ISO 19030:2016

ISO 19030:2016 specifies methods for measuring changes in hull and propeller performance. It provides a standardized approach to monitor fuel efficiency, energy efficiency, and operational performance for ships. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization, this standard plays a vital role in optimizing marine vessel performance by reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

With rising environmental regulations and operational costs, ISO 19030 has become essential for ship owners, operators, and marine fleet managers aiming to enhance transparency, efficiency, and sustainability in maritime operations.

What is ISO 19030:2016?

ISO 19030:2016 is an internationally recognized standard titled "Ships and marine technology — Measurement of changes in hull and propeller performance."

It outlines a methodology for collecting, analyzing, and reporting performance data of a ship’s hull and propeller over time. This helps organizations determine how fouling and surface degradation affect fuel efficiency and energy consumption.

The standard is divided into three parts:

  1. Part 1: General principles
  2. Part 2: Default method
  3. Part 3: Alternative methods

ISO 19030 provides a data-driven approach to benchmarking performance and evaluating the impact of maintenance activities such as hull cleaning or propeller polishing.

Why is ISO 19030:2016 important?

The global shipping industry is under pressure to meet sustainability goals while managing costs. ISO 19030 helps organizations:

  1. Monitor hull and propeller degradation accurately.
  2. Measure the effectiveness of energy-saving technologies.
  3. Ensure compliance with environmental and energy efficiency regulations.
  4. Enhance transparency in reporting vessel performance to stakeholders.
  5. Support data-driven decision-making for maintenance schedules.

Certification demonstrates your commitment to sustainability, operational efficiency, and continuous improvement.

What are the benefits of ISO 19030:2016?

  1. Standardized Performance Metrics: Ensure consistent tracking of performance data across the fleet.
  2. Optimized Fuel Efficiency: Identify hull and propeller issues early to prevent excessive fuel use.
  3. Enhanced Regulatory Compliance: Align with IMO’s energy efficiency and environmental guidelines.
  4. Credibility in Maritime Industry: Gain trust from charterers, investors, and regulatory bodies.
  5. Lifecycle Cost Savings: Support smarter planning of hull maintenance and dry-docking.


What kind of businesses can benefit from ISO 19030:2016?

Implementing ISO 19030 offers measurable business advantages:

  1. Reduced Fuel Costs: Improved efficiency can lower fuel expenses by up to 10% annually.
  2. Increased Fleet Reliability: Proactive maintenance extends the life of critical components.
  3. Better Chartering Opportunities: Certified vessels are preferred by eco-conscious stakeholders.
  4. Data Transparency: Reliable reporting builds accountability with regulators and clients.
  5. Competitive Edge: Stay ahead in the shipping industry by showcasing operational excellence
