Present outcomes in shared dashboards for ship and shore, then turn insights into standards and actions. With Analytics you can track post-dry-dock gains and follow degradation trends, with data synchronized to Microsoft Azure as your single source of truth for ship performance monitoring.
Introduction
SERTICA Performance turns ship data into lower fuel costs and clearer decisions. Crews and shore see the same live picture, with geofencing and timely alerts that keep attention where it matters. Dashboards confirm the impact so improvements carry across the fleet.
Before a monitoring system, answers depended on call chains, email threads, and sending someone onboard for days to collect readings. SERTICA Performance replaces this with a shared, live view for ship and shore, so decisions move in minutes instead of days.
Operational questions that once required manual follow-up can now be checked instantly, recorded in an auditable trail, and rolled up across the fleet. If leadership asks for a fleet-wide status, you can deliver it in seconds and keep it current for daily reporting.
How to unlock fleet performance

Benefits
SERTICA Performance turns everyday sailing decisions into measurable wins. Whether your goal is to cut fuel, keep ETAs steady, strengthen discipline with geofencing and alerts, or align ship and shore around one view, a modern ship performance system helps you operate smarter across your fleet and make improvements that last.
Drive fuel savings, align ship and shore, and turn data into repeatable standards
SERTICA Performance analyzes long-term vessel data so management can act on evidence, not guesswork. Turn those insights into lower fuel use and higher machinery efficiency for real cost savings.
Today, a staggering 90% of onboard data goes unused. SERTICA puts it to work every day.
Turn everyday choices into measurable savings with performance monitoring
Fuel is one of the largest costs in vessel operations, and small inefficiencies add up on every voyage. SERTICA Performance shows ship and shore how speed, trim, and engine use affect consumption, so crews can adjust in time and keep fuel spend under control without compromising schedules.
Make the right action the easy action by monitoring vessel performance
Plans fail when guidance is hard to follow. Keep attention on what matters with simple bridge views and focused prompts aligned to roles, areas and severity. It works offline and syncs later, so crews get timely nudges on speed, fuel type or generators and see the effect in clear dashboards.
One dependable vessel performance view for ship and shore
Decisions stall when the numbers are questioned. SERTICA captures signals on board, applies plausibility checks and synchronizes securely to the cloud, so KPIs are traceable to the inputs you collect. Everyone sees the same figures; best practice becomes the standard.

FAQ
Ship performance monitoring means using everyday operating data to keep voyages consistent and fuel use low for both bridge and shore. In SERTICA Performance, data becomes practical guidance on propulsion, trim and routing, plus geofenced alerts and shared dashboards. This forms the basis of effective vessel performance monitoring across a fleet.
Pair Performance with Vessel Reporting System (VRS) for structured voyage reporting and SERTICA Logbook for manual entries, so what crews record feeds directly into the same operational picture. For a high-level view of how these capabilities scale across many vessels, see SERTICA Fleet.
A ship performance monitoring system reads onboard signals, runs plausibility checks, and presents what matters in simple bridge views and role-based dashboards. In SERTICA, this includes geofencing and alerts for timely actions, propulsion & trim guidance to keep power on target, voyage optimization to support pace and routing choices, and shore-side analytics to compare vessels and follow trends. Together, measurement, action and follow-up sit in one loop. Learn more about Geofencing & Rules Editor.
For day-to-day planning, add Voyage, and for deeper analysis and benchmarking, see Advanced Analytics.
You can start on noon reports. It works offline and syncs when connected. Adding sensors later makes guidance more precise. This hybrid path is typical for operators adopting ship performance monitoring for the first time. For structured noon entries, see SERTICA Logbook.
As your setup matures, you can bring in signals like speed, shaft power and drafts through the Data Collector to strengthen guidance and automate more alerts without changing crew routines.
Onboard implementation connects to navigation/automation systems and direct sensors via NMEA, Modbus and OPC, with optional manual inputs (e.g., fuel type, drafts) and a guided setup that overlays current routines. No rip-and-replace of bridge tooling. It connects through these interfaces and sits alongside your existing routing and logging tools. Explore the Data Collector.
When performance trends point to technical follow-ups, many operators coordinate work in maintenance system to plan inspections and interventions based on the insights.
Data flow from ship to shore uses local buffering onboard and synchronization in 5-minute aggregates to Microsoft Azure when connectivity is available. You get one view for ship and shore. If the link is weak, data queues locally and syncs when the connection returns. See how data appears in Reporting & Dashboards.
This approach keeps transmission economical while preserving trend fidelity for Advanced Analytics and stakeholder reporting. For an overview of monitoring and decision-making at fleet level, explore SERTICA Fleet.
Geofencing and alerts for ships apply area- and condition-based rules that route targeted notifications by vessel, area, role and severity. Typical use cases include ECA fuel discipline, generators in port, boiler usage, speed targets and standstill events. Geofencing turns policies into timely prompts during daily operations. Configure them in Geofencing & Rules Editor.
For broader operational governance and documentation, many operators manage related procedures in a HSQE & compliance software.
Some standard KPIs include speed, shaft power, RPM, fuel t/h, SFOC and trim angle. In SERTICA, KPIs are grounded in collected signals and manual entries with plausibility checks, and can be reviewed with references to their underlying inputs. KPIs link back to the inputs you collect, so reviews are straightforward. Compare vessels and trends with Advanced Analytics.
Dashboards in Reporting & Dashboards present the same numbers to bridge and shore, which helps decisions move faster.
Monitoring for ECA and CII supports timely actions and visibility. Geofencing and alerts help maintain fuel-type discipline in ECAs and support day-to-day practices that influence CII ratings. Results are visible in dashboards, which makes practices easier to roll out across the fleet. Read more under HSQE & compliance management.
When performance monitoring highlights degradation that affects efficiency, follow-up can be planned in Maintenance and supported by procurement workflows in SERTICA Procurement where appropriate.
