GasLog and Propulsion Analytics are set to develop a customized version of the Engine Hyper Cube platform tailored specifically for GasLog’s fleet. The platform will be enabled by Kongsberg Digital’s Vessel Insight cloud infrastructure.

The bespoke platform builds on Propulsion Analytics’ core Engine Hyper Cube application, which performs continuous engine performance analysis using high-frequency data from onboard engine sensors.

This data is integrated via Kongsberg Digital’s Vessel Insight Vessel-to-Cloud infrastructure. By synthesizing continuous engine performance analysis with insights from various other data sources, the platform reportedly enables improved engine condition assessment, optimizing performance and supporting data-driven engine maintenance decisions.

The platform aims to enhance engine availability by developing advanced diagnostics and predictive maintenance to reduce downtime and improve reliability.

It also seeks to optimize fuel efficiency, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, while integrating continuous performance monitoring with long-term data analysis. This would enable more flexible overhaul planning in line with LNG carrier trading and dry dock schedules.

“This novel platform marks a significant step forward in our efforts to provide advanced software tools which improve operational performance and reduce maintenance cost,” said Panos Kyrtatos, CEO of Propulsion Analytics.

He continued, “Our engine diagnostic expertise combined with the extensive operational experience from GasLog and the continuous data from the KDI Vessel Insight platform are a key enabler towards sustainable and efficient maritime operations.”

“Our new digital engine management platform paths the way for the realization of our long-term strategy of engine lifecycle maintenance optimization,” said GasLog’s Asset Integrity Manager, Lampros Nikolopoulos.

Further, “With such tools developed from Propulsion Analytics and enabled through Kongsberg Digital, we can target, on one hand, increased plant reliability, and on the other, the optimization of the total cost of ownership of our assets, thus maintaining our commitment to operational excellence for a sustainable future.”
