(With video) DNV GL and Veritas Petroleum Services (VPS) will introduce a new Fuel Analytics solution.
As part of DNV GL’s ECO Insight fleet performance management portal, the tool will enable a systematic assessment of the impact of fuel quality on vessel performance, for the first time ever. The Fuel Analytics solution is the result of an ongoing close cooperation between VPS and DNV GL.
Assessing Ports and Fuel Suppliers
The new fuel analytics solution is a powerful online benchmarking tool that shipping companies can use alongside ECO Insight’s existing modules, to answer three key questions:
- What impact does my bunkered fuel quality have on my vessel’s performance?
- What bunker quality have I received compared to a world fleet average of similar vessels in the same time period?
- Where do I find good quality bunker locations and suppliers?
Fuel quality is calculated in terms of four major benchmarks: technical quality (meeting the specifications of ISO standard 8217), financial quality (energy, water content), statutory compliance as well as reporting quality (deviation from the bunker delivery note). By providing aggregated and comparable benchmarks, ship operators can easily assess ports and suppliers globally on a common scale.
