PPG HullNav™
PPG HullNav™: PPG's innovative hull performance management toolkit.
Helping ship owners to navigate their efficiency and reach their sustainability targets.
Hull condition monitoring is vital for maintaining vessel efficiency, and with PPG's HullNav™, ship owners and operators can now take charge of their underwater hull performance and proactively identify fouling risks to save on fuel, lower GHG emissions and minimize the transfer of invasive species.
PPG HullNav will enable better decision-making regarding vessel efficiency, operational performance and hull management.
In short, PPG HullNav helps to:
- Timely manage and control vessel hull efficiency
- Optimize a vessel's operational control and reduce the expenses
- Save on GHG emissions as well as supporting GHG regulation compliance
PPG HullNav toolkit includes the following services:
Each of the services can be used as a standalone module or as a complete all-inclusive service packaging.
Hull efficiency monitoring
Regular monitoring of the hull's condition is essential for optimal performance. With our hull efficiency tracking KPIs, following the ISO 19030 method, ship owners and operators will be able to identify performance degradation in a timely manner and take action to reduce GHG emissions and minimize the transfer of invasive species.
Operational intelligence
With the PPG HullNav operational intelligence module, shipowners and operators can now view the performance of individual vessels or entire fleets monitoring the operational variables that affect the hull performance, and benchmarking performance against selected market segments. The intelligence module also features fouling risk reporting, utilizing predictive algorithms with AIS position and oceanographic data, to identify and monitor fouling risk and pressure.
Alerting system
PPG HullNav alerting system covers multiple parameters to optimize a vessel's performance. Including fouling risk exposure, idling at ports, idling temperature, activity and port calls. The need for action is assessed in collaboration with PPG experts, to ensure hull performance stays at its peak.
Bespoke advisory
Shipowners and operators can leverage PPG's expertise in hull efficiency through the HullNav bespoke advisory. They will benefit from actionable recommendations based on the insights from our HullNav performance management toolkit. This empowers them to make data-driven decisions that significantly enhance the performance and efficiency of their vessels.
