Objective


To quantify energy savings on board a medium-range (MR) tanker having suctions sails

Project scope


• Collect data as specified by a fuel savings method

• Test and refine data acquisition method and data analysis

• Run statistical analysis to isolate and quantify energy savings derived from the sail retrofits

• Determine accuracy and suitability of method for future retrofits and EET projects
