Belgian tanker owner Euronav is implementing a fleet-wide rollout of compatriot vessel performance start-up Toqua’s voyage optimisation system that they say can more than double fuel savings in comparison to traditional ship-performance models.

The fleet-wide deal has followed extensive tests of Toqua’s Ship Kernels system on one of Euronav’s VLCC tankers over 16 voyages, spanning four trades in both directions and different seasons.
