Dynamic Trimming Assistant

Trim to improve performance

Eniram Dynamic Trimming Assistant (DTA) is a vessel based system for dynamically monitoring and optimising the trim. Finding an optimal trim without a specified tool is not a trivial task since the trim changes in relation to e.g. speed, draft, depth and internal weight alterations. An inadequately trimmed vessel consumes more fuel and sails with reduced speed. Even small adjustments in the trim may affect the vessel performance substantially.

DTA finds the optimal trim for the prevailing conditions by monitoring the vessel attitude dynamically at sea and collecting data from the vessel's automation and navigation systems. Based on the collected parameters DTA optimises the vessel's propulsion power consumption.

The main benefits of DTA

• Potential for substantial fuel savings, even up to 5%
• Environmental savings; less pollution by improved fuel efficiency
• Better understanding of the vessel performance
