Yara Marine's FuelOpt demonstrates significant fuel savings

20 March 2023 - Rederiet Stenersen AS and Ektank AB have confirmed that vessels with Yara Marine Technologies' propulsion optimization system FuelOpt have achieved fuel savings of 10% and above. This has been independently analyzed and confirmed by the software and data services company NAPA. The findings documented a 17.9% increase in fuel savings for Stenersen's Sten Bothnia over 12 months, while Ektank's Ekfjord realized 10.3% fuel savings over 24 months.

Christopher Stenersen, Environmental Advisor at Rederiet Stenersen AS, said: "These impressive fuel savings demonstrate the success of our emissions reduction strategies - implemented nearly a decade ago - to ensure greener operations onboard our fleet. With pressing decarbonization targets in shipping and rising demand for ESG reporting, Yara Marine's FuelOpt has allowed us to demonstrate clear and consistent operational improvements, while also enabling us to identify gaps and opportunities in our current procedures. The Stenersen fleet was one of the earliest adopters of FuelOpt, completing our fleetwide implementation between 2014-2016. It remains an essential solution for us, which is evident by our decision to install it on 4 more vessels recently added to our fleet."
