Vroon’s car carrier Le Mans Express, recently completed her dry-docking and first special survey at Palumbo Shipyard in Messina, Italy.
During her docking, the vessel was fitted with a Propeller Boss Cap Fin (PBCF) to improve propeller efficiency. In addition, she was equipped with ABB consumption-monitoring equipment.
These modifications represent another step forward in making our modern PCTC fleet even more fuel efficient. We have commenced a fuel-efficiency programme for the entire car carrier fleet. As part of this programme, all M-type car carriers will be fitted with a PBCF, resulting in a fuel saving of up to 5%. Vroon’s S-type car carriers are already equipped with stator fins for higher propulsion efficiency.
Following successful sea trials, Le Mans Express left the Shipyard last Sunday 1 February 2015. While passing the Piraeus latitude the following day she was redelivered to her charterers Neptune and is currently underway to Yenikoy, Turkey.
