GreenSteam to Showcase Bunker Saving Tech at SMM Hamburg
Marine fuel efficiency technology company GreenSteam will be showcasing its bunker saving GreenSteam Optimizer at next month's SMM event in Hamburg Germany, the company said today in an emailed press release.
"Achieving the absolute maximum fuel efficiency for a vessel means operating at the most efficient speed using as little fuel as possible," the company says.
The system consists of 2 small GreenSteam radars installed in the bridge wings, and a touch screen console which connects to wind and flow meter sensors, trim, and the radars.
GreenStream says data is then collected at a much higher frequency than so-called "noon reporting", allowing for a better analysis of the vessel.
"The optimal settings and parameters such as trim, draft are a vital in setting up the vessel, and depend on a range of conditions such as load, waves, wind, water depth, and many other factors," says GreenStream.
"By continually optimizing the trim and draft of the vessel based on data collected onboard the vessel, propulsion resistance is minimized, saving fuel. "
In April GreenStream announced that Danish shipping company DFDS is to install the GreenSteam Optimizer technology on about 20 ships.
