1 WHY DON T WE USE DATA ONBOARD TO IMPROVE THE BUSINESS? Or, can we? How? Walter Hannemann Head of Vessel IT and Nav Equip. Support TORM

2 Vessel IT today X IT yesterday Live planning based on real time data Decision support; automatic decision BI, big data can they be used by Vessel IT? TORM tankers business perspective is it valid for others? CONSIDERATIONS

3 Three possible scenarios of e-navigation development are conceivable: In a conservative scenario - the navigating navigator - the skills of navigators are still essential to safe navigation. The bridge team is the main backup to the safe navigation of the ship. This is also reflected in the principles of training and the certificates required. In a more futuristic scenario - the monitoring navigator - data solutions and monitoring equipment are sophisticated. The navigator relies heavily on automated processes, standardized and harmonized procedures and equipment. The main task of the navigator is to monitor the system displays and the indicators of the system s health or resilience. Close cooperation has been established with shore based organizations to assist a safe voyage from berth to berth. This scenario will have profound implications for design of systems and operational guidance as well as for training, education and required competencies for seafarer certificates. In the ultimate scenario - the unmanned ship - automation has been achieved to the level where the navigation is carried out by computers. Ship movements will be monitored and controlled from shore. Personnel will be on-board the ship only temporarily, to carry out maintenance work or supervise maneuvers in and out of ports, port operations and cargo handling. A traditional navigator, as in the first scenario, will no longer be needed. E-NAVIGATION

4 IIMO says: Integrated Bridge Systems shall be so arranged that failure of one sub-system is brought to immediate attention of the officer in charge of the navigational watch by audible and visual alarms and does not cause failure to any other sub-system. In case of failure in one part of an integrated navigational system, it shall be possible to operate each other individual item of equipment or part of the system separately. IBS/INS

5 ECDIS: Paperless navigations = electronic maps ECDIS: Planning based on lots of additional input VDR: maintain continuously recorded sensor data to reconstruct in case of an accident what was happened before a collision, grounding or any other casualty. The data that has to be recorded and stored include information concerning the position, movement, physical status, command and control of the vessel. BUT IT S ALL IN THE SHIP, FOR THE SHIP ECDIS, VDR

6 Vessel digital equipment lacks a single standard for communication, data storage, no data sharing Each shore IT manufacturer had their own standards (past, present) What is the IEEE equivalent in shipping? Major competition to set standards (same connector format for video, joysick, serial, MIDI) USB, anyone? VESSEL IT TODAY X IT YESTERDAY

7 The 0000, 0600, 1200, 1800 UTC position report and commercial/operations onshore AIS/other location data and the fancy big flat screens in our offices Weather routing and feeback isolated or holistic? Virtual arrival based on what? What real data is taken in consideration? LIVE PLANNING BASED ON REAL TIME DATA

8 Business Intelligence: combining all sorts of data into meaningful information for decision support Big Data: technologies to process data sets too large or too complex to be processed by normal tools Challenges: Gather all data Define objectives Transfer all data Process all data or process first and transfer later? Sell the results to internal parties BI, BIG CAN THEY BE USED?

9 Loss of decision power onboard same as e-navigation? Loss of decision power in the office chartering, operations How difficult it is to sell? Internally? Suppliers? Are customers interested? Competitive intelligence, industrial espionage How different the business will become? What about demurrage? Will we be all the same in the end? ISSUES

10 What could our companies benefits be if we could use all the data generated onboard? What would be necessary from the manufacturer side to make the data available? What is the impact on communications and IT/electronic systems? What changes would be necessary in the Vessel IT and Electronics departments? Governance? Competencies? What would happen if we become too dependent on it and it s not available? QUESTIONS
