Efficient monitoring system

Transas Wave is designed to provide an easy tool for monitoring and recording of ship's fuel consumption. It is said to be a standalone application that fits on every ship. Integration with ECDIS for route optimisation will be available later this year together with the ECO module, according to Transas Marine. An ECO module is designed to comply with new MARPOL requirements allowing recording and monitoring of vessels emission.
Transas Wave connects with navigation sensors, flow metre, engine data and emission sensors to collect information, which are then used to optimise the operation of a vessel. With proper control and management it is possible to improve engine efficiency, delivering fuel savings and reducing emission.
Transas Wave provides online decision support where instantaneous as well as consumption per sailed distance is presented in a clear and easy way. By making small changes to speed, trim and planned route, significant fuel savings of more than 5% could be achieved, Transas Marine said.
