ECOPAC: Revolutionizing Energy Efficiency Through Smart Consumption Strategies

[By: Oceanly]

Oceanly, a frontrunner in digital solutions for the maritime sector, has unveiled its latest innovation: ECOPAC. This product is all about boosting energy efficiency and promoting sustainability within ship electrical systems. It’s a fantastic addition to Oceanly’s lineup, aimed at enhancing vessel performance while cutting costs and minimizing environmental footprints.

Ships operate in various climates—from chilly waters to warmer seas—and often their onboard systems aren’t equipped to handle these shifts effectively. This mismatch can lead to excessive energy use. Enter ECOPAC, which tackles this problem head-on by fine-tuning electrical systems on board so that energy consumption matches real operational demands.

This smart solution employs state-of-the-art technology to track and optimize how electricity is used on vessels. Shipowners can expect reduced waste, lower emissions, and improved efficiency overall. With features like automation, real-time data analysis, and predictive insights, ECOPAC not only helps meet environmental standards but also boosts vessel performance.

The installation process involves setting up Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) at the equipment level along with a cable linking them to the control software. Once everything’s connected, the software adjusts motor speeds based on load requirements—leading to significant cost savings. Users have reported energy reductions of over 60%, alongside decreased CO2 emissions and less wear on machinery. Currently, more than 225 vessels globally are reaping the benefits of ECOPAC.

“The maritime industry needs innovative energy solutions that go beyond mere data collection,” says Frederik lerche-Tornoe, CEO of Oceanly. “With ECOPAC in play, we’re giving operators the tools they need to manage their energy consumption better while reducing their ecological impact.”

ECOPAC is part of Oceanly Performance—a suite designed for digital conversion within maritime operations—making it easier for ships to adopt proactive energy management strategies as they move towards greener practices in shipping.
