Propspeed’s Post

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
