Eco- Friend Technology & Engineering Advantages

Eco- Friend Technology & Engineering Advantages

With a superior-designed hull, optimized self-polishing antifouling paint scheme, energy saving devices, a fuel efficient engine and a SOx scrubber that reduces emissions the company's tanker can achieve fuel savings of up to 20% and emissions reductions of up to 30% compared to the previous generation of tankers.

The company’s vessel, among the newest in the shipping industry, is environmentally friendly and energy efficient. This means that the company pays less for maintenance and repairs and enjoys the benefits of using less fuel minimizing the emissions to deliver its customers' cargo.

Energy Saving Devices (Hi-PSD, Hi-FIN, Hi-Rudder Bulb, Mewis Duct ):

The ESDs are devices attached to the tanker's hull, propeller or rudder that optimize water flow around the vessel’s appendices, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency. These devices enhance the tanker's maneuverability, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.

Larger Propeller

A larger propeller allows for more efficient propulsion, enabling the tanker to achieve speeds with less power and less fuel consumption. This feature enhances the vessel's overall performance, fuel efficiency, and operational flexibility.

Electronic Two stroke Main Engines

The electronic controller two stroke main engine is a technologically advanced and fuel-efficient marine propulsion system. It offers precise combustion and fuel injection control, optimized fuel consumption, reduced emissions, and enhanced overall performance, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and lower operating costs for the oil tanker.

Eco Autopilot

The eco autopilot is an advanced navigation system that optimizes the vessel's route planning, considering fuel efficiency, weather conditions, and traffic patterns. By optimizing the tanker's course, the eco autopilot reduces fuel consumption, enhances safety, and improves voyage efficiency.

Hyundai Integrated Smart Ship Solution (ISS)

A sophisticated system that collects and analyzes real-time data on various operational parameters of the oil tanker, such as fuel consumption, engine performance, and emissions. Helps to reduce operational costs during voyages. It estimates the optimal voyage considering the weather forecasting, operational condition, voyage schedule, etc. The vessel can make better decisions by comparing the current status of its voyage and the optimal voyage recommended by ISS. This feature enables proactive monitoring, performance optimization, and predictive maintenance, improving operational efficiency and reducing downtime.

Ballast Water Treatment

Ballast water treatment systems ensure that ballast water, taken onboard to stabilize the tanker is treated to prevent the spread of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens. This feature helps protect marine ecosystems, comply with international regulations, and minimize the ecological impact of ballast water discharge.

EEDI Certification

The Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) certification demonstrates that the oil tanker meets international standards for energy efficiency. EEDI certification signifies that the vessel has been designed and built with features and technologies that reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, making it an environmentally responsible choice.

Reduced Hydrodynamic Resistance Antifouling Paint

A reduced hydrodynamic resistance antifouling paint refers to specialized self-polishing coatings applied to the tanker's hull, designed to minimize frictional resistance between the vessel and the water. This feature improves fuel efficiency by reducing drag and increasing the vessel's speed while consuming less energy.

Enviro Class Notation

Enviro class notation is a classification given to tankers that meet strict environmental standards set by classification societies. This notation signifies that the vessel complies with specific emissions, waste management, and environmental performance criteria, distinguishing it as an environmentally friendly and responsible tanker.

Green Passport Class Rotation

The green passport class rotation refers to systematically replacing hazardous materials on board the tanker with environmentally friendly alternatives. This feature ensures compliance with international regulations, promotes safer operations, and demonstrates the vessel's commitment to environmental sustainability.

Reduced CO2 Emissions

The implementation of eco-friendly technologies, such as the electronic G50ME main engine, larger propeller, ESDs, and reduced hydrodynamic resistance painting, helps to minimize the oil tanker's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. These features optimize fuel efficiency, reduce drag, and enhance propulsion, resulting in lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. By achieving improved energy efficiency, the tanker can significantly contribute to mitigating climate change impacts.

No Halon or Asbestos Onboard

Ensuring the absence of halon and asbestos onboard an oil tanker is crucial for the safety and well-being of crew members and the environment. Halon is a fire suppression agent known to have ozone-depleting properties, and its usage has been phased out due to environmental concerns. Similarly, asbestos, a hazardous material known for its health risks, has been prohibited due to its harmful effects on human health. By strictly adhering to regulations and guidelines, an oil tanker can maintain a safe and environmentally friendly working environment, protecting crew members and the ecosystem.

In summary, incorporating these features in an oil tanker offers numerous advantages, including improved fuel efficiency, enhanced performance, compliance with environmental regulations, reduced emissions, optimized maintenance, and minimized ecological impact. These features collectively contribute to a more sustainable, efficient, and responsible operation of the oil tanker.
