EcoNavis Solutions has secured its first commercial contract for the novel Eco Boss Cap, a proprietary energy-saving propeller hub cap introduced to the market last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fuel-saving, emissions-reducing hub will be retrofitted to a general cargo carrier operated by a Thailand-based ship manager. EcoNavis has received two POs from the company, which is evaluating further installations across five more vessels.<\/p>\n

Retrofit work to 177m long vessel\u2019s 5m diameter propeller is scheduled for mid-August at an undisclosed Chinese shipyard, close to Shanghai. EcoNavis engineers will supervise the installation and early operation of the device, with sea trials expected shortly after the retrofit.<\/p>\n

When commissioned, the installation will mark the first full-scale deployment of the Eco Boss Cap, a conically shaped propeller hub featuring a patented arrangement of internal chambers and holes designed to reduce fuel consumption, emissions, and propeller-induced hub vortex cavitation.<\/p>\n

Developed following extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and validation in one of Europe\u2019s leading cavitation tunnel test facilities and towing tank tests, the Eco Boss Cap has demonstrated efficiency gains of up to 5% across all speed ranges.<\/p>\n

Dr Batuhan Aktas, Founder & CEO of EcoNavis Solutions, and lead inventor of the technology, said the contract validates years of research, modelling and hydrodynamic testing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a significant milestone for EcoNavis as a serious technology partner to the global shipping industry. The ship operators\u2019 interest came directly in response to our earlier work, which speaks volumes about both the industry need and the credibility of the energy efficiency results we\u2019ve achieved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional boss cap designs, which use fin appendages to redirect flow and can introduce turbulence, the Eco Boss Cap utilises an internal chamber and a series of precisely angled holes to manage water flow through pressure differential. This configuration eliminates the cavitation responsible for rudder erosion, underwater noise, and thrust losses, and avoids the torque penalties associated with fin-type designs.<\/p>\n

With no blades, no fins, no rotating appendages, the Eco Boss Cap is easier to manufacture and install than most other energy-saving propeller hubs caps currently on the market. Cast as a single piece and free of complex geometries, it can be installed during a standard drydock in under six hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis cost-effective production means a lower upfront investment, with a payback time of less than a year for a 180m handy-size bulk carrier burning about 25t of fuel per day,\u201d said Aktas.<\/p>\n

The Scotland-headquartered company has secured over \u00a3550,000 in grants and private funding to bring the technology to market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not just a product launch. It\u2019s the start of a new phase in ship efficiency,\u201d said naval architect and EcoNavis Chief Operating Officer Amitavo Wye. \u201cEco Boss Cap is tailor-made for each vessel to deliver greater fuel savings over a wider operating envelope. Shipowners don’t want a generic solution; they want performance that works for their ships\u2019 actual operating conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

EcoNavis Solutions is currently pursuing partnerships in Europe, the US, and Asia as it brings its retrofittable efficiency solutions to market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just the beginning,\u201d said Wye. \u201cWith early traction in Southeast Asia and strong interest in Greece, Singapore and the U.S., we\u2019re building momentum around a product that directly addresses CII, EEXI and ESG compliance without complexity or disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n
