Climate change and the reduction of our ships' emissions has become a Top-Management priority.
Our CEO Lorenz Weinstabl and CTO Marlon Weinstabl conducted sea trials in the Marmara Sea on the Atlantis Alhambra after her Antifouling was renewed and the engine was overhauled during the Interim Survey and Drydock in Tuzla.
The trial comprised measurements of the engine load at different vessel speeds in a fixed pitch mode (combinator) and at constant speed (variable speed) to show the savings we can achieve if the pitch control propeller is used in fixed pitch and variable engine speed. The results of the trial will then be analyzed to see if we have considerable savings using the combinator. Should this be the case, then the conclusion will be to install frequency converters to the shaft alternator system to enable the use of the shaft generator for supply of the home-load when its nominal speed will drop and the frequency will fall beyond the point it can still supply electric energy.
In the picture from left to right, we have Cem Durmuş (Service Engineer, ESM), Marlon Weinstabl (CTO, Armona), Lorenz Weinstabl (CEO, Armona), Aydın Yılmaz (Technical Manager, Armona), Emrah Demir (Chief Engineer, Atlantis Alhambra) and Erdem Akar (3rd Engineer, Atlantis Alhambra). A special thanks to Captain Serdar Rodoslu and his bridge team who were steering the ship in circles between Yalova and Tuzla with much patience.
