Key Recommendations For Shipyards

Meeting the client’s business requirement by proving market oriented,innovative design and services.

  • Anticipate the owner’s requirement and trade development and develop innovative design with cost advantages in both building and operation. Closely monitor the performance of the vessel delivered,with constant investigation for improvement. The focus should be on ‘anticipation’ and ‘innovation’. Provide the enviroment and incentive  to encourage the development of innovation of design,production technology and software development.
  • Provide an amicable working enviroment and establish organisational structures which encourage the liberation of minds and the free flow of innovative ideas in both design and construction. Promote the creation of a crop of talented and innovative designers in the fields of naval architecture and marine technology,with strong theoretical backgrounds and yet with practical experiences. Reorganise the structure of the state-owned shipyards,whilst introducing advanced management systems for industrial planning and development.
  • Set up transparent,merit assessment system with incentives and rewards for outstanding achivement.
  • Reorganise the system of the enterprise with clear identification of personal and company interest.

Faster and Further With Ecospeed

Ecospeed is an extremely durable hull coatin g that will save on fuel costs and give increased speeds. It is expected to last for up to 25 years and is guaranteed for 10.

Amongst recent application are a 275 metre,5000 TEU container ship,several ice-class cargo vessels and a major cruise liner-with more of each category planned for the near future.

The Belgian Navy have been using Ecospeed on a number of their vessels since 2004 and have committed to aplying in on the remainder of their fleet as the time comes for repainting. The growing appeal of Ecospeed comes down to a number of key factors. The final hull surface has a very low roughness levels. This,together with its corrugated surface,gives fuel savings through reduced consumption and increased speed.

The strength and impermeability of the coating provides a very high degree of protection against mechanical impact and corrosion. The endless cycle of repainting every two to five years can therefore be dispensed with. Even after being tested under extreme Baltic winter and ice conditions it has proven to be an effective protection against mechanical impact.

In addition,the coating has no adverse effect on the enviroment as it is entirely toxis-free. Ecospeed can be used on most ships,offshore vessel and structures. It has proven to be ideally suited for fast moving container and cargo ships,cruise ships and ice-going ships. Its use can remove major headaches for ship superintendents. With no repainting necessary, yet protecting the hull surface against corrosion,there will be many additional advantages such as significant savings on repair and mantainance costs.
