As informed, the shipping company took delivery of the vessel Navig8 Excel on January 25. The ship will use a range of technologies that improve operational efficiency, lessen fuel consumption, and reduce emissions, reports Offshore Energy.
About the vessels
Moreover, all six vessels will feature an air lubrication system (ALS) from Marine Technology Solutions, and an exhaust gas cleaning system (EGCS) to remove sulfur, otherwise known as a scrubber.
ALS technology employs a continuous stream of air bubbles to reduce friction and drag between the vessel and the water.
According to Navig8, during recent sea trials of Navig8 Excel, the ALS system resulted in proven efficiencies in fuel consumption and a power gain of 6.89% MT/day.
Meanwhile, the model of EGCS fitted on the MRs has been certified to reduce sulfur emissions to below 0.1%.
Furthermore, Navig8 employs the Shipwatch platform to oversee the performance of its ships and actively contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions through enhanced operational efficiency. All vessels will integrate a CII monitoring system directly connected to the Shipwatch platform.
The vessels will join the Navig8 Gamma8 Pool and will be technically managed by Suntech Maritime.
