Rising fuel price trends, concern over climate change and
the need to meet regulatory requirements all focus renewed
priorities on the conservation of energy. As a long-time applications
leader in energy conservation programs, Seaworthy’s
engineers are proficient in efficiency enhancement analysis
and system improvements aboard U.S. Navy ships fitted with
gas turbine, diesel engine and steam turbine propulsion systems.
We have been directly involved with the Naval Sea Systems
Command’s (NAVSEA) Energy Conservation (ENCON) program,
performing Shipboard Energy Conservation Assistance Team (SECAT)
visits on- board U.S. Navy ships, as well as developing Ship
Energy Conservation Assistance Program (SECAP) and Optimum
Ship Transit Program (OSTP) software. Other efforts have involved
thermal barrier coatings and water/fuel emulsion systems,
both of which reduce fuel consumption while lowering emissions,
and the development of a Sludge
