Swire Shipping continuously enhances energy efficiency on vessels. This is done by evaluating and implementing application of Energy Efficiency Technologies (EETs) available in market. These investments result in lower fuel consumption and thus further reduction of emissions to air.
Some of the examples of EETs include the following:
Some of the examples of EETs include the following:
- Twisted leading-edge rudder with bulb;
- Optimised propeller;
- Silicone-based hull coatings;
- Optimised bow design;
- Hub vortex absorbed fins;
- Welding seam smoothening solution; and
- Trim optimisation integrated with loading computer and improved hydrodynamic efficiency.
Premature dry-dockings are carried out for poorer performing vessels to clean or renew the underwater paint system to further improve fuel efficiency. Our in-house team also constantly monitors the vessels for fuel consumption performance to ensure that the fleet performs at an optimal level.
