Release of the final version of the Fuel Consumption Reduction Investigation Application

UBITECH proudly announces the delivery of the final and significantly enhanced version of the Fuel Consumption Reduction Investigation Application it developed for ANEK shipping company in the context of the BigDataOcean project. Through the Fuel Consumption Reduction Investigation Application, ANEK is able to a) correlate the significant amount of historical data related with the draft of the vessel (directly influenced by the initial loads of fuel, diesel, water and lubricants as well as by the cargo (humans, cars and trucks loaded), with more accurate historical weather data currently not made available in the databases of the company, but retrieved from  open sources, in order to identify the correlations between those parameters; and b) exploit the more accurate near-real-time short term weather predictions made available, in order to estimate the impact that the operational decisions taken (vessel speed in knots) will have on the fuel consumption of the vessel.
