ADNOC Logistics & Services announced that it has reduced fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 23% across a fleet of 27 vessels. This is part of the ‘Al Daffah Energy Efficiency Project’ to deliver more operational efficiency.
The impact of the project has been significant, as since 2013, ADNOC L&S has reduced its CO2 emissions by 1 million tons.

The project uses digitalization to improve energy performance, including to help route planning, improve fuel monitoring and optimize engine speed. It also includes upgrades, like the installation of more efficient propellers and high-performance hull coating, to improve the vessel thrust.
The company also chartered an LNG vessel, to make sure that slow steaming could be adopted across the fleet, without impacting delivery schedules.
Captain Mohammed Al-Ali, Senior Vice President, Ship Management at ADNOC L&S, mentioned:
As the results show, the level of dedication towards achieving our ambitious targets has been unfaltering throughout this project
Until 2030, ADNOC aims to maximize value from every barrel. Until now, the overall fuel savings from the ‘Al Daffah Energy Efficiency Project’ are 325,000 metric tons of heavy fuel oil.
