Houlder used digital twin technology to reveal that slow steaming, while reducing emissions, incurs hidden costs like increased maintenance and revenue losses, enabling operators to make informed sustainability decisions.
Slower Isn't Always Smarter
For shipowners, reducing emissions by slowing down seems straightforward. However, slower speeds can lead to hidden costs and inefficiencies.
Houlder tackled this issue for various vessels, each facing unique challenges with slow steaming.
We employed digital twin technology to create virtual vessel models, allowing us to simulate different speed scenarios and assess the impacts on fuel and emissions.
Our analysis incorporated the vessels' original design and operational profiles, providing precise, tailored recommendations.
