CUTTING-EDGE SOLUTIONS

Decarbonization & Efficiency Technologies

From fast-payback hydrodynamic devices to future-proof dual-fuel readiness and low-friction hull coatings.

⚡

Propeller & Hydrodynamic ESDs

Mewis Ducts, Pre-swirl Stators & Boss Cap Fins (PBCF). Optimizes water flow into the propeller, reducing rotational losses and generating 3% to 8% fuel savings with minimal dry-dock installation time.

🧪

Advanced Hull Coatings: Silicone vs Graphite

Silicone Foul-Release: Ultra-slick surfaces for 4-6% fuel reduction.
Graphite/Graphene Coatings: Extreme mechanical durability, persistent biofouling protection, and hydrodynamic drag reduction.

🌱

Biofuel Preparedness (Drop-in Fuels)

Immediate CO2 impact for EU ETS & FuelEU Maritime compliance (B30/HVO). Includes fuel system compatibility audits, elastomer upgrades, tank cleaning protocols, and Class NOx File updates.

⚓

Wind-Assisted Propulsion (WAPS)

Integration of Rotor Sails (Flettner) and Rigid Wings. Delivers 8% to 20% fuel savings. Complete structural deck integration, stability calculations, and Class approval support.

🔄

Dual-Fuel Integration & Readiness (Methanol / LNG)

Full-scope independent engineering for Methanol-Ready / Gas-Ready conversions. We handle tank integration, double-walled piping, ESD safety, nitrogen inerting, and Class Plan Approval (IGF Code) — pairing seamlessly with OEM engine kit suppliers.

⚙️

VFD & Electrical Automation

Variable frequency drives for seawater pumps and engine room ventilation. Dynamic speed tuning yields up to 40% auxiliary electrical load reduction with payback under 18 months.

WORKFLOW EXCELLENCE

Project Lifecycle: From Audit to Class Approval

A structured 4-step engineering roadmap ensuring zero operational downtime and seamless Class acceptance.

01

Shipboard Audit & Feasibility Study

Onboard inspection of vessel machinery and automation systems. Analysis of operational Noon Reports, telemetry, and baseline CII/EEXI gaps to calculate ROI and CAPEX/OPEX.

02

Engineering & Class Approval

Preparation of Basic & Detailed Engineering packages. Hydrodynamic, structural, electrical load, and stability calculations submitted for Class Plan Approval (DNV, LR, BV, RINA, ABS).

03

Repair Specification & Sourcing

Formulation of a comprehensive Technical Repair Specification (Ремведомость). Equipment sourcing, contractor auditing, and shipyard preparation (Yalova, Vietnam, etc.).

04

Dry-Dock Supervision & Commissioning

On-site senior superintendent supervision during shipyard dry-docking. Machinery tuning, automation integration, sea trials, and final Class certificate re-issuance.
