Ship owners and managers are investing in digital solutions to decarbonize their ship operations. However, many are struggling to realize improvements and need more than just tools, they need support!

OVERSEA offers Fleet Support Center as a Service, a novel decision-support service including both an advanced digital solution and support from center experts. OVERSEA is developed by ABB Marine and Ports and Wallenius Marine. We are looking to change the way ship owners and operators can manage their fleet’s performance.

The goal for OVERSEA is to help customers to continuously improve vessel operational performance, including reducing bunker cost and related emissions, as well as improving reliability and safety in parts of the ship operations. To realize any improvements, elements of people, process and systems are required.

With OVERSEA, ship owners and managers can subscribe to support from center experts, interconnected with their vessels and office via the process-driven Oversea Digital Solution, to ensure efficient collaboration. Enabling data to be turned into insights and insights into actions, to realize improvements.

Did you know?

Within the OVERSEA Environmental performance, we offer follow-up and forecast of the carbon intensity indicator: CII. Through advanced analysis, we also provide a breakdown and improvement potential of CII to clearly show what under-performance areas there are in technical and voyage performance.

Unique service concept

Software + services

OVERSEA does not only offer a digital solution but also support from fleet center experts. Customers can work with Oversea as a one-stop-shop to gain cost savings by investing in one digital solution and service instead of using several digital tools whilst keeping the tools future proof.

Shore support

OVERSEA is based on a strong centralized support philosophy, putting “the center in the center”. The center operators provide a second pair of eyes and take responsibility for driving the monitoring, analysis, recommendations and follow-up for a few key areas that has a big impact on the operational performance of a vessel.

The OVERSEA digital solution is designed to enable the Oversea center experts to effectively support the vessels and the office personnel.

Wide support scope

OVERSEA has a wide support scope covering all of the relevant areas influencing ship operational performance, including environmental, technical and voyage performance.

Insights to actions

OVERSEA supports the full improvement cycle, turning data into insights and insights into actions. The role of the Oversea center expert is to provide actionable recommendations and to ensure focus on the action phase, so that provided recommendations are indeed executed to realize improvements.

OVERSEA Support areas

In OVERSEA roadmap the aim is to offer a wide, modular and integrated decision-support scope covering the relevant areas influencing ship operational performance, including Environmental, Technical and Voyage Performance.

Ship operational performance can on overall total level be viewed as Environmental Performance as energy efficiency directly translates to emissions. Oversea underlying performance analysis enables breakdown of the overall environmental performance into the main Technical and Voyage Performance contributors, so causes for under-performance can be identified and the right corrective actions to be taken.

Oversea performance analysis is based on continuous high-frequency automatic data collection enriched with manual log records where relevant. Cutting-edge models, combining machine-learning and physics-based methods, are used to enable accurate performance analysis with high granularity results in all areas. Interdependencies between technical and voyage performance are captured i.e., the continuously evaluated technical performance in-service is considered for when optimizing the voyage speed and route, to avoid any sub-optimization.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE

VOYAGE PERFORMANCE

Environmental Performance

Oversea will offer follow-up and forecast of the carbon intensity indicator, CII. But we will also, through advanced analysis, provide a breakdown and improvement potential of CII to clearly show what under-performance areas there are in technical and voyage performance. In addition to CII, OVERSEA will also offer different types of emission monitoring, including various COx, SOx, or NOx kpi’s as well as hull biofouling record book. OVERSEA focuses its offering on helping customers lower their environmental footprint.

Carbon Intensity Indicator

Scope: continuous monitoring, breakdown and forecast of the IMO Carbon Intensity Indicator. Improvement potential from Technical and Voyage performance contributors as relevant on the overall CII rating.

Outcome: continuous compliance monitoring of CII. Forecast to see the probable CII score by year end. Guidance and prioritization of initiatives to improve the CII rating.

Value: reduced fuel consumption and improved competitiveness with good CII scores

Technical Performance

Oversea will support quantifying and optimizing the technical performance for: Hull and propeller, Main engine and Auxiliaries. Oversea support aim to improve the fuel-efficiency while also considering the condition to reduce/minimize the fuel consumption, avoiding breakdowns and reduce the maintenance cost. With Oversea monitoring and analysis, it is possible to identify degradation trends early on so that relevant corrective actions can be taken in time.

Hull & Propeller

Scope: continuous analysis and quantification of the increased resistance (and fuel consumption) due to fouling on the ship’s underwater surfaces over time, linked to effect of corrective maintenance activities (cleaning, dry-docking).

Outcome: on-demand hull cleaning, evaluation of paint makers and products, evaluation of hull cleaning providers.

Value: reduced fuel consumption, optimized fuel cost against hull biofouling maintenance cost

Main Engine (Efficiency + Condition)

Scope: continuous monitoring of the engine efficiency combined with periodic onboard indication tests and condition measurements of critical engine components.

Outcome: safely tune main engine for efficiency also considering the wear of critical engine components, apply condition-based maintenance and optimize spare part lifetime and procurement.

Value: reduced fuel consumption, increased reliability with preventive maintenance and reduced cost for maintenance

Auxiliary Engines

Scope: continuous operation analysis of the engine efficiency, both with regards to technical efficiency (specific fuel consumption) and operational efficiency (electric power production and usage).

Outcome: on-demand auxiliary engine tuning and electric power production optimization

Value: reduced fuel consumption

Voyage Performance

To ensure consistently efficient and safe voyage Oversea will support optimizing the Speed, Route, and Trim. Oversea will support the planning, execution, and follow-up of a sea voyage between pilot stations, logically linking the three phases of the voyage together. The support is enabled by a state-of-the-art optimization engine running in the cloud, integrated with technical performance analysis as well as ship motions analysis.

During the voyage planning and execution, continuously optimized recommendations will be provided as well as real-time monitoring along with post-voyage analysis starting already during voyage. Oversea is agnostic to weather and chart providers, based on the customer needs and preferences any service provider using “standard” protocols can be used.
