The natural accumulation of biological material on the hulls of marine vessels can negatively impact fuel efficiency and lead to increased emissions. Working with local shipping company Carisbrooke Shipping, Professor Alain Zemkoho’s group in Mathematics have developed mathematical models, based on historical voyage data, to predict growth and optimise vessel cleaning strategies.
SRSG RSEs developed a robust, secure and scalable web application – SeaFlInt (Sea FLeet Intelligence) that enables commercial partners to take advantage of the predictive power of Prof. Zemkoho’s model and visualise voyages and ship performance through an intuitive user interface.
