Efficiency upgrade for Hansa

Hansa Shipping has been using Interschalt’s MACS3 loading computer for a number of years and has opted for a system upgrade to improve efficiency.

Dieter Mackeprang, managing director, Interschalt, said: “Combining the loading computer with a sophisticated module for improving efficiency by optimising trim is another step in the right direction to being able to offer a modern, energy-efficient fleet to our charterers.”

“With TROP, every customer can optimise trim easily and hence save fuel and money,” he added.

Interschalt’s TROP software optimises trim with regards to the current loading condition and main engine power.

As an integrated module of the MACS3 loading computer, TROP ensures best possible ballast distribution, whereby extreme demands are made in terms of fuel efficiency and safety alongside vessel stability.
