In order to accurately predict the impact of different fouling control coatings on the ship's power requirements, Intertrac Vision incorporates knowledge of hull roughness (micro and macro) and “roughness†associated with biofouling, using different ship types. Results of computational fluid dynamics studies. Overall, Intertrac Vision is made up of hundreds of databases and is the shipping industry's first big data solution to accurately predict the performance of coating technology before construction.
It is reported that as a free consulting service for shipowners and ship operators, Intertrac Vision tools have data on individual ships entered during the consultation process, and then use multiple patented algorithms and models to accurately and individually evaluate each Potential fouling controls the impact of coatings selected over a specified service period. Key data generated by Intertrac Vision include different ship power requirements, fuel consumption, fuel costs, CO2 emissions projections and complete cost-benefit analysis with different coating and surface treatment options.
Michael Hindmarsh, head of Intertrac Vision, said: “When choosing the most effective hull coating technology for a ship, you have an accurate understanding of the return on investment before buying, which is the key to the decision-making process. It can help save fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. It plays a key role in the ship's profitability and sustainability. Therefore, before construction, ship owners hope to see the evidence of the benefits. Through Intertrac Vision, we It brings a new level of transparency and choice to the industry, working with customers to ensure that every ship in their fleet selects the most efficient and suitable coating solution."
Tristan Smith, a lecturer at the University of London's Energy Research Institute and co-contributor to Intertrac Vision, said: "All technology providers, including hull coating manufacturers, have long claimed that their solutions offer potential fuel savings and reduced emissions. However, shipowners have always been skeptical about performance predictions. The lack of accurate and transparent data to support the statistical results is the initial reason for us to start this research. As one of the major academic contributors to Intertrac Vision, our The goal is to lead the industry to a new and robust era of rigorous analysis, helping to improve rationality in the hull coating selection process. This will help shipowners explore the “if...will...†and uncertainty in performance predictions, and Enable them to make the right decisions with more information based on key variables that affect the performance of paints that affect fouling."
It is understood that Akzo Nobel has officially launched Intertrac Vision after extensive and in-depth research and development with the shipping industry to further enhance the understanding of the impact of fouling control coatings on ship performance. This includes the latest research on average hull roughness. The concept of average hull roughness was first proposed by Dr. Robert Townsin of Newcastle University in the 1980s and has been in use ever since.
Dr. Barry Kidd, Fluid Dynamics Manager, AkzoNobel Marine Coatings Business, said: "The original Intertrac system was the first tool for the shipping industry to analyze ship historical operational data and understand the ship's fouling challenges in different waters. A tool has prompted more discussion on the topic of fouling control coating performance, and further research is needed to provide scientific models that provide immediate, clear and transparent performance comparison predictions. Intertrac Vision can do this to make the ship Donghe Shipping Operations Co., Ltd. has a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the economic and environmental analysis of coatings prior to construction, making informed choices about fouling control coatings with more information.
“Intertrac Vision uses state-of-the-art technology and we will continue to research and develop to ensure that this tool is always up-to-date and relevant to the latest market dynamics in the shipping industry. To support this feat, we are happy to be more interested. The third party and the ship operating company have launched new cooperation to further develop Intertrac Vision and support the further improvement of ship efficiency."
