A Bit of History
Eco-ships is an old story
New leap after every energy shock
Steam turbine disappeared after 1980
First large 3000 TEU containerships in 1972 designed for 30 knots

Response after Oil Shock
Steam turbine containerships re-engined
New VLCCs and containerships only with diesel engine
Projected FO price in 1981 for 1990 was $40 a barrel
Engine technology leaped from 165gr/bhp hr to 125 gr/bhp hr and
long stroke engines appeared

Where are we now in terms of
Technological Development?
The oil shocks of 1973 and 1980 already incentivized eco-ships
Engine efficiency research has reached a plateau with electronicengines
Hull form development as well
Technology for energy saving appendages, painting still progress
Emission control on NOX will make engines less efficient

What are really the Shipyards claiming?
Better consumption at full load evenkeel beaufort 0 weather conditionsat a lower speed
How?
By increasing the propeller diameter and lowering RPM
By more economic ultra long stroke engine
By optimizing the hull for a lower speed mainly making it shorter andbeamier (containerships)
All the above however are still on paper. The real savings at sea stillremain to be seen.

What is Really True?
The efficiency of the larger propeller is achieved at the expense ofpropeller immersion. Increased trim to compensate will reduce inpractice the efficiency benefits
Wider hull will experience greater resistance in heavy weatherconditions so the effect of saving in real conditions may be diminished
The main engine SFOC savings are marginal

Can existing Ships Adapt?
The main engine can be de-rated and together with TC cutout will
operate efficiently at low loads
The propeller can be replaced by a new one, optimized for lowerspeeds
Modify the shape of bulbous bow
With these changes on a 8,500 TEU containership built in 2010
compared to a new design you can get the theoretical differencedown to 6%

Examine the case of a post-panamax 5,000 TEU containership
For a new 5,000 TEU containership the TCE required for a 12% equity
IRR is $23,200 USD/day hence the optimal speed is 16.5 knots

Do we Need ECO-Ships?

$424 $418$422 $414
At present we don't need new ships
The premium the eco-ship can command is very small compared to the
investment required
Investment on existing ships is more profitable at todays prices
