Successful Pilot – Viking Line Orders Elogrids for a Second Vessel M/S Viking XPRS

The purpose of Elogrids is to reduce a ship’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This decision significantly decreases the environmental impact of marine traffic. M/S Viking XPRS is the second Viking Line ship to have Elogrids installed.Elogrids reduce a M/S Viking XPRS fuel consumption about 2 %, which leads to about 500 kilos of fuel saved per day. This reduction means 1 500 kilos less CO\2\ emissions per day. Elogrids are installed at the entrance of tunnel thrusters. They reduce additional resistance from tunnels in normal operation and improve propeller thrust force when
