Captain Display 2.0 – Next-Level Guidance and Performance

The new update introduces a start/stop button, making it easier to track vessel performance based on the selected voyage or segment duration. The display maintains its core functions, including destination selection, target time, and operation mode selection. The dashboard is equipped with alarms, signals, and other essential features to enhance situational awareness. In addition to the redesigned dashboard, the update introduces two new gauges,the speed gauge and the fuel gauge,providing operators with deeper insights into vessel efficiency and overall performance.

Smarter Vessel Operations

The newly integrated Speed Gauge and Fuel Gauge provide real-time insights into vessel speed and fuel consumption. By visualizing how speed adjustments affect fuel efficiency, operators can make data-driven decisions to optimize performance. The dashboard includes customizable metric cards such as Fuel Now, CO₂ Emissions Now, and CO₂ Emissions per Leg, all adjustable via the settings menu.

The Speed Gauge enables captains to optimize fuel efficiency and travel time by predicting the impact of speed changes on fuel usage and estimated time of arrival. Leveraging AI and historical data, it continuously refines its recommendations to support smarter voyage planning. Meanwhile, the Fuel Gauge presents real-time fuel consumption levels and indicates whether current usage aligns with expectations. It also highlights trip-based statistics, showing variations in fuel use per nautical mile.

There are two operational modes ensuring that insights are tailored to the nature of the vessel's activity. The Non-Repeatable Mode offers a broad overview of vessel performance, ideal for diverse or irregular operations. The Repeatable Mode is designed for consistent routes, such as ferries, using historical data to enhance efficiency and safety.

Navigate with Precision

The updated Captain Display delivers enhanced operational control through a refined design, intelligent gauges, and real-time performance insights. With new and improved features, operators gain greater visibility into vessel efficiency, enabling more informed, data-driven decisions. By combining AI-powered analytics with an intuitive interface, the latest Captain Display empowers captains and fleet managers to navigate smarter, cut costs, and support a more sustainable maritime future.

Shaping the Future of Vessel Performance

The latest Captain Display update offers powerful tools to optimize fuel efficiency and vessel performance. With the new Speed and Fuel Gauges, captains can monitor real-time efficiency, adjusting speed for the best balance between fuel savings and travel time. Customizable metrics, including CO₂ tracking, help operators meet sustainability goals.

The introduction of Non-Repeatable and Repeatable Modes ensures data-driven insights for both irregular and consistent operations, improving efficiency and safety. These updates empower operators to reduce costs, lower emissions, and enhance overall vessel performance.

Cetasol remains committed to continuous innovation, with more updates on the way to provide even greater control and insights for maritime operators.
