Optimised Routes For Maximum Fuel Efficiency
This initiative develops innovative methods to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions in harbour tug operations. By analysing navigation and machinery data, the team has identified key operational states of harbour tugs, including berthing/unberthing towage jobs, transit, and idle. This differentiation enables a comprehensive review of operational patterns, allowing the team to pinpoint specific areas for improvement to boost overall efficiency and environmental performance.
A Web Based Platform For Transit Route Planning
Initial trials suggest significant annual fuel savings per tugboat. The team is now developing advanced operational planning and optimisation tools with rich analytical features and transit compliance evaluation. Sea trials will verify actual fuel savings in real-world operations. This system is expected to streamline operations across entire harbour tug fleets. Additionally, the methodologies are applicable to other types of harbour craft, further reducing fuel consumption and emissions while maximising efficiency in marine services.
