Collaboration Between OCTARVIA Programs and MiPoLin®-- Seamless Integration of Hull Form and Tank Test Data for Onboard Monitoring and Performance Evaluation in Actual Seas --
National Maritime Research Institute (NMRI), National Institute of Maritime, Port and Aviation Technology and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., a part of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, have begun integrating the "OCTARVIA" programs developed by NMRI to evaluate and analyze ship performance in actual seas with the "MiPoLin®" power prediction and lines selection system developed by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding. The OCTARVIA programs (the ship lifecycle fuel efficiency evaluation program "OCTARVIA-web V2.1" and the actual ship monitoring data analysis program "SALVIA-OCT.-web V2.2"), which are released on NMRI cloud on June 5, 2026, allow users to import hull geometry and performance data generated by MiPoLin® into the OCTARVIA programs, enabling seamless execution of ship lifecycle fuel consumption estimates and ship performance evaluations based on ship monitoring data. Through this collaboration, NMRI and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding will promote dissemination of OCTARVIA programs and MiPoLin® and thereby support efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime sector.
