Cut emissions with
fixed itineraries incompetitive routes

Complex reportingand compliance

Solution: Not justdata, but precise
data-driven toolsthat support:✓ Clear decision-making✓ Predictable andplanned operations

Information gap
between ship &shoreside

Ensuring safety of
all operations ina hecticenvironment

1:

Cut emissions with
fixed itineraries
in competitive routes
Fixed itineraries mean very little scope forroute-based voyage optimisation.

Possible Solution(s):✓ Deadweight management: Optimal
bunkering &/or cargo-loading to optimize
floating position & save fuel.
✓ Voyage comparisons and performancebenchmarking with data simulations.
✓ Route suitability based on collectedvoyage data can also be used in newbuilding performance simulations.

Case Examples:2:Complex reportingand Compliance
Factors like crossing multiple jurisdictions in ashort time, complicated customs and stricter
environmental regulations near densely
populated waters present added complexities
for ferries.
Possible Solution(s):✓ Electronic record-keeping for easy,
automated and error-free data collection.
✓ Cloud-based fleet data management for
integrating, standardising and simplifying
reporting and compliance.

Case Examples:3:

Information gap
between ship & shore
Compared to cruises, ferries typically operate withsmaller crews and fewer resources onshore
and gaps in communication create operational
inefficiencies.
Possible Solution(s):✓ Cloud-based data platform to ease informationexchange & streamline planning✓ Comprehensive vessel profiles of the whole fleet.
✓ Integrated data intelligence platform as adigital FOC.
✓ Cross-analysis of operational, commercial, technical,
and safety performance on a single platform.
✓ Continuous monitoring and faster emergency
response

Case Examples:

4:

Ensuring safety ofoperations in hecticenvironment
From multiple arrivals & departures in a day
to frequent loading/unloading
while maintaining procedures and various
safety parameters present a challenging
work environment for ferries and RoPax.
Possible Solution(s):✓ Simulating & comparing voyage plans for
multiple dockings.
✓ Real-time stability and voyage monitoring onboard and onshore.
✓ Adaptable weight distribution planning for'unknown cargo'.

9✓ Electronic checklists that easedaily standard procedures.

Case Examples:Data to simulate a safer
and sustainable future:
Evaluating and validating long-term strategies like new ship designs, energy-efficiency
systems and future fuels.

napa.fiData to predict, test
and plan ahead
Changing fuels or installing a new energy system
will likely impact a ship’s structural strength,
intact stability, damage stability, deadweight
management, as well as voyage optimization
possibilities. Data analysis and modellingcapabilities can be a cost-effective and riskfree way to test these technologies even before
piloting.
What's possible:✓ Simulate the introduction of new techs likescrubbers, batteries, propulsion systems,
new fuels, and better ship designs.
✓ Check technical viability✓ Test design and safety viability

11✓ Validate performance and costeffectiveness
