Coach Solutions, a leading SaaS provider to the shipping industry, adds a new product offering, high-frequency Speed Percentage Analysis to its suite of vessel performance solutions, as one of the first initiatives due to the strategic investment from Kongsberg Digital.
By leveraging Coach owner Kongsberg Digital’s Vessel Insight infrastructure, Coach can easily ingest high-frequency sensor data from clients’ vessels that can be used to understand when hull and propeller fouling is impacting performance.
The high-frequency data, combined with Coach Solutions’ Valid Data vessel reporting functionality, will result in higher levels of accuracy in hull and propeller fouling advisory as well as a shorter reaction time when identifying fouling.
The new service provides an interactive timeline with all relevant information to identify possible reasons for performance loss and the possibility of integrating shaft power and other relevant sensor data to increase the frequency of fouling analysis from the usual 24 hours and instead allow for real-time analysis.
The Kongsberg Vessel Insight platform collects all relevant performance data and contextualizes it for easy sharing with Coach Solutions, independent verifiers and other application providers. The high-frequency Speed Percentage Analysis service is available to all Coach customers with a subscription to its Valid Performance solution set.
The new tool will fetch auto-logged data from Vessel Insight and combine it with noon report data from the same source of with Coach’s own validated noon report data. Based on any of these data sources the speed percentage will be calculated, enabling evaluation of the vessel’s current and historical performance.
