Abstract
The author has promoted and implemented the research and development of the eco-friendly electric propulsion ship “Super Eco-Ship”, weather routing for domestic vessels “Navigation Support System”, and ship allocation problem “Ship scheduling support system” from the viewpoint of operational support of domestic shipping. In other words, the following steps were taken to improve vessel operation efficiency. First, build a highly efficient vessel by adopting the latest technology and having it operated by a great master. Then, optimally allocate vessels to meet the shipper’s requests and perform effective fleet management to achieve environmental and economic benefits. Although there are other tasks such posting crew assignments or vessel maintenance, NMRI takes the viewpoint of operational support technology. This paper introduces the history on Research & Development of operational support technology for fleet-management including the evaluation methodology of transportation fleets. These technologies are expected to find application not only in coastal shipping but also in ocean going shipping.
