Reduced fuel consumption
As fuel consumption is a major cost factor, the use of Kyma performance monitoring systems can contribute significantly to an improved bottom line.
Hull fouling and propeller roughness indication
Kyma performance monitoring makes it possible to evaluate the economic impact of reduced propeller efficiency and increased hull resistance. It can show the effect of any action taken to improve hull or propeller smoothness.
Overload protection
Early warning signals provide a further benefit for the continuous monitoring of propulsion components. These can indicate the overload stress on components and thus prevent unexpected breakdown.
To achieve optimum operation without overloading can also prolong the operating life of components -giving better total economy and improving the return on investment.

Performance evaluation
Contracts for newbuildings are based on performance estimates from model tank testing. Kyma performance ponitoring systems can confirm precisely the contract performance parameters or specify any deviations.
Kyma Performance Monitoring, a three-step system package
Kyma can supply a total system concept for ship performance monitoring. It consists of three configuration levels, ranging from propeller propulsion data to fully integrated computer measurements of all energy transfer from fuel flow input to ship speed.
The three configurations can be installed in a complete set or individually, according to requirements.
1. Kyma Power Meter, KPM.P
2. Kyma Power Meter model PFS, KPM.PFS
3. Kyma Ship Performance, KSP |
