Another vessel under SIEM Ship Management has been equipped with a ducktail.
The installation of a ducktail significantly enhances the resistance characteristics of the vessel in the water, resulting in a significant reduction in the requirement for propulsion power while maintaining the same maneuvering characteristics of the vessel. General sources indicate that the ducktail can reduce the requirements for propulsion power by 4-10 percent and reduce power by about 4-7%.
The modernization work was carried out at the Zhoushan CIMC Changhong shipyard Co.,LTD, from which the SIEM COPERNICUS left on October 20, 2024.
