Berg Propulsion Retrofit Contributes To Substantial Efficiency Gains Read The Full Article:- https://lnkd.in/e975A5VN "The Henneke Rambow project is an effective example of collaboration between owners, charterers and systems integrators, working together to optimise ship performance," commented Mathieu Gubert, VP Chartering CMA CGM. David Sakandelidze, Account Manager, Energy & Efficiency, BERG Propulsion: "Existing propeller blades were replaced with profiles that are hydrodynamically optimized for the vessel's full operational profile" Sven Rambow, Reederei Rambow Bereederungs GmbH & Co. KG, said: "Following this upgrade, Henneke Rambow is demonstrating a remarkable performance improvement which ensures that this vessel will be one of the most efficient of this type for the decade ahead." "The vital role smaller container ships play in global logistics can sometimes be overlooked, but in this case the enhanced performance is extraordinary, with our data indicating that the overall post-project efficiency gains are substantial," said Magnus Thoren, Account Manager, Energy & Efficiency, BERG Propulsion. Martin Linder Sales Manager, Energy & Efficiency, BERG Propulsion, added: "While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, BERG is helping ship owners by assessing potential efficiency improvement options during this transitional period in ship decarbonisation."

Commercial vessels, whether used for offshore energy projects or traditional maritime transport, vary widely in size, shape and performance. While there are many differences, there are many similarities, too. Namely, they are generally ‘expensive’ capital pieces of equipment, and the biggest single cost centers on selecting, installing and maintaining the drivetrain. In this interview, Regal Rexnord’s Bob Lennon provides insights on lifecycle maintenance considerations to ensure reliable performance and long life of a commercial vessels’ drivetrain. #offshore #marine #shipsandshipping #drivetrain #maritime

TMC Compressors (𝐓𝐌𝐂) has been selected by 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 Chantiers de l'Atlantique to supply the marine compressed air system for the two cruise ships being constructed for 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬, which are expected to be the 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝'𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬. TMC Compressors will deliver a comprehensive marine compressed air system, including service and control air compressors, service and control refrigerant air dryers, and a desiccant control air dryer for each vessel. These ships will measure 220 meters in length, 25 meters in width, and have a tonnage of 26,600 tons. The steel for the first ship was cut in April, and it is scheduled to sail in 2026 with a 𝐡𝐲𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧 𝐋𝐍𝐆 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞, accommodating 120 passengers. The second ship is set for delivery in early 2027. TMC will manufacture the systems in the Nordic region and deliver them to France. Hans-Petter Tanum, 𝐓𝐌𝐂’𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, expressed pride in contributing to this innovative project with low-energy and low-emission compressors, highlighting the strong partnership with Chantiers de l'Atlantique. #TMCCompressors #ChantiersdelaAtlantique #OrientExpressSilenseas #MarineCompressedAirSystem #LargestSailingShips #HybridPropulsion #LNG #Shipbuilding #SustainableShipping #MaritimeInnovation #NordicManufacturing #EnvironmentalPerformance #CruiseShips #MarineEngineering NC : Offshore Energy

When it comes to engine maintenance, data is half the battle. Repsol has been closely collaborating with Cleveland Brothers Equipment Co to enhance their engine performance, helping them plan maintenance and service a year in advance, reduce overhaul time and lower ownership costs. ✅ All that just from listening to what their Cat® engines are saying.

Ocean Power Technologies (@oceanpowertechnologies) has been chosen as the preferred supplier for a PowerBuoy equipped with Merrows, its AI-capable Maritime Domain Awareness Solution, in the Middle East. CEO Philipp Stratmann highlighted the company's growth in the PowerBuoy business and the significant opportunities in the Middle East for Merrows and potential integration with Wave Adaptive Modular Vessels (WAM-Vs). 'This selection is another example of the company's growth in its PowerBuoy business,' Stratmann said. 'The Middle East presents significant opportunities for Merrows and the potential to integrate additional Wave Adaptive Modular Vessels (WAM-Vs) into their operations.' The contract, once finalized, is expected to generate revenues in the current quarter, following the completion of engineering for Merrows to operate in hot climates. This strategic move underscores Ocean Power Technologies' commitment to expanding its market presence and leveraging its advanced maritime technologies. #maritimetechnology #artificialintelligence #middleeast #oceanpowertechnologies #merrows #powerbuoy

Through our dialogues with owners and charterers, we’ve seen a clear growing interest to install Wind Assisted Propulsion Systems (WAPS). Due to recent enhancements and second-generation technologies, reductions in production costs, and the integration with weather routing, the average return on investment (ROI) has significantly improved for WAPS. Consequently, an increasing number of vessel owners are currently considering this tech for newbuilds, as well as for their existing fleets. Additionally, as EU regulations start taking effect, particularly Fuel EU Maritime which specifically incentivizes WAPS, ROIs improves even further. At Njord, we have conducted multiple design studies on various vessel types; and a recent example, in a study done on a MR Tanker, we found the ROI to be 3.2 years when traded 50% in EU. What to keep in mind when assessing if WAPS is the right fit for your vessels or not: 1. Make sure to assess the business case from all commercial angles to settle on the ROI, hereunder current and future trading of the vessel, current and forecasted fuel costs, regulatory impact, negotiated equipment costs, integration cost, operating cost, to name a few. 2. Opt for suppliers with proven track records. Research the supplier’s history, client testimonials, and past projects. Look for those who have successfully implemented WAPS on similar vessels and routes. 3. The market offers numerous technologies; ensure the chosen system aligns with your vessel’s operational needs and trading routes. Currently, Rotors, Suction sails, Rigid Sails and even Kites, are available on the market. Based on our experience, we’ve found that proactively integrating WAPS is not just a regulatory compliance strategy but a significant operational enhancement. Careful selection of technology and suppliers is crucial to maximizing the benefits of WAPS.

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.... A fuel oil efficiency monitoring is only as effective as its end user. The Fuel & Energy Efficiency Monitoring System from Eefting Energy can there fore be accessed remotely. We also help our clients with operational support. But the most important factor is the captain and his mates using the information correctly and adjusting power and speed where necessary. Therefore instructing the ships officers is essential. Here you see our colleague Bert Hoving, after a long day of installation and commissioning works, taking the time to give the captain of m.v. Oderborg from Wagenborg Shipping a thorough explanation on the system. #fuelefficiency #shipperformance #inlandshipping
