Reduce Fuel Consumption and Minimize Emissions for CPP Vessels
Aperio SmartPropulsion for CPP vessels helps you reduce fuel consumption, improve compliance, and optimize operational efficiency. Our AI-driven and cloud-connected system constantly optimizes engine RPM and propeller pitch, delivering fuel saving up to 15% for CPP vessels.
It integrates seamlessly with existing ship setups, ensuring rapid ROI and delivers safer, more efficient performance.
Optimize Fleet Efficiency With SmartPropulsion
Adaptive Combinator Curve
Aperio SmartPropulsion continuously and automatically coordinates engine RPM and propeller pitch to keep the engine operating in its most efficient load range. Propeller curves for the current operating conditions is transmitted from cloud to the on- board SmartPropulsion system which helps in helps in operating the vessel at the best efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Optimizing your propulsion system isn’t just about compliance, it’s about unlocking real savings, improving efficiency, and extending the lifespan of your fleet. See frequently asked questions about propulsion optimization on FPP vessels and discover Aperio SmartPropulsion.
Fuel savings can vary, but SmartPropulsion reports prove up to 15% reduction in fuel consumption on CPP vessels, depending on operational conditions when the system is engaged.
Aperio SmartPropulsion does not impact the engine health. Engine is operated below the load limit curve at the running margin.
Yes, our Aperio SmartPropulsion system has predictive maintenance and help predict potential problems and enable proactive maintenance, reducing the chances of unexpected downtime and costly repairs, leading to more reliable vessel operations.
For vessels with controllable pitch propellers (CPP), savings can be documented through direct A/B onboard comparison. Operators can run the vessel for a period with SmartPropulsion activated and for a period without it, at the same speed and conditions, and compare the fuel consumption directly.
This A/B comparison is possible because CPP vessels allow the system to optimize the interaction between propeller pitch and engine load, enabling a measurable, real‑time fuel reduction.
We also generate reports on real voyage data to show impact of Aperio Smartpropulsion in reducing fuel consumption.
