In the recent publication “Retrofits for Energy and Emissions Improvements,” ABS provides a comprehensive guide to understanding how technology upgrades can improve energy efficiency and facilitate regulatory compliance.
Modernization with an impact on energy efficiency
With an analytical and detailed approach, the report explores various modernization alternatives depending on the operational specificities of each vessel. From optimized propulsion systems to emission reduction technologies, the document offers comparative scenarios that help shipowners make informed decisions.
In a global scenario where environmental regulations are intensifying, ABS details the classification requirements and current regulations that directly impact retrofit projects. In addition, it emphasizes the need to plan each intervention considering the system as a whole, evaluating the cross effect between technologies.
This report gathers best practices from operators and managers for each phase of the project: from technology selection to implementation at scale. ABS highlights its leadership in simulation and technical advisory services, which allow verification of the suitability of each solution to the operational profiles of fleets.
The market update included in the document reveals the latest statistics on the installed capacity in shipyards to implement energy efficiency technologies(EETs), allowing the feasibility of these upgrades to be gauged globally.
