All six vessels will
feature a range of technologies that will improve operational efficiency,
lessen fuel consumption, and reduce emissions. These will include air
lubrication systems (ALS) from Marine Technology Solutions and exhaust gas
cleaning systems (EGCS).
Navig8 reported that,
during recent sea trials of the Navig8 Excel, the ALS system resulted in proven efficiencies in fuel consumption and
a power gain of 6.89% MT/day.
Meanwhile, the model
of EGCS fitted on the MRs has been certified to reduce sulphur emissions to
below 0.1%.
Navig8 added that it uses the Shipwatch platform to
oversee the performance of its ships and actively contribute to the reduction
of CO2 emissions through enhanced
operational efficiency. All vessels will integrate a CII monitoring system
directly connected to the Shipwatch platform.
The new vessels will
join the Navig8 Gamma8 Pool and will be technically managed by Suntech
Maritime.
