Project Overview
In April 2026, Kingfisher successfully completed a custom high-efficiency propeller retrofit for M/V ANANYA NAREE at Shanhaiguan Shipyard, China, achieving full compliance with IMO EEXI & CII requirements and delivering measurable fuel savings.
The new fixed-pitch propeller was specially designed based on the vessel’s original propeller, engine characteristics, and actual operating profile, using advanced lifting-line and lifting-surface hydrodynamic analysis.
Key objectives:
lReduced fuel consumption
lOptimized service speed
lLower CO₂emissions
lImproved propulsion reliability
Kingfisher provided full on-site technical support during drydock and sea trial phases, ensuring precise installation and system alignment.
Scope included:
lOriginal propeller removal
lNew propeller blue fitting & pressing-up
lShaft alignment checks and bearing jack-up test
lMain engine crank web deflection measurement
lSea Trials & Performance Verification
lComprehensive sea trials were conducted, covering:
Speed trial
TVC / torque verification
Fuel Oil Consumption (FOC) measurement
Results: 7% Fuel Consumption Reduction
Analysis of sea trial and operational data shows an average fuel consumption reduction of approximately 7%, delivering immediate economic and environmental benefits.
Propeller optimization remains one of the most cost-effective short-term solutions for decarbonization.
This project demonstrates how targeted hydrodynamic upgrades can deliver fast, verifiable returns without major machinery modification.
