ECO-Solutions

Detailed fuel efficiency analysis

altFutureShip not only aids to save fuel, reduce emissions and to determine the potential within a ship. Once target areas are identified, parameter optimisation is necessary to extract maximum value from an investment. This is where FutureShip's ECO-Solutions service can help.

FutureShip optimise parameters for each of the focus areas identified by the ECO-Chances consultancy service (or focus areas that you specify), helping a ship to reach its energy efficiency potential. ECO-Solutions is a consultancy service that assists you in improving your ship's energy consumption efficiency. FutureShip experts analyse and optimise three focus areas as identified in the ECO-Chances service or as directly specified by you. Potential areas for detailed analyses include:
  • Lines optimisation of bare hull with possible addition of a bulbous bow
  • Optimisation with respect to resistance
  • Quantitative assessment of appendages
  • Advanced propeller analysis
  • Analysis of propulsion devices including cavitation danger
  • Machinery system simulation to predict fuel consumption for different operating modes and components
  • Analysis of auxiliary engine layout including output, number of engines and interaction with alternative generation systems
  • Electrical system optimisation with advanced layout for a frequency converted e-system
  • Flexible design of output and fuel types:
    • Study of fast/slow steaming speeds and associated adaptation requirements
    • PTI-PTO operation for shaft generator
    • Flexible design for upcoming fuel regulations
    • Specifications for alternative energy sources
FutureShip provides a report including optimised parameters and specifications for each of the three focus areas analysed. In addition, advanced estimates of the calculated fuel savings as well as estimates of implementation costs and financial payback period are provided. FutureShip then works hand-in-hand with your technical staff to assure the transfer of the analysis results.

Benefit from investing only in analyses that offer the highest potential return on investment and know the fuel price point at which planned upgrades make economic sense. FutureShip provides the information necessary to significantly reduce fuel consumption and to raise a ship's value in advance of rising oil prices and CO2 regulations.
