The shipping industry’s adoption of smart technology risks being undermined by the crew’s ability to understand the information the tech provides, according to Glueckstadt, Germany-headquartered Condition Monitoring Technologies GmbH ( CMT). The company, a provider of engine performance analytics and training, has warned that crews are increasingly under-equipped to interpret the growing volume of diagnostics data produced onboard modern vessels.
“Ship operators are buying monitoring equipment,” David Fuhlbrügge, CMT’s managing director, said, “but crews are being asked to make critical engine operation and maintenance decisions based on diagnostic outputs they don’t fully understand.”
As shipowners invest in sensors and predictive maintenance tools to improve performance, reliability and reduce downtime, CMT said many are missing the point that someone must still understand the data and act on it.
Several independent studies appear to support this view, says CMT, noting that in Navigating the Sea of Data: A Comprehensive Review on Data
