Overview
The
ESP 2000 Speed Pilot is an advanced engine control system for ocean going
vessels. Its primary purpose is to reduce the amount of fuel used by combining
precision engine control with the voyage requirements of the vessel. Typical
results produce a 5 to 7 percent reduction in fuel consumption, with a slight
speed increase when running at maximum speed.
To facilitate maintenance planning and failure analysis, the system also
provides optional data collection capability from existing ships systems.
The ESP 2000 is operated as a bridge navigational control. It is fully adaptable
to load, weather and other operational factors that may affect the voyage.
Precise control of engine operating limits is available to the Chief engineer
from a control panel located in the vessels main control room.
Key Benefits
 | Reduces fuel consumption while maintaining or increasing average vessel
speed |
 | Promotes effective fleet operations and maintenance management |
 | Automatically maximize your vessels' miles per ton at different loads and
cruising speeds |
 | Maintains steady speeds as wind and sea conditions change |
 | Automatically sets throttles to maximize efficiency and improve on time
arrival |
 | Optional fully integrated data acquisition system provides automatic data
collection from existing monitoring systems |
 | Flexible hardware & software architecture support customer specific data
acquisition & analysis applications |
 | Advanced software distills vessel performance data into useful management
information |
Payback
Tests show the ESP 2000 system can pay for itself.
Based on average fuel savings of 5 percent, the estimated payback for the ESP
2000 system ranges from 12 months to 24 months depending on system configuration and
vessel utilization.
