Yara Marine, a green technology provider firm, has announced the 300th vessel contract for FuelOpt, its automated propulsion optimisation technology.
“The order strengthens Yara’s presence in the rapidly growing sector of vessel optimization, as shipowners seek to minimize fuel costs and reduce emissions in line with recent regulatory requirements,” commented a Yara Marine official.
FuelOpt, according to the statement, increases operational performance by automating the regulation of critical operational parameters such as vessel speed, fuel consumption, and propulsive power as set by the crew.
Furthermore, Yara Marine claims the technology allows operators to meet operating goals while adhering to emission-reduction rules such as the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and the Energy Efficiency Design Index for Existing Ships (EEXI).
