June 30 (LNGJ) - Ascenz Marorka, the smart-shipping unit of French LNG gas storage technology firm GTT, has obtained Type Approval certification from European classification society DNV for its advanced Shaft Power Limitation solution to enable cleaner shipping.
“The solution helps ship-owners and operators comply with the International Maritime Organisation regulations aimed at curbing green-house gas emissions and carbon intensity by 40 percent before 2030,” said Ascenz Marorka. “It monitors propeller shaft power and signals an alert in the wheelhouse if the shaft power exceeds the EEXI calculated maximum power. The system logs the periods where the limit was exceeded and enables crew to give comments,” it added.
