Trim

Oversea Trim optimization provides clarity on questions such as:

• What is the optimal trim for this vessel at a given speed and displacement?
• What is the fuel saving potential from improved trim?
  
• Are there patterns in overconsumption related to routes, ports, cargo, or crews?
  

With Oversea’s Trim optimization, you gain continuous support to optimize fuel consumption through efficient trim management across your fleet. The service monitors and analyses the impact of suboptimal trim, identifying excess fuel consumption at actual speed and displacement.

By combining operational data, model data and advanced analysis, Oversea helps you detect underperformance, quantify savings potential, and establish best practices across vessels and crews. The focus is on turning everyday operations into measurable fuel savings—ensuring that each vessel operates at optimal trim conditions.

The analysis considers several factors, including trim optimisation model tests, displacements, drafts (forward/aft), speeds, weather conditions, and water depths. The number of test points for displacement, trim angles, and speeds varies between vessel classes in the trim optimization model studies. To improve accuracy, historical data is also used in the calculations.

As a customer you benefit from:

• Insights into trim performance and fuel impact
• Daily support to identify deviations and act in real time
• Periodic reports with savings potential and performance trends
• Follow-up to build best practice across the fleet
