Operational fuel consumption analysis Practical fuel saving measures that pay: reduce operating costs with FutureShip's ECO-Practices. FutureShip analyses a ship's operations to find fuel saving "quick-win" solutions that saves money.
FutureShip brings ship systems data, CO2 index data and crew and staff input together to identify measures with the greatest fuel saving potential. The analysis results in suggestions for improved crew behaviors that can be implemented immediately, as well as for technical updates that require additional investment. The included investment cost and savings estimates allow easy prioritisation of options. FutureShip's experts begin by gathering a ship's systems data, its Energy Efficiency Operational Index date and other available voyage information that are supplied. FutureShip analyses and prepares the data for a two-day workshop held at your premises for key crew members and fleet staff. The results of the workshop are then evaluated and presented in a detailed report, which includes a list of operational fuel efficiency improvement options. The estimated fuel savings and related investment costs are presented for each improvement measure identified, and are compared to various fuel price scenarios. This allows to quickly and easily prioritise fuel efficiency improvement options. FutureShip provides suggestions for improved crew behaviours that bring immediate savings and for changes to onboard systems that lead to improved operational energy efficiency. We assist you in prioritising options requiring financial investment, gives suggestions for improvement of control and automation processes and systems that can be applied to other existing ships. FutureShip points out what can be implemented in future newbuilding designs. The ECO-Practices brochure can be downloaded here. |
