mtu NautIQ Foresight

mtu NautIQ Foresight is an Equipment Health Management System. It allows you to monitor and have full control over the technical condition of your vessel and your complete fleet.

mtu NautIQ Foresight

From bridge to propeller

mtu NautIQ Foresight, an Equipment Health Management System (EHMS), is an integral part of our maintenance support system, enabling condition-based data to be received, measured, processed, analyzed, and stored. Stored data can also be displayed graphically, and analyzed data used to improve operational availability and optimize maintenance costs.

mtu NautIQ Foresight collects and analyzes data from mtu systems and third party key components on the vessel, taking into account additional factors, such as navigational data. The aim is to achieve maximum vessel availability, while keeping fuel consumption and CO2 emissions to a minimum.

Improved vessel availability

The innovative system ensures maximum availability of the ship.

Peaked performance

Increases system performance through optimal interaction from „bridge to propeller“.

Optimized life cycle costs

Helps prevent unscheduled maintenance for your complete fleet.

Reduced emissions

The mtu NautIQ Foresight systems make an important contribution to reducing fuel consumption and thus emissions.

Improved vessel availability

The mtu NautIQ Foresight maintenance strategy is based on three pillars and maximizes the availability of ship and fleet.

Scheduled maintenance

Scheduled maintenance strategy contains the manufacturer's maintenance specifications according to the agreed load profile.

Predictive maintenance

Predictive maintenance strategy performs analysis with real-time and long-term data as well as data of an ideal system condition and reports anomalies to the crew.

Corrective maintenance

In the event of an alarm, corrective maintenance strategy supports the crew with fault tree analysis, videos and related documentation.

Peaked performance

Monitoring of fuel oil consumption and measurement of torque is the first step to building up the knowledge about the current vessel status. In combination with the health monitoring data, the performance of the vessel can be analysed and improved. With the aid of weather and navigation data, conclusions can be drawn about the hull condition. Additionally, the optimal speed can be determined. Performance monitoring system enables fuel cost optimisation and contributes to reduced emissions.

Optimized life cycle costs

Maximized availability and peaked performance optimize life cycle costs. Due to the improved planability, downtimes are reduced to a minimum and unplanned maintenance is turned into planned maintenance.

Reduced emissions

mtu NautIQ Foresight bundles all ship operational data in one system. The combination of engine, power generation, draft and weather data enable in-depth analytics of the vessel's movement and its performance. In the next step, the operation of the vessel can be adjusted in order to run the asset and its equipment efficiently and therefore in an environment-friendly manner.

HVO makes the difference

by Jonathan Rowland

Since 1 January 2023, it has been mandatory for commercial harbor craft operating in Californian waters to run on HVO instead of fossil diesel. The Golden Gate Ferrys in San Francico have been pioneering the use of HVO, also known as renewable diesel, since May 2019. A field report.
