What is Ship Management ?
What the Owner wants (1993)….
• Zero Accidents to crew or vessel
• Look after everything without bothering the Owner
• Zero downtime planned or unplanned
• No bills
• Ship maintained to last for ever
• Fast vessels with no fuel consumption which are always in the right place for the best paying business
• Instant compliance with every new rule and regulation
• Robot crews that work 24 hrs a day and never need feeding, paying or leave and that can be trained by a modem link while they work
• Perfect performance to the requirements of the Owner’s customer
2014 – Future Requirements
• Partnership – commercial, operational and technical
• Crewing Competence
• Technical Reliability
• Operational Efficiency
• Legislative Compliance
• Conclusion
Partnership
• There is no simple answer
• Team work with Owners is essential
• Sharing the long – or even medium term goal
Crew
Our on-board management team
• On average 60% of OPEX
• Biggest asset or greatest threat?
• Is training OPEX well spent?
• Is the industry prepared for the next Cycle?
• What are the implications of the MLC
Technical Reliability
• Getting the Basics Right …..
• Value your supply chain
• Beware of ‘ Non original spare parts’
• Buy cheap – buy twice…
• Fix the illness – not just the symptoms
• Are the available funds being spent where they will do
the most good?
Getting The Basics Right (2)
• Some of the biggest gains are to be made from
making sure that a ship runs as it was designed.
• Knowing where you stand NOW is essential
• Measurement
• Accurate measurement of
– Fuel Consumption
– Power Output
– Running Parameters
Getting the Basics Right (3)
• Machinery Management
• Good maintenance programmes
• Regular monitoring of running parameters.
• Proper management of plant
Fuel Management
Loading Fuel; making sure you get what you pay for:
Fitting of a Coreolis Mass Flowmeter can reduce short
delivery at bunkering down to 0.5% .
(PAYBACK time as little as 6 months)
Fuel Treatment
• Filtering, Purification and Combustion
Consider operating a fuel oil purifier efficiency programme
to ensure the units are operating to maximum benefit.
Reductions in sludge production and fuel loss
Getting the Basics Right (4)
• Hull Management
• The right hull treatment programme.
• Selecting the right coating.
• Inspection and cleaning.
Hull Performance
• It is commonly acknowledged that maintaining the
ship’s hull smooth and free of fouling gives the
biggest potential saving in fuel consumption.
• Additional investment during a dry-dock in a
comprehensive blast of the hull followed up by
coating with a high quality anti fouling system will
produce long term savings for the majority of
vessels.
Hull Performance
There are increasingly sophisticated
products available which can be
matched to the ships profile and
owners aspirations to produce a cost
effective performance improving
proposal.
Propellers
• Some of the biggest gains are to be made from making
sure that a ship runs as it was designed.
• Propeller Management
– Re-profiling propellers on older tonnage
– Proper repair in dock
– Regular Inspection and cleaning
Propellers
• During the gold rush of the mid 2000’s many
propellers were not matched properly to hulls
• On older vessels the hull will become heavy with age
and the propeller no longer matches.
• Main engine manufactures will work with Owners to
re profile older propellers in dock or afloat.
Trim Optimisation
• Relatively minor changes in trim can give dramatic
savings in fuel consumption
• A ‘one-of’ investment of around 25k - 30k Euro in a T/O
package - depending on hull profile data availability.
• Payback on Leisure and Container vessels can be less
than 1 year.

Working in the right zone
Operating on or
above the red line
gives poor efficiency
and causes engine
damage.
Hull and propeller
cleaning and good
maintenance
management will
avoid this.
Legislative Compliance
• Ballast Water Management
• Proposed European Union MVR legislation
• USA VGP – 19th December 2013
• Californian Maximum Fuel Sulphur Content

Shipping KPI ProjectOverview
(What, when and how many)
1. 2100 vessels
2. 180 Companies
3. CDI using for their container vessels
Can you manage without measuring?
• how well you are performing?
• if you need to improve?
• if your competitors are performing better than you?
• where you need to improve?
and
Do you WANT to improve?
If so,
HOW?
•Do you know:-
Continuous Improvement
That which you don’t measure
You can’t control
That which you don’t control
You can’t improve
Do we always see ourselves as we
really are?
Or as we would like to be?
Best Management Practice by
use of KPI’s is not difficult:

Summary and Close
• Get the basic right
• Run the vessel as designed – or improve
… and its not new
Lord Kelvin (circa 1860)
"To measure is to know. If you can not measure
it, you can not improve it."
Charles Darwin (circa 1860)
“ It is not the strongest of the species that
survives, nor the most intelligent, it is the one
that is most adaptable to change”
