Stena Bulk saves SEK 65 million with efficiency-enhancing measures
At the begnning of year 2013, Stena Bulk initiated a project where traditional energy efficiency and reduced bunker fuel consumption were expanded by the addition of increased efficiency from a more commercial and operational perspective. The relationship between freight and bunker fuel will be maximised still further. Enhancing efficiency will also lower the environmental impact by reducing sulphur oxide emissions by around 1,400 metric tons in 2013, said in the company's press release. Half of the SEK 65 million in savings on an annual basis is considered to be related to technology and half to commercial and operational measures.

Stena leads the way with Eco Suezmax newbuilding
Claiming to be one of the leading exponents of cutting-edge environmentally-efficient ship designs, the Gothenburg-based Stena Bulk has recently introduced its latest tanker newbuilding into service which incorporates a range of energy-saving devices. Built at Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea, the Stena Superior is the first Suezmax tanker in a series of seven 158,700dwt vessels which have dramatically improved energy efficiency. The fuel-saving technology includes optimised hull lines, increased diameter propeller, a bulb rudder, electronically-controlled de-rated main engine and energy-saving fins on the hull. These devices are claimed to achieve a minimum of 15% lower bunker consumption compared with the most efficient, conventional Suezmax tankers currently in service. With a length of 274.23m and a beam of 48m, the newbuilding is the largest tanker in Stena Bulk’s fleet. The newbuilding cost is quoted at $67.4 million which includes Stena upgrades of about $4.5 million for 40 years fatigue life, and fuel saving and environmental equipment worth about $2.5 million. http://www.motorship.com/features101/ships-and-shipyards/stena-leads-the-way-with-eco-suezmax-newbuilding
