'K' Line in joint development of new management system
JAPAN'S "K" Line and Kawasaki Heavy Industries have developed "K-IMS", an integrated vessel operation and performance management system to improve vessel safety and environmental standards.
The new system is based on two existing systems already installed. The existing systems are "SPAS" (Ship Performance Analysing System) which is the electrical AB log and vessel performance analysed, and "EP-Monitor" (Engine Plant Monitor), which is a remote monitoring system for the ship's engine.
"We have made it a new system by integrating developed "EP-Monitor" which has become able to collect and observe all kinds of operation data including navigation data and "NAVI' (Optimum Navigation System), which we have newly adopted.
"Integrating these individual systems enables us to utilise the real-time operation data from vessels, so-called Big data, in mutual systems and also enables us to support vessel operation and manage vessel performance in an easy way by grasp of real-time vessel operating conditions," the shipping line said.
