How It Works

It uses signals already available on board wherever possible, including:

RPM • Engine load • Shaft power • Speed through water • Speed over ground • Draft • Trim • Displacement • Fuel data • Weather • Current • Voyage information

The system analyses these inputs using ship-specific engineering models and continuously compares expected performance with actual performance.

Where some measurements are unavailable, PropelSense can use validated engineering estimates and alternative inputs, while displaying the confidence level of the resulting advisory.

Most importantly:

There is no control path back to the machinery or navigation system
