If yes, what is it?

So many ship managers in the world

are coming to terms with these buzzwords and nobody can afford to escape it. The world is moving forward and we should not stand still.

Face the challenge

Unpredictable seas, unusually difficult cyclical dips, changing regulations, environmental concerns, economic trends, geopolitical

threats, risky waters and many more are part and parcel of our industry.

We need new innovations, better technology, smart solutions and an open mindset

to accept new ways of working. I’m not saying we do away with the traditional ship management of nuts and bolts,

I’m just saying we need to transform

and adapt so we can sustain our businesses.

WSM chews on the digital shipping pie Digital Shipping is the buzzword for the future of shipping.

At Wilhelmsen Ship Management, we are already having a piece of that future since the turn of the new millennium.

Being an early adopter more than a decade ago, we deployed various digital reporting systems onboard as part of ship management operations.

These are the 3 main areas that were digitized for operational performance: Safety compliance

Safety Management System

Situational Awareness (ISPS)

Crew work & Rest Hours Monitoring

Regulation compliance

Environmental Management

Continuous Improvement – Inspections

Feature

Port Operation Management

Maintenance & monitoring

Planned Maintenance System

Defect Reporting System

Conditional Based Monitoring System

With systems in place, the amount of available data from vessels continues to grow.

The data contain large amounts of measuring points with a high sampling rate. As the dependencies and variety of systems deployed onboard increased, we saw the need

to convert huge volumes of data into information that can be used for both operational and analytical purposes.

By using this data, we can help owners to achieve greener, safer and optimized operations.

This digital print serves as foundation blocks for the big data era.

Generation: Big Data

Our journey into big data began in 2014. Substantial amount of work and effort were invested to

establish our data warehouse. One of the goals of this project was to diminish silos and integrate information from the core business of ship management.

All vessels managed by WSM are analyzed with a business intelligence tool. The framework supporting this tool is a data warehouse, our holy grail of information that is fed by different web-based applications onboard.

The business intelligence tool churns and crunches data to extract consolidated reports and create analysis that are accessible to the relevant stakeholders for further action.

Making informed decisions

Through our business intelligence tool, we have established several correlations of events,

vectors and root causes that contribute to our operational, energy and financial performance

indicators. Having the right information allows us to formulate solutions to effectively address the identified root cause.

Where we are now

We have moved from traditional management through alerts and reports to digital dashboards.

Today, with big data we can perform statistical analysis and develop more dimensions of visualized reporting.

Going forth, we will extend our big data utilization to forecasting and scenario planning.

Our eventual ambition is to achieve predictive modeling and optimization of ship management operations.

Digital map for tomorrow

Our current digital print was developed on a scalable foundation. This is essential to

accommodate future digitization upgrades and expansions of ship management operations.

Enhancement of web-based applications and development of mobile applications are ongoing.

Feature

Where possible, we will look into ways to digitize processes and reduce paperwork onboard.

A good example of this initiative is the development of a mobile application for internal audits.

This application will be used during inspection, which captures results and uploads data

simultaneously into the data warehouse, thus reducing manual paperwork and time taken to prepare an audit inspection report.

Internet of Things (IoT)

‌is high on our agenda. We see very near possibilities to incorporate IoT into our digital ambition.

Transitioning into EU MRV

WSM believes data integrity is the key to EU MRV compliance.

The EU MRV regulation entered into force on 1 July 2015 as part of the European Commission (EC)’s effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from international shipping within the European Union (EU).

The EU MRV, short for monitoring, reporting and verification, is a requirement for ship owners and operators to annually monitor, report and verify CO2 emissions.

While data collection will begin on 1 January 2018, the preparation for compliance has commenced for many before that.

Having a verified monitoring plan is the first milestone for this regulation. At WSM, we foresee the biggest challenge to remain compliant is ensuring data integrity throughout the data collection period.

Preparation work began in 2015 when the regulation entered into force. Our first

move was to assess the existing company procedures and conduct a gap analysis to meet EU MRV requirements.

Some major milestones that we have achieved to address the identified gaps:

Data integrity is our focus

It is our highest priority to ensure accuracy, enforceability and transparency in

the verification process and make the EU MRV reporting (monitoring process) work as planned.

During submission of emissions report, accredited verifiers will verify 2 main items:

At the time of publication, with the existing systems and data harvesting in place, we are

already populating the required information from vessels to meet the EU MRV regulation.

By the end of the reporting period in end-2018, we would have 2 years’ worth of data.

With history, it allows us to identify anomalies and improve reporting accuracy from harvested data.

Our shore-based audit team analyzes the information with a standardised set of parameters for comparable quality control within fleets.

Moving ahead

In future, regulators/verifiers may establish its own digital reporting platform that allows direct submissions of emissions report. We have evaluated the electronic version

of the emissions report template and we are confident that our existing digital platform can meet the requirements.

Currently, we are implementing the requirements of IMO Data collection system

(IMO DCS) into our systems. The data collection for IMO DCS will begin on 1 January 2019, but we are starting early like how a shaper of the maritime industry should be.

GETTING YOUR LNG VESSEL OUT FROM THE COLD Issue 2 - 2017

23

Globally, environmental policymakers are playing a part in driving demand for natural gas as it is a proven clean fuel.

Prime time for reactivation

If you are an LNG player and ready to reactivate your vessels at the lay-up facility, here are some key points to consider.

Before that, you should understand that the reactivation process, while thorough, can be achievable between 2-3 weeks on one caveat: your vessel was laid-up in

excellent conditions and consistently monitored by dedicated on-site supervisors.

A typical reactivation of any vessel in good condition should not take over two months – including extensive dry docking.

Deciding the reactivation scope

A visit to the vessel is required to determine its state. During the inspection, the inspector will need to examine as many vessel areas as possible, determine if the vessel can be brought straight into service, or require dry docking.

News Update

Key considerations during vessel inspection:

Overall hull condition

Communication with lay-up manager – identify defects seen in vessel during lay-up

Deck equipment – especially the conditions of mooring and fire-fighting installations and its non-operational equipment

Status of engine room and devices – if drips can be heard on the lower flat this could indicate a large amount of marine growth on the hull Accommodation and galley condition Bridge equipment

Any upgrades needed according to changes in regulations

With the documentation received from the vessel inspector, owners can prepare

for the reactivation and dry docking specifications (if any). Owners shall decide if the vessel can sail under her own power or needs to be towed to a dry docking facility.

24

WManager

What’s next after reactivation?

After departing the lay-up facility, your vessel may be bound for dry docking depending on its condition.

With over 10 years working in the maritime industry specializing in LNG segment, WSM’s

vessel manager, Don Jenkins, shares some points that owners may overlook and potentially stretch the timeframe.
