Hanwha Ocean and Accelleron have performed an engine part load optimization (EPLO) for Höegh Autoliners supporting long-term energy efficiency for its 7,850 CEU (Car Equivalent Units) car carrier Höegh Detroit. The success of the project to improve the vessel’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating has led to an order for EPLOs on a further seven vessels owned or operated by Höegh. At a recent sea trial, EPLO demonstrated fuel saving of 10g/kWh, equivalent to 5% of total fuel consumption. The improvement not only enables the vessel to operate in a high CII rating but also provides substantial operating cost reduction in terms of fuel costs and EU ETS expenses and reduced CO2 emissions.

We recently welcomed another newbuild LNG carrier, the Maran Gas Kimolos, carrying the Greek flag, to our expanding Maran Gas Maritime (MGM) fleet at the Angelicoussis Group. On Tuesday, 10 September, Hanwha successfully delivered the ABS classed vessel to MGM. The MG Kimolos is the first in a series of 11 newbuilding LNG carriers on order with the Hanwha Group to be delivered gradually between 2024 and 2027. This latest series incorporates MGM’s MEGI “Generation 3” specification, incorporating experience from 13 vessels already in service with the MAN-MEGI propulsion system, an evolving and continuously improving design. MAN-MEGI propulsion engines have the lowest gas consumption and negligible level of methane slip among all dual-fuel LNG engines available. Combined with design enhancements as well as tried and tested energy saving devices such as shaft generators and air lubrication systems, the result is the most efficient and future-proof LNG carrier design currently being built, with significant advantages over the competition in terms of total GHG emissions. We wish the MG Kimolos and her crew a long life of safe and prosperous journeys! #AngelicoussisGroup #MaranGas #innovation #newbuildings #sustainability #decarbonisation

Hanwha Ocean and Accelleron have completed an Engine Part Load Optimization (EPLO) for Höegh Autoliners, enhancing long-term energy efficiency for its 7,850 CEU car carrier, Höegh Detroit. This project's success in improving the vessel’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating has resulted in additional EPLO orders for seven more vessels owned or operated by Höegh. During recent sea trials, EPLO demonstrated fuel savings of 10g/kWh, equivalent to 5% of total fuel consumption. These improvements not only enable the vessel to operate at a high CII rating but also significantly reduce operating costs, including fuel expenses, EU ETS costs, and CO2 emissions. Know EPLO? Engine Part Load Optimization (EPLO) is a strategic process aimed at enhancing the operational efficiency and sustainability of marine vessels. It involves fine-tuning engine parameters and optimizing turbocharger configurations to match the vessel’s actual operating conditions, particularly during partial load operations. By adjusting components such as turbocharger nozzle rings, turbine blades, and compressor wheels, EPLO ensures that engines operate more efficiently across a range of speeds and loads. #bunkering #bunkermarket #energy #shipping #maritime #shipowners #decarbonization #energytransition #ports #marinefuels #europe #usa #uk #southkorea #hanwha #accelleron #hoegh #hoeghautoliners #cii #eplo #euets #emissions https://lnkd.in/dRx3vuuq

Glovis Dual Fuel LNG RORO Carrier Docks at Hambantota International Port The LNG (liquefied natural gas) dual-fuel RORO vessel Glovis Selene made its maiden call at the Hambantota International Port (HIP) last week, unloading 627 CEUs (Car Equivalent Units) and loading 934 CEUs bound for the Persian Gulf. This marks the second time a dual-fuel LNG vessel has docked at HIP, highlighting the port’s capacity to accommodate next-generation vessels. The Glovis Selene, measuring 200 metres in length, 38 metres in width, and a draft of 8.6 metres, eatures 12 vehicle stowage decks with a carrying capacity of 7000 CEU’s. Commissioned in September 2024, this vessel is part of the latest addition to the LNG dual-fuel fleet of South Korean shipping giant Hyundai Glovis. Apart from being a key RORO volume contributor to Sri Lanka overall, Glovis plays a vital role in sustaining high volumes at HIP. LNG-powered vessels are increasingly central to sustainable maritime operations, blending environmental responsibility with fuel efficiency and modern resource management. Many LNG carriers now rely on LNG fuel for both propulsion and auxiliary power, aligning with international environmental standards such as the IMO’s global sulphur cap. This transition significantly cuts emissions of sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM), enabling shipowners to meet stringent environmental regulations and support global decarbonization efforts. Additionally, LNG tankers utilise boil-off gas—naturally evaporated LNG during transport—as fuel, efficiently managing this byproduct and minimising its atmospheric release. Equipped with dual-fuel engines, these vessels can run on either LNG or heavy fuel oil (HFO), offering flexibility and improved fuel efficiency. As the use of LNG-fueled tankers expands, they will become more central to sustainable and efficient maritime operations worldwide.
