Cutting emissions and fuel costs in container shipping
Our fully integrated solutions span bridge, propulsion, navigation, planning, reporting and maintenance systems. This secures long-term operational and overall fleet management performance. We support the transition to LNG, which provides big cuts on emissions, while allowing for a future transition to zero-carbon fuels.
Powering performance with proven advantages:
- Integrated solutions for container feeder vessels
- Integrated Navigation Systems for best route planning
- Wind-assist solutions and installation for any operational profile
- Life-cycle support services to ensure your vessel runs at best performance for longer
Integrated solutions that cut emissions:
Our holistic solutions help container vessel owners gain maximum efficiency and make the switch to LNG

How we cut emissions from carrier vessels
-
Our Power Take Off solution PTO contributed to OPEX savings of ~1.5-2% on a study we conducted on a theoretical 14,000 TEU container vessel operating an Asia-Europe route.
% -
With our future-proofed LNG dual fuel option, container vessel owners have the option of two conventional fossil fuels and four low-carbon options, including HVO and ammonia.
fuels -
Our LNG Fuel Gas Supply System offers vessel owners a reduction of up to 24% in carbon emissions, with SO2 and particulate emissions reduced to almost zero.
