摘要

Developments in the collection, storage and analysis of data can make the future efficacy of bulbous bows and other retrofit designs a little more certain, according to DNV GL German and Norwegian classification society, DNV GL, is developing a data tool that will help to define the operational and alternative operational profiles of vessels undergoing efficiency retrofits. The new tool will act as a preliminary study that "may serve as a guideline to setup the future operational profile of the vessel class under consideration for ECO Retrofit Bow," says DNV GL.
