Since the merchant ship is a cost-effective vehicle, all machinery and systems must be operated efficiently and economically. The Crew of the ships are responsible to kip in mine that energy saving is essential and must be take into account as a part of business etic as summarized in the table below. Engine Room Simulators must be able to support the shift engineers in managing the ships systems and machines economically and efficiently. Therefore, a well-designed ERS should provide all kind of facility to aware an alert the OOW in saving energy by means of well thought algorithms.
