Power consumption distribution when in still water and due to weather effects, hull and propeller blade roughness and fouling and engine performance degradation.
APPRAISING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Our Design Team has developed its own unique simulation model to evaluate a ship’s energy efficiency by incorporating the effects of:
- Hull and propeller blade surface degradation and fouling;
- Changes in wake pattern due to alteration of flow around the hull;
- Engine performance degradation;
- Energy-saving devices installed on the ship;
- Weather patterns, with wind, waves and current analysed separately.
The model also forecasts the impact of the above on the following, individually:
- Additional power, and also fuel oil consumption;;
- Reduction in ship’s speed;
- CII rating;
- Alterations in hull and propeller efficiency;
- Deadlines for hull cleaning, propeller polishing and engine maintenance;
- Overall commercial considerations.
Forecasting of additional daily cost, speed reduction, impact on CII rating and additional power consumption, due to hull and propeller blade roughness and fouling, and engine performance degradation.
At SRV, we have many years of experience securing best-fit marine insurance cargo policies that meet the specific needs of our clients.We seek better ways to manage risk and define more effective paths to the right outcome.We go beyond risk to rewards for our clients, our company, our colleagues, and the communities in which we serve. We have presence in USA, UK and Australia.
