Using advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve quality & safetyVicky J. Machera – Director Southern Europe, Maritime Software
Tanker Operator Conference
April 3rd 2012
Athens
How much scrutiny / pressure are you under?
How easy / difficult has it become to secure charters / fixtures?
� Charterers can afford to be more selective for many trades
� Customers / charterers / stakeholders want to
minimize their risk
How can you improve your competitive position?
Tanker Operator Conference - Athens | 02.04.2012 | No. 2
Using advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve quality
How can you improve your competitive position?
▲ Increase Safety / Quality
▼ Reduce Costs
Tanker Operator Conference - Athens | 02.04.2012 | No. 3
Using advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve quality
How can you improve your competitive position?
How can modern software technologies help you?

Tanker Operator Conference - Athens | 02.04.2012 | No. 4
Using advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve quality
▲ Increase Safety / Quality
Modern software systems can support the implementation of your management systems
But only if they ...
� Improve process quality
� Enable transparency gains
� Improve information flow
� Are easy to use / do not overburden crew
Tanker Operator Conference - Athens | 02.04.2012 | No. 5
Using advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve quality
A typical conflict for tanker operators?
� Possible at the same time?
� What role modern software technologies can play?
� Lets look at two areas:
� maintenance decisions
� navigational decisions

Tanker Operator Conference - Athens | 02.04.2012 | No. 7
Using advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve quality
Maintenance effort is often focussed on machinery items
Well, if the engine fails you still
have an anchor...
How about structural failures?
Tanker Operator Conference - Athens | 02.04.2012 | No. 8
Using advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve quality
Minimize risks, ensure compliance
� Reduce the probability of structural failures
� Reduce the risks for pollution and water ingress due to structural failures
� Reduce risk of reputation damages
Comply with
� Flag states and classification (IMO, IACS)
� Cargo owners (TMSA, CAP surveys)

inspection

Thickness

(by provider)
Tanker Operator Conference - Athens | 02.04.2012 | No. 10
Using advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve quality
The Challenge …
� Can you easily locate problem
areas in hull structure again?
� Can you easily evaluate trends
over time - e.g. in severity of
corrosion or extent of coating
breakdown?
� Can you analyze inspection results
and / or compare results across
sister vessels?
� Can you combine thickness
measurement data with results of
visual inspections in one platform?
Tanker Operator Conference - Athens | 02.04.2012 | No. 11
Using advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve quality
This is feasible through…
� Standardization of inspection process (inspection strategy, schedule – scope, reporting criteria)
� Establish common terminology between office and crew
� Crew guidance through the use of 3D vessel model (hot spots)
� Control mechanisms to avoid user mistakes
Systematic monitoring and assessing the condition of a ship’s hull - e.g. tanks, cargo holds and coatings - throughout its entire lifecycle
Tanker Operator Conference - Athens | 02.04.2012 | No. 12
Using advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve quality
What if you could reduce repair costs?
� Avoid costly repairs through timely maintenance
� Early detection of problems through systematic monitoring and reporting procedures
� Support for planning and assessment of hull inspections
Examples:
Early detection of pitting damages
� Use of filler by crew instead of welding
by repair team
Early detection of anode consumption
� Prevent high corrosion rates
Early detection of coating failure
� Prevent engagement of riding crews for
blasting / recoating
Tanker Operator Conference - Athens | 02.04.2012 | No. 13
Using advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve quality
A picture is worth a thousand words...
� Mark failure or observation
� Attach photo to exact location in
model where it was taken

� Quick access of hull condition throughout the fleet
� Comparison of inspection results between sister vessels, e.g. corrosion, cracks, coating breakdown, etc.

How to balance safe, on schedule and efficient routing decisions?
Safety- with no harm to cargo, crew or vessel -
Schedule integrity- be on time regardless of circumstances -
Efficiency- at the lowest possible consumption -

Onboard Navigational Decision Support System
Continuous monitoring of vessel behaviour
• warn navigator of dangerous motions and loss of stability
• warn navigator of too high stresses and forces acting on the vessel
• provide instantaneous guidance what to counteract as well as what consequences this action has
Route planning
• assess vessel behaviour for entire planned route - more than “just” weather routing as vessel’s hydrodynamic characteristics and mass distribution / tank fill levels are considered
• ensure that planned route is safe to sail – or learn under which conditions it is
• combine real safety, efficiency and time considerations in route planning
