MARINE paint supplier Hempel and classification society DNV GL have signed a cooperation agreement to work together to bring customers clear, comprehensible and verifiable analytics to track and assess hull and propeller performance, to reduce costs and for a smaller environmental impact.
"We are very pleased to be able to work with Hempel to bring their customers ECO Insight‘s state of the art hull degradation analytics," said Torsten Bussow, DNV GL's head of fleet performance, at the Marintec China trade fair in Shanghai.
"This data will not only give their customers transparent and verified data with only a few simple measurement inputs. It will also give Hempel access to advanced analytics for the further optimisation of their coatings," he said.
"We‘ve already seen the benefits our customers have gained from having real fleet performance analytics easily available ?especially in the area of hull and propeller performance ?and we‘d like to welcome Hempel customers to the ECO Insight family," Mr Bussow said.
The potential for improvements in hull and propeller performance on the energy efficiency of vessels is significant, with estimates of potential savings in the range of 10 per cent in terms of fuel and greenhouse gas emissions savings, said the joint statement.
"With the data analysed by DNV GL, we will be able to optimise our customers?fuel performance, improving hull performance matching specifications precisely to individual needs and trade, dry dock intervals and technical service in dock," said Hempel vice president Christian Ottosen.
