By employing SIMS on vessels, detailed data can be shared timely between onboard crew and land-based operation staff. Such data includes precise hourly updates on conditions of operation and fuel consumption. Thus, more efficient vessel operation and allocation can be realized based on optimal evaluation of data, including performance status such as vessel speed and fuel consumption, as well as weather conditions.
The NYK Group has recently installed SIMS on more than 130 vessels, including containerships, bulkers, car carriers, tankers, and LNG carriers. In addition, a study has been undertaken to leverage big data obtained from this system to wider applications. The NYK Group will make further efforts to improve the technological aspects of the system, upgrade data analysis skills, and employ SIMS as operational infrastructure that can meet individual needs of various types of vessels. As a result, NYK's data applications will be expanded toward gaining advantages in such areas as preventive maintenance and reducing repair costs and time-loss due to engine troubles, while at the same time achieving safer and more secure transportation.
In accordance with its "More Than Shipping 2018" medium-term management plan, the NYK Group will promote further utilization of big data in operations and strive to differentiate itself from other companies by raising its competitiveness.
