This is an overview of our Fuel Saving Features
A vessel’s trim refers to the difference between its aft draft (depth at the stern) and forward draft (depth at the bow). In simple terms, it describes how the ship sits in the water—whether it is level, bow-up, or bow-down. Trim affects the vessel’s wetted surface and water flow around the hull, which in turn influences resistance and fuel consumption. Optimal trim minimises drag and improves energy efficiency. Adjusting trim is usually done by shifting ballast water between tanks or planning cargo distribution. Modern systems like Manta Marine's TrimSense provide real-time measurements and recommendations to help crews maintain optimal trim for fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
Trim optimisation is one of the most cost-efficient measures to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. TrimSense is delivered either stand-alone, or as an add-on/upgrade to existing FuelOpt systems. It offers decision making support to the crew, helping them to operate the vessel's trim settings according to best practice. TrimSense collects accurate real-time data, enables detailed trim performance follow-up, analysis and further improvements.
