"Take a ride on KCC's magic carpet"
In November 2021 KCC raised $25 million exclusively dedicated to a program designed deliver significant cuts in carbon emissions across the fleet and further strengthen KCC' position as a leader in low carbon shipping.
Through the energy efficiency program, KCC’s aim is to position for a future of increasingly strict decarbonization regulations and customer requirements in the shipping industry. Several of the initiatives have already been deployed since, with others in development and others being considered for the future.
In this episode, Martin Wattum takes us on a tour of a typical vessel in the KCC fleet and walks us through each measure of energy saving potential currently being deployed or under consideration, and the carbon cuts we expect to see.
Discussion points include:
Improving technical and operational systems onboard
Improving the interaction between the hull, propeller, and rudder
The pioneering actions we taking to capture the vast energy savings potential of reducing friction between the hull and the water
Exploring ways to optimize performance of KCC’s newest vessels to the fleet
Expectations from the fleet on the savings potential from the initiatives
What does the future hold?
About Wattum: Heads the Projects and Business Transformation department at Torvald Klaveness, with a focus on delivering Safer, Greener and Data Smart Solutions for our fleet and future concepts. Brings experiences from KCC as Senior Project Developer, and as FFA and oil trader and dry bulk Chartering at Klaveness.
