Marine Environmental Consultant

Energy Optimization

In a world, where there at times are drastic changes in climate, we should all consider the way we live and work. We should all help to conserve natural resources and reduce environmental impact by, for example, reducing carbon dioxide emissions. As your marine environmental consultant, FKAB is therefore working to optimize shipping vessels to enable lower fuel and energy consumption.

We assist our clients in creating energy efficient ships that perfectly match their specific routes, trades, and operational needs. As your marine environmental consultant, we deliver the technology that allows you to make a difference.

Sustainable Consultant Services from FKAB

The maritime industry is constantly exploring new innovations, with new alternative fuels for ships of all types emerging on the horizon. Therefore, our vessels are built with the capability to be retrofitted or converted to accommodate new alternative fuels as they become viable options, such as: liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied biogas (LBG), methanol, ethanol, ammonia, hydrogen, batteries and flow batteries.
The hull is a critical component influencing a ship’s hydrodynamic performance and fuel efficiency, making it a vital aspect of achieving carbon neutral shipping. As a marine environmental consultant, we know that designing an optimized hull involves a delicate balance of multiple factors, each contributing to the vessel’s overall efficiency and operational capability.
Implementing smart systems that monitor and optimize energy use can lead to significant savings, making energy efficiency a critical focus area in sustainable shipbuilding.
When it comes to regulations, we of course follow the regional regulations such as the European Union’s stringent emission standards and carbon taxation systems. This to adopt greener technologies and practices.

Our Expertise

We analyze the entire ship and individual systems based on items such as environment, regulations and perspectives which can be either user-related, have to do with energy or are of a technical and/or economic nature. As a marine environmental consultant we for example look at:

  • Pressure drop calculations and flow optimization
  • System and pump curve matching
  • Main and auxiliary engine configuration including related equipment
  • WHR (Waste Heat Recovery)
  • Ventilation
  • Evaluation of ship lines – propulsion optimization
  • Other energy optimization
