The efficiency with which a ship propulsion transfer the energy to the propeller and the hull efficiency are crucial aspects for operational cost control as these impacts directly into fuel optimisation and emissions control.
A fast response to improve efficiencies, optimal propulsion plant maintenance, propeller polishing and plan vessel dockings can only be accurately decided upon Torque and Thrust measurements. Also in case of torsional or longitudinal shafting vibration investigations, TAS is the correct engineer tool.

TAS is an indispensable shaft power meter for shipyards during sea trials, for the shipwoner that needs to determine the vessel efficiency, and for the ones involved in torsional and longitudinal vibration investigations.
TAS can be used by shipowners on a fleet basis by lending to each vessel the instrument for propulsion plant and fuel efficiency monitoring.
