VFDs on pumps and fans retrofit
vendor claim — not yet independently measuredVariable-frequency drives on cooling-water pumps and engine-room fans so they run at the speed actually needed instead of full speed with throttling. Small individual savings that add up across the auxiliary load.

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.
