Abstract

This paper is devoted to studying the structure and prospects of ship operations analysis and optimization via mobile applications, focusing on integrating multiple existing onboard monitoring and control systems. The main parts of the paper describe the current state of the most essential components of future overall shipping and ship design optimization using onboard and cloud-based monitoring systems from a dual transition point of view. Special attention is paid to the ship’s and its equipment’s efficiency improvements, fuel consumption and emissions reduction, cost-effectiveness enhancement, metrological accuracy, and compliance with current regulations. Timely development and deployment of the proposed onboard monitoring systems, in combination with up-to-date mobile applications and cloud computing, should play a crucial role in promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly shipping practices, improving operational performance, and reducing risks to human life at sea and the environmental impact of shipping. Another objective of this research is to review the current state of infrastructure used for fuel control, focusing on measurement systems and related analytics using appropriate mobile applications. The recommendations for integrating new and adopting existing monitoring systems and equipment for promising alternative fuels must be given to meet current regulations and provide required safety levels and measurement quality.
