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 32):
A diagnostics system according to  claim 31 , wherein the second excess shaft power is estimated using an equation: P D , h \ue8a0 ( t h ) = P D \ue8a0 ( t h ) \u00b7 ( 1 - T \ue8a0 ( t s ) T \ue8a0 ( t h ) ) , where P D,h  (t h ) denotes the second excess shaft power, P D  (t h ) denotes the shaft power at the second moment of time, T(t s ) denotes the thrust specified for said speed through water in the second predefined reference condition and T(t h ) denotes the thrust at the second moment of time.
