Energy Efficiency Solutions to Reduce Ship Fuel Consumption

Shipowners Head

In today’s competitive maritime market, shipowners must achieve maximum operational efficiency while minimizing fuel costs and emissions. VICUSdt delivers shipowners energy efficiency solutions through a unique combination of CFD engineering, performance analysis, and propulsion upgrades.

Our expertise helps fleets manager improve speed, reduce resistance, and optimize propulsion systems. Central to our offering are our Energy Saving Devices (ESDs), designed to deliver measurable fuel savings and performance gains for both newbuilds and retrofits. With VICUSdt as your engineering partner, you gain a one-stop solution to manage fleet performance effectively, enhance ROI, and meet tightening environmental regulations.

How Energy Efficiency Solutions Improve Ship Fuel Efficiency

VICUS has been assisting shipowners with their propulsion engineering needs with a completely new approach based on the “one-stop shop” philosophy for propulsion engineering. Your main concern as a shipowner, is the efficient management and operation of your fleet and you do not need to be an expert in propulsion and maneuvering, you just need to know who to call to get the right answer to your needs in this field.

Our proven methodologies help shipowners reduce fuel costs through a combination of energy-saving devices, CFD simulations and propulsion system upgrades. Whether it’s trim optimisation or propeller redesign, we offer tailored solutions to reduce ship fuel consumption and comply with international efficiency standards.

Ship Performance Optimization with Proven ROI

Before any investment, we conduct a detailed evaluation of your vessel’s propulsion system using CFD technology. Our goal is to uncover real opportunities for fuel savings and efficiency gains. From second-hand vessel retrofits to newbuilds, our energy efficiency solutions are data-driven and results-oriented.

We can assist you from the initial stage of concept development for your next newbuild, through optimization work during project development and during final sea trials. You may need our services to evaluate a second-hand vessel before proceeding to its purchase, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises and evaluate the possible improvements that can be implemented in the propulsion system for a more efficient operation; it is important to evaluate from in advance how much we can optimize a unit in service and at what cost. Many other shipowners only need to improve the performance of their boats in service in the most competitive way, seeking the maximum return on investment.

“Reduce Ship Fuel Consumption with Our Engineering Expertise”

Vessel Performance Optimization Services We Offer

We offer a complete range of performance analysis and engineering services designed to improve vessel fuel efficiency and optimise ship systems.

In a market full of alternative technological solutions, it is difficult to discern which is the best option for each vessel considering the technical difficulties of implementation and the return on investment.

Do you need our services?

CFD Hydrodynamics

We use advanced CFD simulations to analyse water flow around the hull and propulsion system. This helps to detect resistance issues and improve vessel performance, resulting in measurable fuel savings.

Trim optimization

Optimising the vessel’s trim improves stability, reduces drag, and increases energy efficiency. Our data-driven approach helps shipowners reduce fuel consumption on every voyage.

CFD Aerodynamics

CFD analysis of above-water structures allows us to minimise air resistance and improve vessel behaviour in harsh weather. This contributes to overall energy efficiency solutions and operational safety.

Maneuvering troubleshooting

We solve maneuverability problems. Our custom analysis ensures smooth navigation and optimal vessel control in all conditions.

Noise & vibrations

Excessive noise and vibrations often indicate inefficiencies in the propulsion system. We detect and eliminate their sources to enhance comfort, safety, and energy performance.

Sea trials

We have the equipment and experience to perform sea trials and collect data in multiple disciplines ( power measurements, maneuverability, accelerations and movements, etc.)

Performance analysis

Our performance analysis service benchmarks current vessel efficiency and identifies areas for improvement. This supports strategic decisions in vessel performance optimization.
