Marine engineering consultants
We design smart, energy-efficient marine systems that optimize performance, reduce emissions, and enhance sustainability through advanced engineering solutions.
Overview
Smart System Designs
FKAB can produce installation plans both for new machinery and systems, and for modification of existing systems. As marine engineering consultants we have experience in complete engine installations, cargo systems, ballast systems and environmental updates.
How we can Help Optimize your Vessel
Our mission is to implement smart systems that meet both sustainability and performance requirements. For example, we focus on:
Waste Heat Recovery
FKAB’s marine engineering consultancy and services focus on utilizing waste heat from engines and cooling systems, in order to generate additional power or heat instead of discarding it. Solutions like exhaust gas boilers capture heat from engine exhaust gasses, while Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems convert waste heat into electricity, enhancing overall energy efficiency.
Intelligent Ventilation Systems
Implementing adaptive ventilation in engine rooms and other onboard spaces reduces unnecessary energy use by adjusting airflow based on real-time conditions. For example, when engines are not running at full capacity, fans operate at lower speeds to save energy without compromising safety or performance.
Onboard Equipment
Regardless of your needs, FKAB’s marine engineering consultancy helps you to integrate high-quality, durable components to ensure optimal system performance while decreasing the need for frequent maintenance or replacements. We look at material selection, energy-efficient components, propulsion systems and integrated power systems. Also, harmonizing engines, gearboxes, and power management systems. A well-matched drivetrain, including the engine and transmission, contributes to smooth operation and efficiency.
Usage of Shore Power
Traditionally, ships have relied on their own energy systems, often powered by onboard generators. This requires significant amounts of energy which may come from fossil fuel-based generators. But by utilizing shore power as an external energy source – ideally from renewable sources – FKAB’s marine engineering consultancy can significantly reduce the ships reliance on onboard generators, lowering emissions and operating more efficiently. This method not only supports green shipping initiatives but also helps optimize energy use during port operations.
