The MOST Fledge^TM is a small, fixed, cost effective hydrodynamic device that is fitted to the immersed transom stern of a vessel, which alters the flow of water past the hull in such a way as to reduce the overall hull drag of a vessel operating at displacement speeds.  The design of the device will be optimised to provide the maximum benefit in the most critical operational speed range for your vessel.  The device will not impact on the safe operation of your vessel, it has no moving parts and will be a fixture on the hull which is approved by Class or MCA as appropriate.

As part of your new operational profile you may be running your vessels under slow steaming conditions and this may have had a significant effect on the reliability and performance of your main propulsion engines.

The Fitch facilitates a cleaner, and therefore a more efficient, combustion by reforming the fuel back to its optimum state by reversing the natural degrading processes and suppressing bacteria growth.  It works on both petrol and diesel fuel and enables more complete combustion of the fuel in the engine, thereby reducing the pollutant emissions, including the visible particulates, and improving the torque and power of the engine.

Are you noticing that your antifouling paint does not keep your hulls clean for as long as you had hoped, or even as long as a previous coating had done?  Regular bottom cleans are becoming a necessity if you are aiming to maintain your hull efficiency and to save fuel between your docking periods.  Fouling can account for more than 20% increased hull drag within 12 months in some conditions.

Many shipping companies/operators are now using some form of ‘passage planning’ to improve their operational efficiency.  Careful passage planning processes can avoid hazardous weather (eg loss of containers), improve fuel efficiency and reduce steaming time.
