 Performance Optimization Process

• Hullform
- Low resistance at whole draft range
- Equal wake field
- Space for large diameter propeller

• Main Engine
- Low SFOC
- Low RPM to enable a large diameter propeller

• Propeller
- Large diameter -> low load -> high efficiency
- High efficient propeller design

• Fuel Saving Devices

 Hullform Optimization

Oct. 2012 Schmidt Maritime 6

 Hullform Optimization

• Hullform development with FORCE 2006

• CFD analysis by FORCE

• Tanktest by FORCE, DK

• Slow vessel

• Wide draft range

• “High” Block Coefficient

• No Bulbous Bow

• Barge type stern

 Hullform Optimization

• Performance Assessment by MARIN 2012

Conclusion :
Max 1,5% optimization potential

Oct. 2012 Schmidt Maritime 8

 Propeller

• NPT Propeller (New Profile Type)

• Stone Marine, UK / Sumitomo Patent

• High propeller efficiency (+2%)

• Smaller optimal diameter (-4%)
