The best bottom line possible
The cost of fuel is rising. Emission limits are becoming stricter. And the pace of change is accelerating. The best path to sustainability, increased competitiveness, and combatting climate change is efficiency optimization. We have digital solutions that help ship owners with fuel efficiency and emission reduction.
Operational intelligence is the key to achieving peak potential on your vessel. In fact, MAN Energy Solutions helps you make the best operational decisions for your whole fleet. We have expert knowledge about meeting current and future emission regulations as well as how to best reduce fuel consumption. This helps keep your OPEX to a minimum – and gives you the certainty that you can meet your customers’ demands.
For ship owners, emission efficiency translates into regulatory compliance and, therefore, into the unrestricted mobility of their ships across national and international waters.
Efficient
Higher fuel costs and increased exhaust emissions regulations are major challenges for the maritime industry. Our portfolio offers a range of technologies and solutions that help optimize asset performance in terms of emissions, economy, and operation.
We help you meet your efficiency targets by optimizing OPEX and fuel consumption. For new assets as well as for existing equipment via our retrofit solutions.
MAN Energy Solutions offers you the expertise and tools to track and detect critical effects, in vessel performance, separate components such as engines, hull or propeller, and whole fleets. MAN Fluid Monitor provides an early warning system to discover any secondary effects. The MAN EcoLoad tool provides optimal operation advice for complete plants with multiple engines.
Alternative fuels
Efficiency optimization is one of the factors driving the interest in alternative fuels for shipping. As service experts, at At MAN PrimeServ we specialize in retrofitting engines to run on alternative fuels, such as LNG, ethane, LPG, or methanol, mean you can greatly reduce SOx, NOx, CO2, and particulate matter, enabling you to comply with global environmental regulations, secure worldwide port access, and meet your own sustainability targets. Our knowledge extends along the whole alternative fuels value chain. By continuously researching and developing state-of-the-art retrofitting solutions, we can now offer multiple options for full fuel flexibility with data-supported operation.
Retrofitting a dual-fuel engine is one of the most effective ways to drive greater efficiency and profitability from your fleet. A dual-fuel conversion gives you the fuel flexibility to take advantage of optimal fuel prices; it can make sure your vessel complies with IMO emissions targets and can extend the operational lifetime of your vessel, which means a greater return for your investments.
PrimeServ Assist
PrimeServ Assist lets us keep your equipment running at peak efficiency and performance. How do we know? We developed our so-called Performance Score, which breaks down all of our knowledge about engine operation into one single score. By looking at only one number, you can check your fleet performance at a single glance.
Of course, we incorporate sub-scores as well, which inform you about potential inefficiencies. And we are happy to advise you on how to resolve them, which keeps your efficiency high and your OPEX down.

PMI ACCo is a fully automatic system that will constantly help you secure optimal engine tuning regardless of engine load, load range, load changes, and varying fuel calorific values.
PMI ACCo is based on a patented closed loop algorithm. Using values from the engine’s performance trial as reference, the algorithm adjusts the fuel index and exhaust valve operation of each cylinder. PMI ACCo is fully automatic and works in all load ranges to ensure the lowest possible fuel consumption.

Synchrophasing is a new, and highly effective tool introduced to reduce vibrations of both vessel and engine structure in ships with twin propulsion design.
A comprehensive test period covering over 15 ships shows a vibration reduction measurement in the range of 50-70%.

MAN EcoTorque is a governor control update developed to improve cylinder liner condition and save fuel.
Instead of governing a steady rpm, the engine speed is allowed to drift within a specified range. This means that short-term external influences will not put excess strain on the engine, and the fuel index will remain steady.

MAN Load Optimizer is an engine control system update that improves the cylinder liner condition during engine load up and during load changes.

MAN Energy Solutions Signs with Spire to Accelerate Digitalisation Strategy
MAN Energy Solutions has selected Spire Global, Inc., a global provider of space-based data, analytics and space services, to provide weather data and real-time automatic identification system (AIS) vessel-tracking data.
According to McKinsey & Co, the shipping industry can decrease fuel consumption by 1% through optimised vessel execution and performance management mechanisms, utilising AIS and weather data for route mapping.
MAN Energy Solutions will accordingly integrate Spire’s AIS and weather data into – among other tools – its digital solution, MAN-CEON, a digital platform used to support monitoring and advisory tools for the decarbonisation and optimisation of marine, power and industrial equipment. This integration aims to provide customers with improved performance, troubleshooting and decarbonisation insights.
To further accelerate the rate of digitalisation in the maritime industry, MAN Energy Solutions and Spire will also collaborate on the development of AI models designed to analyse engine data and create more cost-efficient solutions for its customers.
Gregory Puckett, Chief Digital Officer of MAN Energy Solutions, said: "Our driving strategy at MAN Energy Solutions revolves around 'moving big things to zero', which means we aim to help decarbonise key sectors of the global economy through systems that bring down emissions that have been historically hard to abate. The enrichment of our product data with Spire’s AIS and weather data will unlock further optimisation for our products, and further our goal to improve engine performance and decarbonisation."
About Spire Global, Inc.
Spire Global is a global provider of space-based data, analytics and space services.
