Voyages

The Marorka Voyages Unit gives a comprehensive overview of the current and past voyages.  It is used to create points in time, which are used to divide data between voyages and legs, to analyze data and to perform certain functions on data, such as accumulation and averaging. This is the basis for the generation of energy-focused reports for individual legs or entire voyages.

Effective leg and voyage planning is important when optimizing the ship's energy efficiency. In many cases, significant fuel savings are attainable by effective planning of the sea passage. The optimum route and improved efficiency can be achieved through the careful planning and execution of voyages.

Key features of the Voyages Unit:

• Route administration

• Current voyage and leg overview

• Past voyages and leg overview

Route administration is used by the crew officers to plan legs, voyages and waypoints between harbors. The planning includes the timeframe for sailing between harbors and the waypoints between them. The waypoints between ports can be added automatically from ECDIS or added manually.

The Marorka Voyages Unit

The voyage and leg overview provides a comprehensive overview of the vessel's current leg. It provides leg-related functions such as tracking the route way-points and starting new legs.

The Voyages Unit stores all past voyage and leg data so the user can compare and benchmark similar voyages or legs.

The Voyages Unit also gives means to easily register and keep track of the operational states of the vessel using the State Manager. The registration of operational states is one of the basis for the generation of energy-focused reports.

The operational states mark the beginning and end of sailed legs. The main states are “Sea Passage”, “Port” and “Other State”. Using the state registration, all data can be analyzed with respect to different operational states, and functions, such as accumulation and averaging, may be applied for each state over certain time periods.

The state information is used in reporting, both in leg reports and in reports for chosen time periods.
