KNUD E. HANSEN Engineering & Design

Energy Management & Optimisation

Energy audits, optimised designs, voyage trim management and weight optimisation to reduce vessel energy use and emissions.

Description

KNUD E. HANSEN evaluates projected energy usage on newbuildings and actual usage on existing vessels, and identifies design and operational improvements to reduce consumption.

Key features

  • Design services: optimised designs for newbuilds, upgrade solutions for existing vessels, technical feasibility and economic studies.
  • Energy audits: on-board assessment of current vessel performance, with energy-saving proposals including baseline comparison and ROI study.
  • Voyage management: on-board software that identifies the optimal trim for each voyage to minimise hull resistance; ballast water management plans that reduce pump operation and energy consumption.
  • Weight optimisation: detailed weight surveys for in-service vessels and assessment of stability and loading conditions to avoid unnecessary ballast.

Applications

Newbuilding projects and in-service fleets seeking lower fuel use and emissions.
