Energy Management

Pioneering revolutionary energy-saving technologies and initiatives

With rising fuel prices, tighter regulations and increasing environmental concerns, fuel consumption efficiency is a high priority for charterers as well as for ship operators. Thenamaris has taken the lead in the ship management industry by adopting ground-breaking technologies and rigorously pursuing initiatives that can dramatically increase fuel efficiency. We have:

  • Installed the Becker Mewis Duct® on all vessels under management. This revolutionary energy-saving device produces up to 7% savings in fuel consumption and reduces CO2emissions by the same amount. Thenamaris was the first company in the world to install the Becker Mewis Duct® on a vessel as large as the Suezmax.
  • Adopted from an early stage ‘slow steaming’, a technique that also reduces fuel consumption and CO2 This enables Thenamaris to further improve its environmental standards and contribute to the sustainability of the industry.

Fuel consumption (tons per vessel day)

Our goal: reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions

Along with these two major initiatives, our technical team has undertaken a number of additional efforts to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Among others, these include: more frequent hull and propeller cleaning; the application of Variable Frequency Drives technology on electric motors to better control the speed of the motors and reduce electrical power; and closer monitoring of vessel performance via new systems that automatically capture and analyze data utilizing statistical methods, such as Gauss curve fitting.
