More payload at higher speed with less power

Azipod? offers great flexibility in overall vessel design, creating the opportunity for larger, faster and more fuel efficient ships. Improved vessel hydrodynamics, high propulsion efficiency, space and weight savings are all hallmarks of Azipod? propulsion. This has inspired naval architects, yards and ship owners to develop new vessel designs and concepts that transform the unique advantages of Azipod? into more competitive ships and more profitable ship operations.

THE GREEN WAVE

International Maritime Organization IMO is moving on several fronts to combat Climate Change. The organisation is e.g. working on Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) which is supposed to introduce more sustainable planning already from the design phase of new ship.

Furthermore, IMO is slowly bringing along Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan ? for new and existing ships ? which incorporates best practices for the fuel efficient operation of the ship. There are also guidelines for voluntary use of the Ship Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator for new and existing ships, which enables the operators to measure the ship's fuel efficiency.

Shipyards are responding to the call. As new ship concepts are emerging, it is widely acknowledged in the industry that energy efficiency must be already built-in in the process. If one simply tries to add energy efficient measures on top of a traditional system, the benefits may be quite minor. In order to affect true change, the green approach must be a part of the planners' mindset from day one.

STX Europe has been conducting studies which suggest that the energy efficiency of the ship concept can be improved by developing the operating profile and by adopting multi-use facilities. If the time-atport were to decrease, the time-at-sea would in turn increase and the operational speed could be lowered ? thus shrinking the need for propulsion energy.

Mika Heiskanen from STX discovered that if the time-at-sea on a 7-day cruise increases by five hours, one can achieve fuel savings of 4-5%.

However, one can not easily meddle with the time the cruise patrons have to visit the port cities. STX studies see the answer to lie in the continuous development of the logistics side ? for both the ship and the port.

Meyer Werft is another shipbuilder going green. The latest cruise ship out of the gate, Celebrity Equinox, boasts e.g. 200 solar panels situated throughout the ship. In addition, the hull features a special silicon coating that reduces water resistance.

Information technology solutions are an important part of the puzzle. Maritime software monitors the energy efficiency and fuel consumption on the ships and optimises routes and speeds. The Finns have special expertise in this field as well: for example 90% of the world's cruise and passenger ships utilise loading calculation software from Helsinkibased Napa.

contents

Europe is an interesting piece in the global cruise puzzle in many regards. More Europeans are cruising than ever before and the European source market is growing at a historical rate of 11%. Pages 6?9.

As the cruise ship AIDAluna has been making the rounds all over the Baltic Sea, the "heavenly" ship has certainly made an impact. Pages 28?33.
