Use of pre-insulated pipe systems on tanker vessel

The purpose of this project is to reduce the overall fuel consumption onboard a 75,000 DTW oil tanker owned by MARINVEST. In the project, the cooling water and boiler system will be analysed to uncover how the heat can be utilized.

The HT water from the ME is to be used for cargo heating, transfer pipe heating and heating of the charge/discharge equipment. Because of the pipe insulation, it is possible to transfer relatively large amounts of energy from the ME with relatively small losses.
