Project Roadmap

Organizations seeing their financial return from superior marine energy management strive to improve their energy efficiency and performance.

Step 1: Commit to improvements

1. set up energy team

2. found an energy policy

As needed, ship surveys are conducted to identify energy savings opportunities, prioritize projects, evaluate the effectiveness of previous conservation measures and measure the progress toward goals.

Step 2: Assess performance

1. ship survey and data collection

2. preliminary goal setting

3. energy cost accounting

4. energy efficiency calculations

5. create report on next steps and benefits

6. energy program budgeting

A ship efficiency management plan should establish proposed energy reduction goals and strategies, list key personnel and their responsibilities, establish procedures for monitoring and reporting energy consumption, and identify training and auditing requirements.

Step 3: Creation of ship efficiency management plan

1. establish an energy management team

2. institute an energy policy

3. establish the energy efficiency plan

4. set goals

For each energy producer and consumer, energy consumption data must be tracked to measure the performance towards achieving energy and cost reduction goals. Marorka’s onboard energy management systems are used to monitor, record and report on vessels’ efficiency indices, CO2 indiced, energy costs, energy consumption, and power production. Marorka’s Maren Energy Management System is equipped with decision support for a number of different energy systems.Step 4: Install energy management system

1. install energy management system

2. base line and benchmark

3. implement full scale decision support tool onboard each ship

4. connect the ships-to-fleet management software

5. create a methodology for follow up and create new goals

6. train employees and rais awareness

Step 7: Daily, weekly, monthly and annual analyses

1. receive daily, weekly, monthly and annual reports (automatically generated)

2. act on deviation in performance

3. look at daily performance of the fleet

Step 8: Energy audits

4. perform annual energy audits

5. create new performance goals

The main actors in reaching energy efficiency goals should be awarded. Causes for not reaching the goals should be identified and addressed accordingly.

Step 9: Operations and maintenance

1. act on poor operational performance

2. act on poor maintenance performance

3. awards and recognition
