Vessel owners, naval architects, and boat builders are making significant commitments and investments to transition to electric or hybrid propulsion systems. Our Data-driven intelligence approach can help minimize costs and enable new revenue streams.
Here are eight key questions we will help you answer:
1. Can the vessel go electric/hybrid?
By analyzing your existing vessel’s energy and voyage profile, we can use high-resolution data to inform the decision and determine whether transitioning to electric or hybrid is feasible.
2. What sizes of batteries do I need?
The ideal battery size can be determined by analyzing your vessel’s energy usage and operational patterns. We ensure you can continue operating as usual and avoid the cost and weight of oversizing the batteries.
3. What size of motor do I need?
By analyzing your vessel’s power needs, we can recommend the most efficient propulsion system, whether inboard or outboard.
4. How much GHG emissions can I reduce?
Once your current GHG emissions are quantified, we can help project how much you can reduce them by transitioning to electric or hybrid systems.
5. What size of charger do I need?
Based on your vessel’s energy demands, we provide the data needed to make informed decisions about shoreside charging and grid requirements to match your operational needs.
6. What operating savings can I expect?
The expected savings from switching to electric or hybrid propulsion can be calculated based on your current fuel consumption.
7. Can I identify operational efficiencies?
Analyze and identify areas to optimize energy and fuel usage, reduce emissions, and implement real-time monitoring for compliance reporting and performance forecasting.
8. What is the value of Vessel-to-Grid (V2G)?
V2G technology allows your vessel to feed energy back into the grid when docked. We help you calculate the financial and environmental benefits, including potential revenue and energy cost savings.
We are witnessing a significant transition as fleet owners move from merely considering the advantages of electric or hybrid vessels to actively operating electric vessels and making substantial commitments and investments to transition more of their fleets.
BlueGrid Vessel Insights offers comprehensive support to help you make well-informed, sustainable decisions about the future of your vessels. From assessing feasibility to forecasting savings, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
