Steady sailing in the decarbonisation era
The current fleet of LNG vessels has seen an uptick in demand, with the increased need for transportation of gas. The question is, can we ensure that even the older generation LNG carriers can remain competitive, while complying with decarbonisation regulations?
Yes, is the short answer. Through an upgrade to a high-performance coating solution, like Hempaguard, you can enhance reference speed (Vref) with up to 0.5 knot, effectively reclaiming part of the EEXI-induced speed reduction, while maintaining a consistent, predictable performance throughout the carrier's entire in-service period.
Immediate impact on power and speed
Don't let regulatory-induced power limitations get in the way of fulfilling your charter agreement. With a proven power reduction of up to 8% and an increase in speed of up to 0.5 knots immediately after application, Hempaguard offers a significant boost to performance metrics while addressing EEXI-induced speed reduction.
