The new IMO regulations on emissions and air quality will have an impact on the health of millions of people but also, the cost of the 0,5% Sulphur cap is expected to be large. It will impact ship liners, crude producers and bunker suppliers. There is no turning back on the 2020 0.5% Sulphur cap […]
It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in our afternoon seminar – Charting a course towards the 2020 0.5% Sulphur Cap – taking place on 2 November 2017 at Scandic Hamburg Emporio, Dammtorwall 19, 20355 Hamburg. There, industry representatives can join us to share and discuss their concerns arising from the rapidly changing […]
Blue Ocean Solutions has introduced Engine Performance Software to provide ship operators with a holistic insight into the operating condition and efficiency of the ship’s engine. The software is an important extension of the Emulsified Fuel System to verify the fuel savings gained from the system. It also evaluates the engine condition against factory test […]
Ever wondered what emulsified fuel can actually do for you? Has your boss or company been looking for a way to improve fuel efficiency and/or reduce NOx emissions? Here’s your chance to learn. Hear from Dr. Jerry Ng Kok Loon as he discusses the practical advanced application of emulsified fuel technology to help ship […]
Analysis confirms that installing a BOS Emulsified Fuel System at the same time as a Selective Catalytic Reduction system delivers substantial cost savings As BOS EFS can reduce NOx emission down to 20% at source (i.e during combustion), the size of SCR can be smaller. At the same time, SCR needs to produce less urea […]
Installing EFS The installation of BOS Emulsified Fuel System takes only 5 days in addition to another 5 days for commissioning the system. The installation does not disturb ship’s normal operation. Emulsified Module The system is modular and the only work needed on the ship is to do the connection work. Three by-pass valves would […]
When it comes to water-in-fuel emulsions, the concern over condition of the engine is often raised. Therefore, Blue Ocean Solutions engaged Flame Marine to conduct Cylinder Drain Oil analysis before and after the use of BOS Emulsified Fuel System. Flame Diagnostic provided a detailed diagnosis of wear, combustion, lubrication feed rate and performance. BOS […]
The International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) has agreed on mandatory requirements for ships to record and report their fuel consumption. Shipping is the cleanest form of transport. However, there are 50,000 ships in the world and according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), around 80 per cent […]
With consistent results, verified by independent classification societies on ships and engine manufacturer on test bed, Keppel Offshore & Marine’s subsidiary Blue Ocean Solutions (BOS) has proved that emulsified fuel can bring significant fuel savings adding to the well established NOx reduction, if done correctly. The patented BOS Emulsified Fuel System (EFS) improves combustion efficiency […]
