The project is part of our continuous work to provide our customers with the most efficient services and transportation – while reducing our carbon footprint. The upgrade includes new energy-efficient Kappel propellers, rudder-bulbs, technical upgrades of the main engines, turbochargers, and shaft generators.
“We achieve more than 20% and in corporate terms depending on the clauses this means a saving of between six to seven tonnes of fuel less consumption every day. Which is fantastic for us, for the customers, and is good for the environment.”
Harald Fotland, COO
RightShip, the ship approval system used to verify vessel efficiency, has confirmed the fuel savings Odfjell has achieved using MAN Diesel & Turbo’s Kappel Propeller upgrade package. After the upgrade, the vessels are amongst the most energy-efficient chemical tankers in the world, and achieve the highest score on the RightShip’s energy rating, A+.
“It is a fabulous commitment for Odfjell to go down this path. It’s a great use of technology and the full package to achieve such an improvement on efficiency”
