Customers
Eniram's customers include owners and operators of large commercial vessels, such as cruise ships, container vessels and tankers.
As fuel represents the largest operational cost to shipping companies it is vital to focus on reducing the consumption. Increasing environmental regulations further add to vessel operating costs.
Emission levels are increasingly used as a basis for determining fairway fees and harbour charges, and those operators reducing emissions will benefit from reduced tariffs. Furthermore, sustainability is an important differentiator in the shipping industry, with the commitment and quality of environmentally responsible activities already influencing stakeholders' decisions. In contrast, poor environmental stewardship is certain to make headlines and undermine reputations.
Eniram have created a product portfolio that truly assists the shipping industry to reduce fuel consumption, protect the environment and increase the knowledge of vessel and fleet performance.
We expect to save more than 200 tons of carbon fuel per year, per ship, which could represent financial savings of more than US $100,000 per ship, depending on the cost of fuel.
We have reduced fuel consumption on the Mega Express III by three percent in the high speed range of over 25 knots per hour. This corresponds to an annual reduction in fuel requirements of 980 metric tons.
DTA gives us a relatively simple way to reduce fuel consumption across Hamburg Süd’s fleet of vessels and reduce the impact on the environment. When the solution is installed on the first batch of ten vessels, we expect to make savings of over US $4 million in the first year.
Having now used Eniram’s DTA for some time, we are clearly using less energy to achieve the same speed. The benefit in percentage that we are talking about is a decrease of around five per cent in fuel consumption, and this is a conservative estimate
