INSIGHTS

By always making the same route of thirteen nautical miles, we now take less time - an hour and 15-20 minutes compared to an hour and 40-45 minutes. That’s an increase in speed of more than 2 knots. The difference is clear.

By lowering the difference in hourly consumption with and without Propspeed from 26.7 to 20 liters/ hours and considering the purchase price per liter, you have the compensation of application costs in about 80 hours of navigation, thus approximately one tenth of the hours of navigation of the vessel. This is a very good return on our investment

“This result has identified that the application of Propspeed not only leads to significant economic savings but also improves the environmental sustainability of the ship's operation. Since we started using Propspeed, we’ve made it a priority to include it in all our fleet’s maintenance schedules to obtain similar benefits. I genuinely believe that all our vessels can benefit from this innovative system.”

"Windroos saw a remarkable 4.7% reduction in fuel consumption and kilowatt usage at cruising speed, after Propspeed application. Impressed by these results, we’re now implementing Propspeed on all our vessels and recommending it to our customers."

"Before Propspeed, we consumed 180.74 liters per hour and this year we consumed an average of 153.56 liters per hour, which represents a little over 15% savings.”

"Following a recent dive inspection of the underwater hull, the divers report suggests that all areas coated in Propspeed are looking clean and free of marine build up.”
