Multi-Sensor Data Fusion for the Vessel Trim Analyzer and Optimization Platform

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe a platform and the multi-sensor Data Fusion., that is used to analyze the power consumed regarding the Vessel's trim during past Voyages and to provide decision making support about the trim for futures Voyages. Platform collects data from several resources., including live data from sensors, aggregates, and analyses them. Platform also provides simplified user interfaces and indicators to the maritime company's specialized personnel and the Vessel's Captain and Chief Engineer for best 'trimming' selection. Maran Tankers Management Inc. is a maritime company that uses the described platform for more than forty (40) Tanker Vessels. © 2019 IEEE.
