Wärtsilä helps Bocimar save energy

The CMB Group subsidiary specialising in the transport of dry bulk will replace existing fairings with ‘EnergoProFins’ (EPFs) to be supplied by Wärtsilä Netherlands. “With this type of equipment, less engine power is needed to deliver the same thrust, resulting in fuel savings of up to about 5%. The investment is thus recouped in about a year,” says that company. The EPFs also reduce noise and vibration caused by propeller operation.
