he ‘Optimum Dynamic Speed’ program developed by Blue Skies Smart Sailing calculates the optimum speed based on the ship specific speed-fuel consumption data, the actual fuel prices (High and low sulphur taken into account) and freight rates.

The ‘Idle time to cash Converter’ is a tool which should be used in the executional phase of the voyage and will re-calculate the optimum speed to prosecute the voyage leg in case there is any idle time in the sailing original schedule which can be converted in to fuel savings.

If properly implemented, these two programs will contribute to a more efficient exploitation of any vessel and thus increase its earning potential. Furthermore it will give the user a competitive advantage over their competitors who do not use these advanced scientific programs!

With fluctuations in fuel prices and or freight rates, the Optimum Speed/consumption combination for the same voyage will be different. The basis for the program is an adaptive, dynamic scientific method to determine the Optimum Speed/consumption combination to achieve the maximum TCE for any given voyage.
