Lessons Learned and Value Derived for the Designer, Future Owner
ABS was able to provide unique insights and advice that will enhance the safety and environmental
performance of the proposed vessel. A rational performance evaluation of alternative arrangements against
operational, environmental and regulatory compliance parameters enabled the identification of opportunities
for greater performance as well as the evaluation of innovative arrangements.
AIS big data analysis revealed the specific operation profiles for selected trading patterns, enabling SDARI to
optimize the hull form for either a specific regional trade or a more versatile combination of regional trades.
This approach is expected to provide a significant improvement in hull efficiency and fuel consumption
performance compared with vessels optimized for a standard, single design point.
Techno-economic assessment and ready technology configurations provided roadmaps for future-proofing
assets against expected regulations and operational variables such as fuel oil price. These studies also
optimized the new construction cost preparedness as well as providing a roadmap for a cost-effective and
time-efficient retrofit program to upgrade the vessel for reasons of compliance or market competitiveness.
