Abstract:
An exemplary method is disclosed for estimating operational efficiency of a marine vessel with 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, the method including obtaining a respective time series of values for operating parameters of the marine vessel; constructing a multi-dimensional power matrix for a first time period based on operating parameter values within a respective sub-series thereof that represents a first time period; computing, for one or more propulsion parameters, fouling values based on information stored in the power matrix and information stored in a base matrix, of a reference fouling level; and creating indications concerning operating status of the marine vessel in dependence of the fouling values.

Claim (Index 46):
A method according to  claim 45 , wherein computing the one or more fouling values comprises:\n defining one or more subgroups of cells, wherein cell positions of each subgroup are defined by a respective predefined combination of constant values of the primary and secondary operating parameters; defining one or more groups of cells that each include one or more subgroups of cells, wherein cell positions of each group are defined by a respective predefined combination of constant values of the primary operating parameters; computing, for each propulsion parameter, a respective representative propulsion parameter value for said one or more subgroups of cells based on respective propulsion parameter values associated with the cell positions of the respective subgroup in the power matrix in comparison to respective propulsion parameter values associated with the cell positions of the corresponding subgroup in the base matrix; and computing, for each propulsion parameter, a respective fouling value for said one or more groups of cells based on the one or more representative propulsion parameter values computed for the respective propulsion parameter.
