About Vessel
Performance Monitoring

It is a management area that collects and analyzes voyage and machinery data to make hull and main-engine efficiency visible. Rather than serving only as a record, it identifies gaps between design performance and actual operational data and quantifies the impact of hull fouling and age-related degradation. It helps operators understand in-service conditions and use that insight to consider improvement measures.

Benefits of Vessel
Performance Monitoring

To advance compliance with environmental regulations and cost optimization at the same time. As requirements such as CII ratings and EU ETS compliance increase, rising fuel costs are also having a major impact—making the quality of operational decisions directly tied to competitiveness. With performance monitoring, it becomes easier to make decisions based on data.

Challenges Solved by
Vessel Performance Monitoring

It can simultaneously reduce fuel-efficiency losses in daily operations and ease the workload of data aggregation and reporting in administrative teams. For example, it enables decisions on countermeasures based on projected CII rating trends and helps prevent rising fuel costs by detecting early signs of hull fouling. In addition, trend analysis of machinery data can detect early signs of abnormalities, helping reduce the risk of unexpected shutdowns.

Choosing a Vessel
Performance Monitoring System

Analysis accuracy and scalability are key. The reliability of the results depends heavily on whether the system can reliably collect high-frequency data and whether it normalizes data to account for weather and loading conditions. In addition to support for international standards such as ISO 19847/19848, confirm integration with operational planning, maintenance, and reporting functions, as well as whether third-party verification or certification is available.

Use Cases for
Vessel Performance Monitoring

Typical examples include improving fuel efficiency by optimizing routes and speed using weather data, and condition-based maintenance (CBM) supported by machinery monitoring. It is also used to predict CII ratings based on emissions records and operating conditions, supporting decisions on measures such as slow steaming and hull cleaning.

Examples of Marine Fleet
Management Software with
Performance Monitoring

The webpage editorial team investigated case studies of marine fleet management software that supports performance monitoring. Please review how each solution is used in practice and the results achieved after implementation to help guide system selection.

Case Study:
METIS Cyberspace Technology's Marine Fleet Management Software

Contributing to Reduced Fuel Consumption and Emissions

As new environmental regulations increase the need for high operational efficiency, Neptune Lines implemented Metis's marine fleet management software as a technology to support optimization across the hull, machinery, electrical systems, and operations.

With Metis's marine fleet management software in place, real-time performance monitoring became possible, contributing to reduced fuel consumption and emissions.

Case Study:
StormGeo's Marine Fleet Management Software

Supporting Compliance with Environmental Regulations Using Performance Data

Bergshav Management AS implemented StormGeo's marine fleet management software, Performance Center, to continuously monitor and manage vessel operational data and support compliance with IMO DCS and EU MRV.

This includes data review both onboard and ashore, as well as coordination with verifiers, using performance data to support regulatory compliance and reporting workflows.

Case Study:
MANTA Marine's Marine Fleet Management Software

Centralizing Fuel Consumption Data to Improve Efficiency Visibility

For many years, the company relied on manually entered fuel consumption data that was prone to errors. After implementing Manta Marine Technologies' marine fleet management software, FuelOpt, it can now manage vessel data—including fuel consumption—digitally on a single platform.

As a result, it can filter out variable factors and measure efficiency more accurately.

Case Study:
Inmarsat's Marine Fleet Management Software

Real-Time Monitoring for
Performance & Efficiency

Mitsubishi Ore Transport implemented Inmarsat's Fleet Xpress to establish a stable communications environment between ship and shore. Through real-time data sharing and the use of Fleet Data, the company is improving operational efficiency and reducing fuel consumption, supporting both digitalization and decarbonization.
