Energy Saving Devices

Alfa Laval has signed a cooperation agreement with Orcan Energy to market and distribute energy efficiency solutions based on Orcan’s Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology in the marine market

Regulatory factors are stoking interest in energy-saving device solutions from some trades, although a broader industry-wide focus on fuel efficiencies, and altering fuel supply economics, are also contributing

Increasing interest in the sail assist systems space is set to lead to demands for higher standards of automation, writes Terje Lade, Vindskip project manager.

Installing wind technologies as retrofit or newbuild could be the answer to tighter emissions targets for most vessel segments, including bulk carriers, writes Nick Contopoulos, COO, Anemoi.

Airseas, an Airbus spin-off, has harnessed the aeronautical expertise of its parent company to create a kite system expected to be serialised for roll out by “K” Line.

RoPax operators Color Line and Bohai Ferry have confirmed that fuel savings achieved through the use of Lean Marine’s FuelOpt propulsion automation system have exceeded expectations.

Retrofitting a 12-year-old 30 metre passenger vessel with an underwater wing and a bulbous bow reduced the vessel’s resistance and contributed to a 24% improvement in fuel efficiency.
