Metis and Esvagt Team Up to Enhance SOV Data Analytics
, Metis Cyberspace Technology.Metis has developed a way of visualizing SOV operations which correlates the full range of vessel activities to fuel efficiency and emissions in the context of a five-day forecast for weather conditions, added Theodossopoulos.Features include a new depiction of total fuel oil consumption by activity across multiple scenarios, including transit, personnel transfer, time-in-port, etc., which takes account of different weather conditions.The enhanced software functionality also introduces a heightened level of transparency to dynamic positioning (DP) operations taking into considerati
BW Group, Miros Enter JV Aimed at Fuel-Saving, Emission Reduction
and combined with fuel flow and main engine power meters we can quantify fuel savings of up to 10% on a single voyage. It has also helped to change the legal contracts to actual performance instead of warranties, setting the standard for the future of this industry.”Miros Mocean combines fuel oil consumption and main engine power measurements with real-time accurate environmental conditions at the vessel’s actual location. This is designed to allow vessel owners and operators to:Make real-time decisions about the operation of vessels with the objective of saving fuel and reducing greenhouse

positioning, navigation, thruster control and automation systems, all enhanced by inbuilt measures to improve functionality and safety. The delivery will be augmented by an electrical package including battery hybrid power and energy management systems, which will perpetrate a sharp reduction in fuel oil consumption, thereby driving down the vessel’s CO2 and NOx emissions

windows on parts of the bridge, accumulation and storage of renewable energy, and alternative materials.” The efficient hull with its slender lines, the propulsion set-up, low friction bottom paint and reduced weight from alternative hull material all contribute to reducing fuel oil consumption. The X-BOW has a major impact on seakeeping and comfort. X-BOW vessels are capable of either maintaining speed in harsh sea, or reducing their impact on the environment by reducing speed and, consequently, saving significant amounts of fuel. A patrol vessel has to be tough to

to Ulstein, the PX121 has become very popular among various ship-owners and investment companies, and ROC is a new yard entering the stage of constructing vessels carrying the X-BOW hull line design from Ulstein. This inverted bow leads to reduced speed loss in waves, and consequently less fuel oil consumption, and the absence of slamming is an attractive feature as the comfort for the crew is increased. Ulstein Design & Solutions provides a comprehensive design and equipment package that includes basic and detail design, all major equipment, site support/construction consultancy and commissionin
Damen Introduces New Anchor Handler Design
design philosophy, featuring values like safety, functionality, standardisation, modularisation, ease of maintenance and overall quality, can also be found in the Damen AHTS 200. An extensive research analysis was executed on hull optimization, sea keeping qualities, noise and vibration reduction, fuel oil consumption reduction, changing rules and regulations and client-needs and lessons-learned from other Damen designs. Innovative winch package The Damen AHTS 200 includes a new and innovative winch arrangement which is quite decisive for the overall dimensions and layout of the vessel
