VESSEL OPTIMISATION

The following Product Terms apply to the Solution Vessel Optimisation Platform. 

For the avoidance of doubt, Supplier means ZeroNorth A/S. 

Customer shall have a valid subscription to the Solution Fuel Models to use this Vessel Optimisation Platform. 

Description of the Solution  

Supplier's Vessel Optimisation Platform Solution evaluates the condition of the vessels in Customer’s fleet enabling Customer to improve fuel performance with both short and long term measures. 

The Vessel Optimisation Platform provides a consolidated overview and deep dive analysis of key indicators for reported and predicted vessel performance. The Vessel Optimisation Platform includes insight and analysis of hull performance, long port stays/ idling periods, as well as auxiliary generator and boiler consumption. This enables Customer to follow the development of fleet fuel performance. In addition, Customer can quickly prioritize vessels with high improvement potential for action today due to variable filtering and sorting capabilities. 

The Vessel Optimisation Platform tracks the hull performance of individual vessels considering recent dry dock and cleaning events. In addition, long port stays or idle periods are monitored in the Solution and Customer i can through the Solution identify when vessels reach critically long port stays or idle periods and access a consolidated summary of risk factors for fouling caused by the long port stay/idle period. 

Similarly, the Vessel Optimisation Platform provides evaluations of daily reported auxiliary generator and boiler consumption against expected consumption for port stays and sea passages. Daily overconsumption is summarised to enable Customer to identify the patterns causing the increased consumption. 

Further, a visualisation of the speed and consumption estimates is provided together with consumption from Customer’s noon reports using Supplier's Fuel Model Solution. 

Technical requirements 

Customer is responsible for delivery of data (see below) to Supplier or making the data readily available for Supplier through APIs, SFTPs or similar as instructed by Supplier. 

Data 

Supplier requires the following data from Customer to deliver the Solution and related Cloud Services: 

  • All daily noon reports from Customer’s vessels. The noon reports must include (i) all the consumptions from Customer’s vessels per grade (ME, generators, boilers, etc.), (ii) beaufort/wind speed, reported distance over ground, speed over ground and (iii) ME RPM. All types of noon reports are required, including but not limited to sea, port, arrival and departure.
  • Vessel Information: IMO number or vessel name used to identify the vessel
  • Voyage data: Expected start date, end date and duration.
  • The last dry dock date of Customer’s vessels and all hull events since last dry dock including but not limited to partial hull cleanings, full hull cleanings and propeller polishings.
  • Customer can optionally specify sister ships in Customer’s fleet.
  • Customer can optionally specify warranted speed and consumption. Providing a fuel model benchmark based on warranted speed condition is only possible in instances where Customer has specified warranted speed and consumption.

If additional data is required for the Solution, Supplier will inform Customer. 

Third party software or data 

The Solution Vessel Optimisation Platform accesses various data sources via API to provide Customer with the functionalities set out in these Product Terms, including data from IHS Markit. 

Special conditions / third-party terms 

In order for Customer to use fuel models generated by Supplier in the Vessel Optimisation Platform, Customer must subscribe to the Solution Fuel Models and the Product Terms for the Solution Fuel Models will apply to such fuel models when used in the Vessel Optimisation Platform. 

Customer understands that it receives access to an in-development version of the Vessel Optimisation Platform. Supplier will evolve and improve the features of the Solution over time. Customer also agrees to provide feedback to Supplier regarding its experience using the in-development version of the Solution. 

Below is a list of special terms and conditions that apply to data sources provided by third parties and which Supplier is obliged to include directly in these Product Terms to use the third-party data in Vessel Optimisation Platform.
