeatability (0.05%) of
VAF Instruments’ Positive Displacement Flowmeters are not affected by
pressure, viscosity or temperature of the fuel. In addition the design of
the systems is very robust and easy to operate, making it ideal for use in
the typical environmental conditions on board of ships and power plants.
Since most of the operating costs of a ship are fuel related, it is very
important to use fuel in the most efficient way. The measurement
and control of the viscosity and density ensures an improved
combustion efficiency preventing engine damage and reduction
of fuel and maintenance cost. ViscoSense®3D is a highly accurate
sensor with a superior measuring principle based on the proven
ViscoSense® technology. The sensor offers density, viscosity and
temperature measurements. Furthermore, in combination with VAF
Instruments PD Flowmeters, this measurement system is a cost
effective solution for mass flow measurement for fuel consumption
and bunkering applications.

Propulsion Performance
Optimising ship’s propulsion performance is one of the major
factors to minimise environmental impact and reduce fuel
costs. There are different levels of measuring ship propulsion
performance.
The first step is by measurement of the propeller power or torque.
By measuring torque the total propulsive performance change over
time can be determined. The use of VAF Instruments’ T-Sense® torque
measuring system facilitates efficiency improvement and overload
protection avoiding maintenance and breakdown costs. Using
T-Sense® has lead to savings up to 10% on fuel costs. The system
is based on highly accurate optical sensor technology and can be
mounted on shafts in power transmission systems. The T-Sense® can
measure the combined effect of propeller and hull. But in order to
separate the propeller performance and the ship’s hull performance,
the propeller thrust needs to be measured as well. The way to do so
is by measuring thrust in addition to torque.
The propeller plays an important role in the decrease of the total
propulsion performance of a ship. In general one third of propulsion
performance decrease is caused by propeller, where two third is
caused by hull. Based on factual data, proper decisions can be made
for either a hull cleaning or just a propeller cleaning (or repair). Next
to this, the effects of for instance a propeller modification or a new
hull coating can be measured much more accurately. In the end this
provides essential insight aiding investment decisions for propulsion
energy saving measures and greenhouse gas reductions.
In addition to torque measurement, VAF Instruments’ TT-Sense®
offers the unique possibility to separate propeller and hull
resistance, therewith maximising the total savings potential on your
maintenance and fuel bill up to 20%.

Environmental Compliance
Rules and regulations such as MARPOL, SEEMP, ECA, IMO and
MRV make sure ships put in their efforts to prevent from possible
pollution caused by their operations. VAF Instruments makes
every effort both to prevent marine pollution and to reduce the
environmental footprint of the maritime industry.
Automated Voyage Reporting
To report all the details per ship and per voyage, made obligatory
by legislation such as MRV and IMO DCS, seems to be a lot of
extra paperwork and handling. There is an easier way though.
The automatic data collection and automated voyage reports
by MARVY® are the answer to push back the extra work and to
be in compliance with the MRV & IMO DCS regulations. This
MARVY solution for voyage reporting includes automatic berth &
anchorage detection, automatic fuel oil consumption monitoring
and automated voyage & MRV reports. This unique solution is
certified by verification bodies and claimed to be the most advanced
solution for MRV and IMO DCS compliance. With this certified
solution, MARVY® eliminates human error in voyage reporting, due
to automatic data collection, automated voyage reporting without
manual input.
Oil in Water Discharge
To prevent marine pollution and comply with MARPOL requirements,
continuous on-line monitoring of discharge water during
de-ballasting operations is mandatory. VAF Instruments’ Oilcon®
oil discharge monitoring and control systems are suitable for all
ballast and slop water discharges. The system is based on the light
scattering principle which technique results in unprecedented
levels of accuracy, reliability and cost-efficiency of installation and
ownership. The system is fully automated and is equipped with an
intuitive user interface, making it the most user friendly system,
also due to the fact that the robust system requires very little
maintenance.

Data management
There are different levels of data management on board and on
shore: data collection, basic visualisation of measured data, data
enrichment and data analysis.
The innovative products and solutions, developed by VAF
Instruments, can be linked to a range of data monitoring and
management solutions. Basic data collection and visualisation of
measured (mass) flow data from Flowmeters can be done by the
onboard FCM2 Flow Computer. But if you want to step it up a notch,
PEM4, the onboard Propulsion Efficiency Monitor combines flow
information with torque and/ or thrust measurement data a.o. to
define specific KPI’s such as SFOC. In addition this system can make
an automatic distinction between different fuel types. The system
is able to monitor up to 12 Flowmeters (8 separate consumers), two
T-Sense® or TT-Sense® sensors and can additionally be connected
to speedlog or GPS to obtain the specific fuel consumption
per nautical mile. Connecting the PEM4 with the innovative
ViscoSense®3D provides mass flow monitoring.
However, data collection of the relevant sensors on board
of various ships of a fleet can result in unmanageable
large amounts of data, so called Big Data. Therefore,
the most important and difficult step is to refine the
vast amount of raw measurement data into relevant data points.
This enriched data is critical for KPIs on which decisions for ship
performance optimisation can be based.
IVY®, VAF Instruments’ solution for Propulsion Performance
Management, brings you the fleet at your fingertips. From ship to
shore, IVY® collects and enriches Big Data for powerful analysis.
The web application of IVY® provides fleet and ship performance
visualisation and insight into the relevant data and more than
30 KPIs. IVY® can be combined with a range of sensors on board,
including all VAF Instruments’ innovative measurement systems.
IVY® brings Big Data back to the essence.

IVY®, Propulsion Performance Management
system provides a relevant overview of the
performance of the fleet as a whole. It enables
monitoring and comparing the performance
of the entire fleet of ships, as well as on
individual ship level. IVY® automatically
collects all data, performs powerful analyses
and visualises dedicated Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) and provides insight with full
graphical display of sensor data. In addition,
performance of sister ships can easily be
compared in the fleet overview.
Fleet performance
Data collection of the relevant sensors on
board of various ships of a fleet usually
results in unmanageable large amounts of
data, so called Big Data. Therefore, the most
important and difficult step is to refine the
vast amount of raw measurement data into
relevant data points. This enriched data is
critical for KPIs on which decisions for ship
performance optimisation can be based.
Big Data enrichment is automatically
performed by IVY® and is based on the use
of complex mathematical algorithms, which
have been developed by VAF Instruments
over many years. These mathematical
algorithms of IVY® provide clear Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs) on which the
performance of the various ships and the
fleet can easily be tracked. Strong algorithms
also form the internal engine of the virtual
sensors that improve sensor signal quality
such as speed through water.
With by IVY®‘s powerful analysis, visualising
raw sensor data and performing difficult
time consuming data analysis is no longer
necessary. IVY® enriches and then analyses
data into KPIs which are presented to the
ship and fleet performance decision maker
through a clear visualisation dashboard.
These KPIs enable optimization of
operational costs, energy efficiency, fuel
consumption, emissions and maintenance.
If, based on the displayed KPIs, there
is a necessity for further analysis of the
performance of the individual ship or fleet,
IVY® also offers the possibility to zoom in on
the individual sensor signals. This enables
the user to perform more in depth analysis of
a possible change in a trend.

Besides insight into the propulsive
performance of the ships in your fleet, IVY®
can also reveal potential improvements
in operational performance. Its powerful
reporting capabilities allow you or your
analysts to get a helicopter view over all
operations to reveal possible savings, or
problems. After spotting an anomaly, further
detailed inspections on a minute by minute
basis will tell you exactly what happened,
when it happened, why it happened and how
it can be improved.
Browse through key figures per day or
per voyage, either in IVY® or in exported
spreadsheets, to reveal what went wrong and
what went right on your ships. By performing
analyses on a per voyage basis it becomes
easy to spot potential improvements in speed
optimization and power management, and
will allow you to evaluate the effectiveness of
your voyage planning. IVY® gives you all the
tools to monitor the activities of your ships
and verify how effectively policies are being
implemented within the fleet.
