Finding ship efficiency with HydroComp NavCad hydrodynamic analysis software: Part 3

Tuesday, June 27, 2017
9:30 AM to 10:00 AM (Eastern Time)

Finding ship efficiency with NavCad powering software - Part 3: Evaluating options

This final Part 3 of the webinar series will demonstrate how some examples of retrofit or maintenance activities can offer real cost savings. Opportunities to find efficiency are very attainable – you just need the tools to credibly determine the impact of these activities against your established baseline. A few examples of the quick and simple steps to use NavCad Premium to find ship efficiency will include engine replacement, addition of a bulbous bow, and hull cleaning or coating.

Finding ship efficiency with HydroComp NavCad hydrodynamic analysis software: Part 2

Tuesday, June 20, 2017
9:30 AM to 10:00 AM (Eastern Time)

Finding ship efficiency with NavCad powering software - Part 2: Energy metrics for ship operation

In Part 1 of this webinar series, we created a performance baseline. Then next step to saving fuel and reducing maintenance costs is to expand the baseline project with the ship’s duty profile, and to characterize energy and fuel use with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Part 2 of this three-part webinar series will introduce quick and simple steps within NavCad Premium to define a duty profile based on operating modes and to calculate a variety of KPIs for a ship in service.

Finding ship efficiency with HydroComp NavCad hydrodynamic analysis software: Part 1

Tuesday, June 13, 2017
9:30 AM to 10:00 AM (Eastern Time)

Finding ship efficiency with NavCad powering software - Part 1: Creating a baseline model

HydroComp NavCad has many technical features to help ship operators (or their consultants) assess hull and propeller performance, and find efficiency in their fleet. The first step to saving fuel and reducing maintenance costs is to establish a sound and valid baseline. Part 1 of this three-part webinar series will introduce quick and simple steps to create, calibrate, and validate a baseline performance model with NavCad Premium for a ship in service.
