The tool currently concentrates on specific ship types, such as cruise, general cargo, RoPax, and RoRo vessels.

OSK Design Energy head Jeppe Elgaard Jensen said: “With the increasing demand for more energy-efficient, greener operations and the drive toward decarbonisation in the maritime industry, we believe the OSK Energy Insight calculator will be an essential tool for shipowners looking to make informed decisions about their energy use and how different choices could impact future strategic decisions regarding taxation, CII, fuel costs, GHG emissions and penalties.

“This tool not only helps shipowners assess their current energy needs but also offers insight into how they can transition towards more sustainable, cost-effective options through the interactive graphical illustrations.

“With the tool, users can evaluate various strategies, technologies, and fuel mixes, as well as the impacts of incorporating battery systems and onshore power supply.”

OSK Design is a global supplier of maritime design and consultancy services, catering to operators of all sizes, both international and domestic, as well as shipyards worldwide.
