Performance rating of ship design and ships in operation

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

Measuring and comparing the performance of ships, both during the design and operational phases, shall help the industry and individual stakeholders to make better, fact-based decisions, leading to more effective ships and ship operations. This shall contribute to smarter, greener and safer ships and shipping. Performance measurement will support such an approach and will be enabled by enhancing the use of data from vessels in operation and other complementary data sources. It is a prerequisite to understand how a vessel's performance is influenced by behavioral factors, in order to evaluate potential corrective measure to enhance the final performance of the vessels. This research work will ensure the knowledge basis to perform such vessel performance evaluations.
