Chemship, a prominent player in the maritime industry, has announced a significant partnership with Manta Marine Technologies. The collaboration will see Manta Marine supply and deploy its cutting-edge automated propulsion optimisation system, FuelOpt, across nine of Chemship’s tankers.
FuelOpt is designed to enhance vessel performance by automatically optimising propulsion. This system intelligently controls engine and propeller pitch, ensuring ships operate at their most efficient point based on real-time conditions and predefined parameters. The aim is to achieve substantial fuel savings and reduced emissions.
The adoption of FuelOpt on a substantial portion of Chemship’s fleet highlights a growing industry trend towards embracing advanced digital solutions for operational efficiency. By leveraging Manta Marine’s innovative technology, Chemship aims to bolster its sustainable shipping practices while improving overall fleet performance and cost-effectiveness.
This strategic installation is expected to deliver tangible benefits, including lower fuel consumption, fewer CO2 emissions, and more predictable voyage execution for the nine tankers. It marks a proactive step by Chemship to integrate smart technologies for a more efficient and environmentally responsible future in maritime transport.
