ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BULK CARRIERS WITH WORLD-CLASS QUALITY
From 2017 onwards , ships heading to or from an EU port have been required to report their environmental impact thoroughly from fuel consumption , CO 2 emissions , transported cargo to time and distance of the transportation . While there are a variety of designs in the industry , top of class in effectiveness , annual savings and limiting the environmental impact are the Bluetech Finland bulk carriers .
Designed to provide the best overall cost efficiency in their class , Bluetech Finland guarantees a smooth process from the first discussions to the final delivery of the vessel . Currently available are standard designs that include general cargo carrier BT38 and bulkers Bluetech 42 , 45 and 64 .
All designs are based on the latest hydrodynamic research , using the top of the line CFD tools combined with extensive model testing and renown expertise . An efficient ship has a hull with a high block coefficient , giving more deadweight and cargo volume . Optimized aft and bow lines provide low resistance across the whole speed range and a high propulsion efficiency . In addition , the application of extensive FE analysis and optimized structural arrangements contribute to low steel weight .
Compared to the other bulkers on the market , Bluetech Finland carriers have outperformed other eco-bulkers in their class .
” According to comparison the average annual daily fuel oil consumption of our 42k and 45k bulkers at 10 knots is 14.4 mt , while the closest competitor comes at 15.8 mt per day at 10 knots . That ’ s a 1.5 mt difference per day . Compared to other same size bulkers in the same owner fleet , Bluetech bulkers outperform them by 4.5 mt per day at 10 knots . The annual savings with our bulkers are between 150 000 and 450 000 USD . Annual emission reduction is to 3.500 mt per vessel ”, says Tommi Jansson , VP , Project Department at Bluetech Finland .
Several bulk carriers made with Bluetech Finland design are in use , and a handful more have been ordered recently – one of them being a 65k Ultramax , which will be built at Dong bac shipyard for Truong Minh shipping and will be designed together with Bluetech Finland ’ s local partner , Visec . The vessel will also fulfill EEDI III requirements with traditional engine configuration . n
