Short description
Speed optimization focuses on operating the ship at speeds that minimize fuel consumption and emissions while still meeting schedule requirements. Even small reductions in speed can lead to significant energy savings.
What it includes
- Selection of optimal cruising speed for a given voyage
- Avoidance of unnecessary high-speed operation
- Adjusting speed based on schedule, weather, and port availability
Why it matters
Lower and more consistent speeds reduce fuel use, emissions, and engine wear.
