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.
Your review of operational efficiencies may have included hydrodynamic improvements that would alter the original ‘design point’ for the hull/propulsion optimisation making it no longer the preferred operating point. It is possible to re-optimise both the hull resistance and machinery performance to regain the best overall efficiency at your chosen new ‘design point’.
Remote machinery condition monitoring & reporting can also improve the longer term operational efficiency of the machinery, with savings on fuel and spares by using preventive rather than corrective maintenance routines.
Improved combustion efficiency of the propulsion and generation prime movers will also reduce fuel consumption as well as carbon and particulate emissions. MOST Ltd is developing a simple, cheap system that will improve the combustion efficiency of your engines while reducing carbon, NOx and particulate emissions. This system will offer fuel efficiency improvements of up to 10%.
