3D SCANNING AND MODELING OF HULL AIR LUBRICATION IN QATAR
To improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, EIWAA Marine assists ship owners in installing hull air lubricating systems. A feasibility study, as-built drawings, 3D laser scanning, 3D modeling, and thorough engineering can all be used to adapt and install the Hull air lubricating system. Basic concept drawings are based on the theory that there are microscopic air bubbles or an air layer under the hull to reduce frictional assistance while the ship sails. We provide HALS installation help for marine air retrofitting in conformity with IMO rules. The Marine ALS system supports the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) by helping with CII compliance and IMO MARPOL Annex VI efficiency standards.
We are class-approved maritime surveyors for HALS shipbuilding and retrofitting solutions because we consistently improve inspection, survey, and pathway approvals. Flag and classification rules of ALS requirements update regulations governing necessary alarms and safety shutdown systems on a regular basis. The following is a list of the IMO’s classification criteria and specifications for ALS systems used in ships and other vessels.
- Air chambers, hull optimization, air flow paths, and hull strength assurance are among the structural modifications.
- Integrity and Inspection: NDT inspection, welding certifications, air supply pipe inspection, and injection valve surveys.
- Control system: ALS must be able to be controlled by additional safety procedures, remote monitoring, safety alerts, etc
- Power and Energy Optimization: The extra power used by ALS's blowers and compressors should not exceed 3% of the ship's total power.
- Plumbing, safety compliance, structural strength optimization, design and installation, ship classification, and flag approval.
- Operational Profile: Examples of operational profile compatibility include vessel speed, hull form, route (voyage, slow streaming), fouling control, etc.
3D SCANNING AND MODELING OF ALS SYSTEM IN QATAR
Precise ship design and hull air lubrication installation require precise measurements of the ship’s hull and engine room spaces. We provide 3D laser scanning and modeling services to acquire HD as-built data on vessels, including ducting, pump rooms, funnels, and distribution chambers. Accurate 3D scanning onboard enables ALS integration for ships and vessels, supporting reverse engineering and retrofitting without any downtime. Our 3D CAD models and point cloud data allow for 3D verification, layout optimization, and collision identification in compliance with IMO regulations and system recommendations. Our laser scanning technology complied with class approvals to achieve carbon intensity indicator (CII) compliance and innovative energy efficiency by reducing carbon emissions.
