New container ship hull design will save fuel
The new hull design will make APL’s 10 new ultra large container ships some 20% more fuel efficient per teu compared to existing designs says DNV.
The design has been optimised for an operating profile along the Far East to Europe trade route involving nine speed and draught combinations. The installed propulsive power could be reduced by about 16% compared to the initial hull form optimised for one draft & speed condition.
The first of the new 13,800 teu ships is under construction at Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and will be delivered next year.
