As a new phase of the CMP-MAP hull data analysis service that the company has been providing since 2019, CMP has announced that two elemental technologies of "CMP-MAP" have been awarded Products & Solutions (P&S) certification under Innovation Endorsement by ClassNK.
The hull data analysis service CMP-MAPaims to improve the fuel consumption during the life cycle of a ship by combining a PDCA cycle, including performance prediction and evaluation, with high-performance antifoulings.
The elemental technologies that have now been awarded P&S certification are as follows.
• PIR simulation is performed by combining "Frictional resistance estimation using 3D hull roughness analyzer and FIR theory ver 3.0" and “Changes in the performance of antifoulings over time, such as hull fouling”. The benefits of using high-performance antifoulings can be estimated in terms of reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, as well as improved CII ratings.
• Performance analysis is carried out in accordance with ISO 19030, using actual data provided directly or via a sharing platform such as IoS-OP*3. The analysis results are visualized as parameters such as average speed loss and power increase ratio, as well as the benefit applying our products on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Operational profile analysis visualizes the operational and berthing status of a vessel based on the actual data obtained from the AIS database. The results are used to propose and develop antifoulings optimized for the operational profile of each vessel.
