Addressing the IMO Council, meeting for its 116th session at IMO Headquarters in London, it is evident that the spotlight is on Ship Efficiency too. In line with that here is an interesting guide from MARAD (The U.S. Maritime Administration) where the guide details about the latest bunker saving measures and technologies.
The best part is – it is a FREE to download guide where many ship owners and managers can stay up-to-date with the technology available and measure to adopt.
“The White Paper provides ship owners and operators with an overview of the latest on energy efficiency measures for marine vessels, discussing how the technology works, potential fuel savings, applicability to various vessels types, and lifecycle costs,” said MARAD.
“If implemented, these types of energy efficiency measures may also assist owners of vessels undergoing a major conversion to comply with the Energy Efficiency for Ships Regulations contained in Chapter 4 of MARPOL Annex VI,” explained MARAD.
MARAD notes that the white paper was developed through the Ship Operations Cooperative Program (SOCP), with funding provided by MARAD’s Maritime Environmental and Technical Assistance Program.

Every day there is a huge buzz about some new technology claiming to make a ship energy efficient. While this could be true, it is necessary for every ship owner/manager to ensure that such new technologies indeed offer fuel savings. The only way to ensure is to have a simple, robust data augmentation tool like VEEMS (Viswa Energy Efficiency Management System). There is always a need to have a proper tool to measure and check whether your ships are energy efficient. It is for this reason, Viswa Lab has come out with a user-friendly, robust, data augmentation tool to measure a ship’s energy efficiency standards.
VEEMS has a tag line –
“Only if you can measure it, you can control it!”
