Vessel Sea Sickness Monitoring: For commercial vessel operators, ensuring passenger comfort is more than a courtesy – it’s a critical part of operations. Whether you’re running passenger ferries, Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs), Service Operation Vessels (SOVs), or crew boats, passenger well-being directly impacts the success of your mission.
Operators of offshore wind farms and oil and gas platforms face a unique challenge: delivering technicians to their offshore work sites, not only safely but also in a fit state to transfer and perform their duties effectively. Seasickness, brought on by vessel motion, can significantly impair passenger and crew performance, morale, and safety.
That’s why BareFLEET, AST Reygar’s advances Vessel Motion Monitoring System (VMMS), now includes cutting-edge sea sickness monitoring capabilities.
BareFLEET continuously monitors vessel motion in accordance with ISO standards, evaluating the Motion Sickness Index (MSI) experienced by passengers and crew. Motion data is collected onboard the vessel and transmitted back to shore, providing a comprehensive dataset that can be analysed across fleets and over extended periods.
By contextualising this data within various operational scenarios – such as different sea states, vessel routes – operators can gain actionable insights into ride comfort. This enables a relative comparison of vessel and crew performance, revealing patterns that can guide operational improvements.
One of BareFLEET’s standout features is its real-time feedback dashboard, displayed onboard for crew members. The dashboard shows live MSI feedback alongside a target comfort threshold. Armed with this data, crews can make informed adjustments to vessel speed, heading, or course to improve passenger and crew comfort during the journey.
In addition to enhancing comfort, these adjustments can align with other operational goals, such as improving fuel efficiency, or minimising wear and tear on the vessel.
BareFLEET’s sea sickness monitoring feature is integrated with its impact and whole-body vibration monitoring capabilities, offering operators a comprehensive Vessel Motion Monitoring System (VMMS). This synergy allows for a broader understanding of the forces acting on the vessel and their impact on passenger comfort, vessel performance, and structural condition.
The value of BareFLEET extends far beyond individual voyages. Over time, the aggregated data provides insights into fleet-wide trends, enabling operators to:
For passengers, an uncomfortable journey can result in a negative experience. For crew and technicians, seasickness can hinder their ability to work effectively, creating potential safety risks and operational inefficiencies. By addressing this critical aspect of marine operations, AST Reygar’s BareFLEET system equips operators with the tools to prioritise comfort whilst maintaining operational excellence.
With BareFLEET’s sea sickness monitoring, AST Reygar is helping commercial vessel operators redefine passenger and crew comfort. Real-time MSI feedback, integrated motion monitoring, and fleet-wide data insights ensure that every voyage is safer, more efficient, and more comfortable.
Explore how BareFLEET can revolutionise your marine operations strategy – because passenger and crew comfort isn’t just detail – it’s a mission-critical priority.
