The retrofit and upgrade packages include:

• Propeller blades – of the high-efficient Kappel design
• Propeller fairing cone – to be fitted to propeller hub
• Rudder Bulb – to be fitted to existing rudder
• VFD – a Variable Frequency Drive – for shaft alternatoroperation
• Alphatronic load curve – upgraded for variable frequency

The video follows the retrofit and upgrade job for HAFNIA SEAWAYS – performed at Oresund Drydocks in Sweden. With full deployment of this solution - fuel savings available amount to 15-22% - corresponding to up to approx. 9 tons per day.
