Digital Noon Report - the first step to working with vessel data

Shipping operations involve a number of varying parameters and derivatives, each having an influential role in performance, efficiency, and sustainability. Therefore, it becomes crucial to monitor all variable sets of data of a voyage. The noon report does that errand

Shipping operations involve a number of varying parameters and derivatives, each having an influential role in performance, efficiency, and sustainability. Therefore, it becomes crucial for the crew members on board, ship operators, shore personnel, and ship owners to record and monitor all variable sets of data of a particular voyage. The noon report does that errand.

It is a report prepared by the Chief Engineer on-board with the assistance of a deck officer, which is further sent to shore personnel by the master on a daily basis. A typical noon report incorporates the following details:
  • Name, voyage number, date, and time of the report.

  • Position of the ship fetched through Automatic Identification System (AIS) onboard

  • Average Speed since last noon report

  • Propeller Revolution since last noon report

  • Average RPM of the engines

  • Direction and Force of Wind

  • General Sea and Swell Conditions at the time of preparing noon report

  • Distance from the Next Destination Port

  • Estimated time of Arrival (ETA) to the next Port of Call

  • ROB (Remaining Onboard Chart)- prepared by Chief Engineer onboard to keep track of fuel oil/ lube oil/water on the ship.

There are constant inputs of a huge number of variable data onboard through noon reports which are meant to serve various purposes:
  • The data on noon reports form the basis of calculating voyage profitability, the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator, and vessel performance. Moreover, it is also used by the shipping companies for monitoring and analyzing the performance of two sister ships which induces an ecosystem for technical improvements.

  • Noon Reports keep track of consumption of fuel oil/lube oil/ water and help to plan port bunkering and operations for both crew members and shore personnel accordingly.

  • As the noon reports carry data on the cargoes carried, distance from the next port of call, and ETA it assists port authorities for efficient stowage plans, the passage of the ship, and other modalities.
Moreover, the noon reports acting as the reservoir of historical data for reference add more vitality to vessel operations.

For decades, noon reports have served as the ultimate source for all data inputs related to vessel performance. Accurate speed and consumption models owe an influential part in the commercial aspect of shipping operations.

Let us know why noon reports are not enough for shipping operations:

  • Low-resolution data.

  • Prone to errors due to a variety of sensors exposed to poor maintenance, operational ambiguity, and dependent on crew members' credibility.

  • Uncertainty of data due to factors neglected in traditional reports- environmental effects, engine degradation, etc.
The most rigid and structured noon reports even prepared by the most skilled crews do not form the contextual basis for generating speed & consumption curves. Unreliable speed power curves could lead to inaccurate performance and propulsion efficiency analysis and weak decision-making algorithms. This would ultimately impact the commercial yield of the vessel and ship management.

Digital Noon reports, in their entirety, are a more credible source for shipping operations. Digital Noon reports are prepared with the help of AIS, collecting real-time data from the sensors, and integrating the same with weather reports to generate a more viable performance indicator.

Let us know why digital noon reports are a better option:
  • High-frequency sampling.

  • Access to more data than noon reports.

  • Noon reports data took hours to collate while digital reports auto-feed the data. Moreover, it also produces instantaneous reports on various sets which aid for predictive maintenance.

  • Research at Hellenic Institute of Marine Technology comparing 162 Noon reports and equivalent 4016 Continuous Monitoring Records concluded that NR data provide less statistically reliable results than those of the CMS.

  • In a study conducted by University College London and Hyundai Heavy Industries, the results showed noon report-based speed and consumption curves to be 15-20% less accurate than continuous monitoring reporting.

  • In the HHI study, noon-reported weather was erroneously reported 68% of the time when compared to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hindcast Data in BF4.
Digital noon reports give us a more reliable set of data that acts as a true basis for performance metrics citing real-time factors, weather conditions, engine and equipment's conditions independent of any exposure to human error. Hence, it could be of great use in:

1. Vessel Performance Analysis

2. Inspection, surveys and predictive maintenance.

3. Can be utilised for technologies like Digital Twin, Fuel Optimisation Technology etc for inducing more efficiency to the fleet.

4. Managing a range of operations both onboard and shore- bunkering, chartering, stowage plans, lng operations etc.
    Let us know more of companies that provide digital noon reports and have revolutionised the way to report voyage:
