Optimising fuel consumption on ships for more energy efficiency
3 ways how KROHNE can help you reduce your fuel consumption:
Real-Time monitoring and data analysis
Centralised reporting with EcoMATE™ Cloud
Improving hull performance
In the marine industry, energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction are not just important—they are critical to meeting global shipping decarbonisation targets. To aid shipowners and operators in this challenge, KROHNE offers EcoMATE™, a comprehensive vessel performance system and fleet operation optimisation software designed to deliver real-time monitoring of fuel consumption, emissions, and bunkering.
なぜこれが重要なのか？
Optimising fuel consumption is crucial not only for cost reduction but also for minimising the carbon footprint of shipping. The EcoMATE™ system provides operators with the insights needed to manage fuel usage effectively, directly contributing to both economic and environmental sustainability. By focusing on fuel efficiency, shipowners can align their operations with industry standards while boosting profitability.
KROHNE’s commitment to all vessel types
Inland and smaller-river sea vessels face the same challenges of efficiency, compliance and sustainability as the largest ocean-going ships, but often with limited space and different operational demands. EcoMATE™ Compact brings KROHNE’s proven performance and emissions monitoring technology to this segment, re-engineered for smaller installations without compromising precision. Built on three guiding principles: precision without compromise, compact and cost-effective design, and universal access to sustainability, EcoMATE™ Compact makes accurate, trustworthy emissions data attainable for every vessel.
How does KROHNE’s EcoMATE™ help?
Fuel consumption is one of the primary drivers of operating costs in the maritime industry, and optimising fuel usage is key to achieving better energy efficiency. With KROHNE’s EcoMATE™ solution, shipowners and operators have the tools they need to reduce fuel consumption effectively. Here’s how KROHNE helps:
Real-Time monitoring and data analysis
EcoMATE™ provides real-time monitoring of fuel consumption, giving shipowners complete visibility over fuel usage patterns. By correlating fuel consumption with key operational factors such as speed, temperature, and thrust, EcoMATE™ helps operators make informed adjustments to optimise fuel efficiency. Real-time data analysis supports optimal speed and manoeuvrability, which in turn minimises fuel consumption and reduces operational costs.
Centralised reporting with EcoMATE™ Cloud
The EcoMATE™ Cloud platform serves as a central hub for monitoring fleet performance. Data from all vessels equipped with EcoMATE™ is transmitted to the cloud, providing an accessible overview of fuel consumption trends. The platform enables operators to compare performance across their fleet, identify areas for improvement, and make targeted adjustments to reduce fuel consumption. With the centralised reporting features, shipowners can take a proactive approach to improving energy efficiency.
Improving hull performance
Hull performance plays a significant role in determining a ship’s fuel consumption. With EcoMATE™, shipowners can monitor and optimise hull performance to reduce drag, which directly impacts fuel efficiency. Proper hull maintenance and cleaning reduce resistance, resulting in smoother sailing and immediate fuel savings of up to 9%. By incorporating hull performance monitoring into vessel management, ship operators can achieve greater fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
