Can Your Fuel Table Account for Wind, Waves, and Currents?

Optimize Fuel Efficiency with Real-Time Data

Miros’ Dynamic Fuel Table leverages high-frequency data from advanced radar-based sensors, enabling operators to accurately calculate, monitor, and manage fuel consumption in real-time.

Traditional fuel tables, created during the design phase and adjusted after sea trials, often fail to reflect real-world fuel consumption due to external factors like wind, currents, waves, or later vessel modifications.

With precise efficiency data across your vessel’s full operating range, you can enhance your commercial and competitive edge while improving sustainability.

By continuously measuring real Speed Through Water (STW) and adjusting for environmental forces, operators can optimize vessel speed, routing, and fuel consumption planning, leading to significant cost savings and lower emissions. This ensures fuel calculations and planning will be based on true, accurate, and actionable insights.

Why Dynamic Fuel Table?

Due to highly accurate speed-through-water measurements, the system eliminates errors from traditional log sensors and enables real-time fuel optimization.

The dynamic fuel table helps to adjust fuel consumption estimates based on real-time data, such as weather, load, speed, and hull fouling. This allows ship operators to optimize speed and routing, leading to significant fuel cost reductions.

With its ability to track and optimize vessel performance, the application allows shipowners to reduce excess fuel consumption leading to lower CO₂ emissions. This helps to comply with IMO regulations like EEXI and CII and facilitates reporting for environmental certifications and regulatory audits.

The dynamic fuel table supports greener shipping strategies and ESG commitments by optimizing fuel efficiency and reducing carbon footprint.

The system validates the effectiveness of Energy-Saving Devices (ESDs) and hull or propeller modifications by providing transparent, evidence-based performance metrics that allow benchmarking across vessels and fleets, helping operators identify best practices and areas for improvement.

Unlike static fuel tables, which rely on fixed assumptions, a dynamic system adapts to actual operating conditions, improving accuracy in voyage planning. This helps shipping companies better predict fuel needs and avoid unnecessary bunkering stops.

Also, by eliminating reliance on underwater sensors, the system minimizes maintenance and biofouling issues, enhances data-driven decision-making to cut unnecessary fuel consumption, and reduces OPEX by optimizing vessel speed and routing based on real-time sea conditions.

By delivering objective performance data, the solution enables performance-based charter party contracts, can ensure fuel savings benefit all stakeholders, and can reduce disputes over vessel efficiency with clear, sensor-driven insights.

More accurate fuel data leads to better cost estimation for charters and freight customers. A dynamic fuel table helps avoid unexpected fuel surcharges and improves trust in cost projections.
