Enhance voyage efficiency with automated RPM and thrust optimization

As the maritime industry shifts toward cleaner operations and new fuel strategies, vessels with Fixed Pitch Propellers (FPP) must manage propulsion with high precision to maintain efficiency and reduce emissions. Achieving this manually can be challenging, especially as operators balance efficiency, safety, and compliance requirements. Aperio SmartPropulsion addresses this need by delivering precise, real‑time optimization of RPM based on data. The system automates the thrust and speed to help you save fuel, comply with emission regulations, and gain better transparency of onboard data. The system identifies the most efficient RPM for the navigator’s selected speed, improving fuel utilization across varying loads and environments. The system forms a unified solution that adapts to changing conditions to improve vessel performance and documents savings using the Hindcast model, a methodology approved by Lloyd’s Register.
