Aiming for an innovative ship design
As part of our mission, it is to maximize the benefits of our valuable clients while being responsible for reducing the environmental burden. We wish to deliver the innovative ship with the ultimate solution for fuel efficiency. This aspiration is the driving force behind our technological evolution.
Energy-saving device with high fuel efficiency
Jointly developed with MTI Co., Ltd., MT-FAST is an energy-saving device that attaches multiple fins in front of the propeller to collect about 3% to 5% of the energy lost from rotational flow generated by the propeller rotations. This energy-saving device is not only popular for the newbuilding ships, but also for the existing ships as well, because it is compact, versatile, and easy to retrofit. In recognition of its contributions for reducing the environmental burden, it has already been installed in over 500 ships and received the 2018 Minister of Environment Award in Japan.
