OCTOPUS-Onboard is extended with a module that constitutes a new dynamic approach to voyage planning. It combines onboard measurements and forecasts with a new algorithm which will assist the Master to reach the destination by choosing the route with the lowest resistance and cruising with the optimal speed. Furthermore the crew and for that matter the office ashore will obtain a clear view of the hull performance of the vessel throughout its lifecycle.
Large international companies like Dockwise, CMA CGM en Jumbo Shipping are using OCTOPUS-onboard. Together with these companies, Amarcon is continuously working on refining the system, tailored to the individual wishes of these companies.
