Marintec 201129-11-2011
At the Marintec 2011 show in Shanghai, both Easeacon and Fuelsaver will be on display. Traditionally, Marintec has been the Chinese shipyards opportunity to get foreign suppliers under one roof. Now, with the increasing influence on the global from Chinese shipowners, also suppliers with products supporting ship operations are targeted at the exhibition. Therefore, both Easeacon and FuelSaver will be demonstrated on the stand, and visitors can get a free estimate on the savings potential for their particular ship. We hope to see you among the many visitors at the Marine Alignment stand on the Danish Pavillon in Hall 5, booth no. 5C61-11.
Kormarine 201130-10-2011
When you do something for the first time, you'd better do it good. This first time Easeacon was on display at the Kormarine it was on two locations simultaneously; on a separate stand on the Danish pavillon, and represented by Mesco Ltd., who had their own large stand with several other products to demonstrate. At the same time, not only Easeacon was marketed, but the FuelSaver was highlighted and very well received. Although it is more targeting the ship owners, the ship yards and ship designers were also interested in the FuelSaver to make their products more attractive.
FuelSaver introduced successfully26-10-2011
The first introduction of FuelSaver to the maritime market has been successful. Great interest in saving fuel has been observed, and ships which sail when not fully loaded and in ballast are natural targets for saving fuel; great savings can be made via optimized cargo planning and ballasting. Complex sailing patterns require better optimizing tools.
Several ship owners have already shown great interest in the FuelSaver, a number of FuelSaver orders have been placed and the first installations are being prepared. We expect this to be the biggest development in Easeacon's history, and certainly what will bring the greatest value most immediately to our customers.
See FuelSaver live at Kormarine 2011
Visit us at the Kormarine 2011 exhibition in Korea and watch a live demonstration of FuelSaver. You will be offered the opportunity to order a free calculation of the savings potential for your particular ship. In addition to FuelSaver, we will also be displaying the latest Easeacon software features, including AutoBallast and Extended Visibility (SOLAS MSC (99)73, Reg. 22).
The Kormarine exhibition takes place 26-29 October 2011.
You will find us at both the Danish Marine Group pavilion (booth S73) and the MESCO Ltd. stand in Hall 1 (booth G71

New Easeacon module "FuelSaver"19-04-2011
During the next month we will release our latest Easeacon module "FuelSaver".
FuelSaver is fully integrated in Easeacon, and based on genetic algorithms; FuelSaver saves fuel by finding a series of ballast solutions which are optimized with regards to minimizing the shaft horsepower needed to maintain a certain speed through the water.
Not only will FuelSaver give you solutions within your selected trim range, but FuelSaver will also tell you, if you can save even more fuel by allowing a different trim.
- All ballast solutions are checked for compliance with strength, stability etc.
- Add your own criteria of minimum GM, trim, etc.
- Check savings by comparing with the ship’s “before” condition
- Print a report to support fleet performance initiatives
- Save fuel, save money, go greener.
More information will follow. Keep an eye on our website during the next month.
For more information now, please give us a call.
