How does your ship benchmark on performance, cost and environment?

Purpose

We benchmark your vessels, your ship designs or projects on technical aspects, energy efficiency and environmental performance in a transport system setting.

Benefits

DNV offers services to assist you in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your vessel. Your chosen design may be benchmarked against any given set of reference ships on:

• Ship particulars and performance data
• Transport capacity
• Total operational fuel efficiency
• Environmental performance

Fuel- and environmental efficiency is calculated in a transport system context using either standard Operating Profiles or profiles matching the (intended) trade of the vessel.

The IMO Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships leads to increased attention to balancing speed and energy consumption with ship capacity. DNV may provide you with the EEDI for your design based on actual or indicated values.

Owners seeking to be market leaders and promote an environmental profile need to increase their awareness of ship design performance, environmental performance and carbon footprint. DNV’s expertise will help you identify potential sub-standard performance and improvement opportunities.

Our approach

Vital for any statistical calculation or benchmarking is valid background material. Co-operating with your company on technical and operational data for your ship, DNV can benchmark it against ship data retrieved from our own Class databases or other external sources as required. Our teams consisting of naval architects and logistics experts will provide you with the benchmarks reflecting the competitiveness relative performance and of your ship concept and the analyses to help you improve the performance even more.
