GreenSteam is a new energy saving system for ships, providing reduction in energy consumption by adjusting ship trim and speed. Based on readings from multiple sensors over a period of time, the relations between the dynamically changing conditions and the energy requirements are mapped and analysed into a mathematical model. This model is used for onboard guidance to the crew as regards optimum trim and speed.
The solution has been demonstrated on board a product tanker owned by DS Norden A/S. Analysis of 12 months of performance data for 8 sister vessels both with and without GreenSteam has concluded that the actual improvement in fuel efficiency is not less than 2.5%. GreenSteam is now installed on board several DS Norden A/S bulkers as well as it is expected that significant fuel savings can also be obtained by optimizing trim and power for these vessels.
