Abstract:
An exemplary method for a marine vessel having a propeller mounted to a rotatable shaft for converting rotative shaft power transferred from the shaft to the propeller into thrust to propel the marine vessel across water, includes obtaining measurement values that are descriptive of the shaft power, the thrust and speed through water of the marine vessel; separately estimating at least one of first excess shaft power caused by fouling of the propeller and second excess shaft power caused by fouling of the hull of the marine vessel; and issuing an indication of propeller cleaning in dependence of the first excess shaft power and hull cleaning in dependence of the second excess shaft power.

Claim (Index 28):
A diagnostics system according to  claim 27 , wherein said first and second predefined reference conditions are different conditions, and comprise at least one of the following:\n a condition where a propeller is substantially clean; or a condition where a hull of the marine vessel is substantially clean.
