Pre-swirl duct retrofit
vendor claim — not yet independently measuredA duct mounted ahead of the propeller that conditions the water flow into it, improving propulsive efficiency on full-form hulls. Benefit depends on the hull's wake field and falls away on fast, fine-form ships.

Which ships it suits
- Segments: Bulk carrier, Oil tanker, Chemical tanker, General cargo ship, Combination carrier
- Size: from 10,000 DWT
- Remaining service life: at least 5 years (payback must fit inside it)
- Engine: two-stroke main engines only
- Service speed: up to ~16 kn — the device underdelivers on faster, finer hulls

Measured real-world outcomes
The reduction range above is a vendor claim. We continuously detect completed retrofits in shipyard-visit, equipment and EU MRV emissions data and measure the actual AER change. Measured results are published per measure once at least 30 controlled observations exist — until then, treat vendor ranges as ceilings: real-world delivery is consistently at or below the low end.
