Why working with baselines makes so much sense to improve fleet performance?
A solid method to see the status and development of vessel or fleet performance is to compare the actual measured values with the expected ones. The expected ones are typically available for fleet performance in what we call "baselines". They can com ...
When to go for a more extensive and dense vessel baselines
Vessel baselines are key for performance management as they allow to compare actual measured values against the expected ones, represented in the baseline. Vessel typically come with two baselines from the yard, that describe the needed power and / o ...
