How to Improve Fleet Performance & Efficiency — ISO 19030

A ShipIT 2021 talk on improving fleet performance and efficiency, and how the ISO 19030 standard provides a disciplined way to measure changes in hull and propeller performance.

The relevant segment starts at 5:34.

A talk from the ShipIT 2021 conference on improving fleet performance and efficiency — and how ISO 19030 gives operators a consistent, data-driven way to measure hull and propeller performance over time. The segment featuring Christos Papandreou begins at 5:34 in the recording.

What the talk covers

  • From theory to practice: what it actually takes to implement ISO 19030 inside a fleet-performance programme, not just understand it.
  • Speed loss as the headline KPI: comparing a vessel's expected (baseline) performance against measured speed and power.
  • Data filtering & validation: systematic rules to discard noisy, inconsistent or impossible readings — because garbage in means garbage out.
  • Building the ISO KPIs: in-service performance, maintenance-trigger and dry-dock values to track hull and propeller condition over time, shown through two real case studies.
  • Is it worth it? a cost–benefit view — effort versus transparency, charterer trust, and fuel savings — plus hull & propeller best practice (paint-spec compliance, minimum speed/activity, avoiding idle time in hot/shallow waters, timely cleaning).
