Frugal Propulsion
Frugal Propulsion is a revolutionary technology that can help ship owners achieve compliance with the latest environmental regulations while reducing fuel and maintenance costs. With the new regulations from the International Maritime Organization requiring a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from shipping, Frugal Propulsion is an essential solution for anyone looking to reduce their environmental impact and save money.
The system includes several key features that make it an attractive investment for any ship owner. For example, Frugal Propulsion offers a VFD (variable frequency drive) integration option, which eliminates the need for auxiliary engines during day-to-day operations. This leads to significant maintenance savings, as well as immediate fuel savings.
Another key feature of Frugal Propulsion is the Cruise Control (Speed Pilot) function, which simplifies the propulsion process for ship owners. With just the press of a button, customers can enable the speed pilot, and the system takes care of the rest.
In addition to these features, Frugal Propulsion also collects and analyzes data in the cloud to provide customers with valuable business intelligence. The data can be presented in a standalone online visual format, or customers can integrate the information into their own business intelligence systems for even greater insights.
Frugal Propulsion is designed to be simple for customers to use, and it integrates seamlessly with existing systems. It becomes part of the remote control system (RCS) once fitted, and all engine safety and alarm systems remain operational. Customers can control the system using conventional take-over procedures described by the PCS manufacturer.
Frugal Propulsion is also an investment in two phases. Phase one involves intelligent on-top system optimization of RPM and pitch, using data from both new and existing sensors. This leads to significant fuel and CO2 reductions, as well as increased propulsion control. Phase two involves VFD integration, which further reduces the need for auxiliary engines and leads to significant maintenance savings.
Ship Fuel Saving and EEXI Compliance
When it comes to meeting the new EEXI compliance regulations, ship fuel saving is crucial for both the environment and the bottom line. Frugal Propulsion can help ship owners achieve compliance with EEXI requirements while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption, emissions, and maintenance costs.
By implementing Frugal Propulsion’s technology, ship owners can achieve significant fuel and CO2 reductions, leading to reduced operating costs and increased efficiency. In addition, the integration of a VFD can eliminate the need for auxiliary engines, further reducing maintenance expenses.
Not only does Frugal Propulsion’s solution offer significant fuel and maintenance savings, but it also provides valuable business intelligence. By collecting and analyzing data in the cloud, Frugal Propulsion can offer online visual data presentation or integrate the information directly into the ship owner’s business intelligence system, making it a powerful tool for optimizing vessel performance and reducing costs.
With the new EEXI regulations coming into effect on January 1, 2023, ship owners worldwide are searching for innovative and eco-friendly shipping technologies to meet the IMO’s standards. Frugal Propulsion’s technology can help ship owners achieve compliance while simultaneously saving on fuel and maintenance costs, making it an excellent investment for any ship owner looking to improve their bottom line and reduce their environmental impact.
Overall, Frugal Propulsion is an essential solution for any ship owner looking to comply with the latest environmental regulations, reduce their environmental impact, and save money on fuel and maintenance costs.
