Report overview

How the Performance Feedback Tool can help your business

This report presents an example analysis using PowerCaptain’s Performance Feedback Tool, powered by LionRock Maritime, to demonstrate how captain and crew behavior can be influenced and enhanced through data-driven insights. The tool captures and analyzes operational data across tug classes, job types, and individual captains—identifying deviations, highlighting strengths, and surfacing areas for improvement.

By combining structured feedback reporting with powerful features such as Job Playbacks, the tool supports targeted coaching, promotes efficient operations, and fosters a culture of accountability on board. In practice, this approach leads to more consistent performance, clearer training priorities, and smoother execution across port and harbor operations. These insights highlight the value of transparent, behavior-focused analytics in driving both crew development and operational excellence.

Insight 1

Tailored Captain Reports

The captain speed compliance dashboard offers a comprehensive view of how individual captains adhere to optimal speed guidelines during operations. By visualizing and segmenting speed ranges, it highlights both overall speeding behaviors and detailed breakdowns across defined speed categories. 

1.2.2_Implementation_support

Insight 2

Implementation Support

The Implementation Support encompasses a structured 2-step approach designed to integrate data-driven insights into operational practices. An initial Baseline Stage—focused on collecting  performance data—transitions into a targeted Intervention Stage. This two-step method ensures accurate benchmarking before moving to continuous improvement efforts, providing clear visibility into performance shifts, measured reductions in speeding, and assessment of economic and ecological impacts. 

2.1.6_Job_playbacks-1

Insight 3

Job Playbacks

This playback visualization captures the movement of a tug and vessel during a harbor maneuver, providing a detailed reconstruction of the operation. Each tug's path, speed (measured in knots), and interaction with the assisted vessel are tracked on a geographic map, enabling port managers, captains, and safety teams to review the job with full spatial and temporal context.

By replaying actual movements frame by frame, stakeholders can evaluate maneuver timing, tug positioning, and response accuracy—key factors for optimizing safety, training, and coordination. The playback tool also helps identify procedural deviations, highlight best practices, and facilitate debriefings or audits after high-risk or complex jobs.

These visual insights turn every past operation into a learning opportunity, strengthening crew performance, improving planning precision, and reinforcing accountability in daily tug operations.
