1 Our competence saves your fuel FuelOpt system Optimized operation of the propeller and the main engine means fuel saving and reliability when the vessel operates in reduced service speed Increased efficiency will make long-term impact on both the environment and on your shipping business Reduced fuel consumption Continuous optimization Adaptive functionality Main Engine protection Slow Steaming Management Operation in optimized speed and/or consumption Report Center Performance/Efficiency Management Presented on the Bridge aid for crew decision Logged and monitored in the ECR Performance reports to the Fleet Management Fleet Analytics tool application

2 Increased performance performance in slowsteaming operation in slow-steaming operation A controllable pitch propeller has This result in a propulsive system only one optimal design point that operates inefficiently. The which is corresponding to when FuelOpt system operates the the pitch distribution of the blade is propulsion system at lower RPM equivalent to the propeller design and with optimal load of the pitch. The propeller is normally main engine. The adaptive designed to have its optimal optimization ensures maximum efficiency at a vessel speed that performance in all vessel speeds corresponds to 85% MCR. and load conditions. At the same Operating the vessel below the time the main engine is design vessel speed means that protected from overload in the the pitch has to be decreased if new operational mode of the the RPM is kept constant. vessel.

3 Bridge Signals Engine 1 Interface (Engine 2 Interface) Fuel System Interface Power Interface Propeller Control System Interface Alarm Interface FuelOpt system overview Optimal and safe utilization of the propeller and the main engines is attained by the FuelOpt system monitoring feature and enhanced load control. The system reads and analyses external signals in order to optimize the operation of the propeller and the main engines. This adaptive optimization ensures highest possible performance in the new operational mode of the slow-steaming vessel The FuelOpt system is configured to give guidelines about the operation and present userfriendly information to the Chief Engineer on-board. The system can also monitor and log business critical operational data. Power electronics can be added to the system as customized solutions such as frequency converter to the shaft generator if it should be operated in the FuelOpt mode of reduced RPM

4 FuelOpt Report Center Performance/Efficiency Management Performance data automatically collected onboard and sent to the office Lean Marine Fleet Analytics Application tool to receive and present performance data Automatic import of the latest data reports Trend analysis with historical data Compare the performance in the fleet

5 State of the art hardware and software FuelOpt Core Unit and Operator Panels Speed/power optimization Maximum fuel consumption reduction Continuously optimized propeller pitch and RPM Adaptive load control Safe M/E operation Easy user interface FuelOpt Controls FuelOpt is usually installed in parallel to existing system. When existing control system is obsolete or disfunctional, a complete CPP control system solution can be supplied. The system will be integrated together with the FuelOpt system. Lean Marine CPP control systems is based on the most reliable technology and design available.
