Through studies, testing and a systematic approach, DNV and Norwegian shipowner Stolt-Nielsen have initiated these results – a win-win situation for both the shipowner and the environment.

A 10% saving on fuel will reduce the shipowner’s costs and increase its bottom-line figures.

For example, a 10% reduction in NOX emission of one single VLCC will reduce the ship’s NOX emissions by 400 tonnes a year – the same amount as that emitted by 10,000 cars.
