13 Mari (Accelerator)

Company Description: 13 Mari Ltd decreases the cost of fuel for the maritime operators, lowers operating expenses, optimizes crossing times and increases profit. The company has created a resource for maritime vessel owners to increase hull efficiency of their vessels through the water for the duration of the voyage. Our first-generation family elements resulted in a measured 3.7% drag coefficient reduction, which translates into several benefits: carbon emissions and underwater noise reduction, decreased fuel consumption and resulting fuel cost savings. What makes our solution so remarkable is scalability, ease of implementation, and passive installation. Because the elements used in the 13 Mari Ltd solution are based in common physics and fluid dynamics science, they can be attached to any commercial shipping vessel in order to garner the efficiencies & savings. The elements in our solution are passive, installed externally to the hull with no welding / drilling. Because the hull integrity is not compromised anyhow, they can be incorporated as a cost savings retrofit into any ship’s scheduled maintenance window. Annual fuel savings in the case of 30,000DWT - 60,000DWT bulkers is between 130k - 180k USD per vessel on conservative 3% fuel savings estimate. This goes up to $800k for a 360m vessel.
