Propspeed achieves exceptional results in third-party fuel efficiency test! 🎉 World-leading commercial fishing shipbuilder Padmos Shipyard conducted an independent test of the Propspeed coating system on one of their vessels in conjunction with TechBinder, a data-driven vessel optimization technology firm. Data surrounding engine performance and shaft measurements were collected and analyzed by the Techbinder team using their Pharos Compact to measure torque, RPM of the shaft, and power. The results of this evaluation demonstrated that Propspeed significantly reduced fuel and power consumption as well as load on the vessel. The test was carried out after the vessel’s hull and running gear were freshly cleaned and was conducted by having the commercial fishing vessel Windroos navigate a set course twice: once without Propspeed coating, and once with Propspeed applied. Between the two trips, Windroos saw a 7.5% reduction in fuel consumption and a 4.7% decrease in kilowatt usage at cruising speed after the application of Propspeed compared with a clean propeller. “The data that we gathered suggests a clear improvement in the performance of the vessel with Propspeed from the day it was applied,” said Ing. Maurits van Maaren, Naval Architect, Padmos. “Impressed by these results, we’re now implementing Propspeed on all of our vessels and recommending it to our customers.” Find out more: https://lnkd.in/gfhqAcn4 #Propspeed #SmartVesselOptimizer #Padmos #PadmosShipyard #FuelEfficiencyTest #EnergySavingsTechnology #FoulReleaseCoating Smart Vessel Optimizer

What happens when you coat a vessel with Propspeed? Well, these Padmos Shipyard vessels saw a 7.5% reduction in fuel consumption compared to a clean/bare propeller. Lower fuel consumption leads to greater cost savings and less emissions! Quantitative data confirming the superior results Propspeed has on your vessel.

Passaging ships can present a serious challenges to port operations. As a global expert in maritime operations I am always impressed by the insights Alex and his team can generate. Some of this expertise has been codified into our software Smartmooring. The power of bringing expertise, data and technology together. #LNG #Shipping #Energy

In maritime operations particularly on the navigation or movement no matter is it short the manouvre or long the sea voyage, the four elements of safe navigation must be met: 1. Appraisal; at least checking the weather condition; wind direction and speed, current, swell, traffic, depth, obstruction or construction. 2. Planning; engine availability, number of tugboats; their capacity or bollard pull, limitations and master experience and competency, navigation equipment *(as shown in this example)*. 3. Execution; implementing the plan and react to any change or challenge face during the navigation or movement and adjust accordingly to achieve expected result. 4. Monitoring; observe the movement and ensure it is as per the plan or there is new factors to be counted. As there is saying; don't fight the nautre, and other one; she knows where she goes. As you may face that vessel intend to go easily to ahaed or astern or swing to port or starboard so, this can used as advantage instead to work against this factor.

VESSEL REVIEW: Houston, Texas-based shipping company Signet Maritime Corporation has expanded its towage fleet with the recent acquisition of two new tugs in a series built at the Pascagoula, Mississippi facilities of subsidiary Signet Shipbuilding and Repair (SS&R). 'Signet Capella' and 'Signet Sirius' were both built to a design developed by Canadian naval architecture firm Robert Allan Ltd (RAL) in conjunction with Netherlands-based Rotortug. The vessels each feature a unique triple drive propulsion layout that permits omnidirectional manoeuvrability in addition to offering the benefits of a fully redundant and precise machinery configuration. This then makes the tugs ideal for a range of roles that include ship handling, terminal support, escort, and general towing even in congested port waters. The owner said it worked in conjunction with RAL to perform computational fluid dynamic (CFD) studies to validate the performance of the tug design against the increased hull resistance of the deeper-draught vessels. These studies led to the final design used on the two tugs, with their primary duties being marine operation and protection of the Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center, one of the country’s largest crude oil storage and export terminals by volume. In particular, the design of the tugs solved the issues related to increased hydrodynamic effects of deeper-draught vessels and environmental conditions that are experienced at the jetties. The builder added that the completion of the Corpus Christi Channel Improvement Project will mean VLCCs with 51 feet (15.5 metres) of draught will create a greater demand for high-power, highly manoeuvrable tugs that can perform escort at-speed and in unorthodox configurations. The new Signet tugs are therefore purpose-built for such an application. Full article link in comments.

SQUAT EFFECT : : Shallow Water Effect : : Marine Safety The squat effect in ships is a hydrodynamic phenomenon that occurs when a vessel moves through shallow water, causing a decrease in pressure beneath the hull and an increase in draft, which makes the ship sit lower in the water. This can lead to increased drag, reduced maneuverability, and in extreme cases, grounding. To avoid the squat effect, several strategies are employed: 1. Reduced Speed 2. Route Planning 3. Draft Management 4. Trim Adjustment 5. Use of Tugs 6.
