Teekay Tankers authorized contracts to furnish 25 extra vessels with Yara Marine Technologies’ FuelOpt propulsion optimization modern technology. The order adheres to the setup as well as assessment of FuelOpt onboard Zenith Spirit in 2021, adhered to by an additional 3 vessels in 2022.
Teekay positioned the brand-new orders in Q1 as well as Q2 2023 after having actually validated that making use of FuelOpt onboard 4 of its vessels, running with constant shaft power, led to gas cost savings as well as discharges decreases of 3-5% with 2022.
FuelOpt works with all existing as well as future gas as well as is developed to be straightforward. The system automates as well as implements crucial functional setups throughout a vessel’s trip. Crew can manage rate, gas intake, as well as engine power– or a mix of these– with a solitary user-friendly panel on the bridge. The system adjusts propulsive power to real-time ecological problems as well as gets rid of pricey variants in rate as well as power, bring about sustain cost savings as well as discharges decreases.
FuelOpt can supply assistance in attending to the needs for year-on-year Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) enhancements. The system logs all efficiency as well as navigational criteria in the vessel’s efficiency monitoring as well as reporting software program. This information can be integrated with fleet monitoring software program to make it possible for very easy coverage.
When Shaft Power Limitation (ShaPoLi) capability is consisted of in FuelOpt based on Teekay’s vessels, the coverage additionally consists of excess power reporting mandated by Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) needs on making use of ShaPoLi. With FuelOpt, the ShaPoLi capability imposes a ceiling to the vessel’s shaft power outcome with no adjustment to the vessel’s existing equipment.
