德国航运公司Hapag-Lloyd正式启动船队升级计划。该计划将为其船舶换装由德国MMG公司制造的、采用节能优化设计的新型螺旋桨。首个新型螺旋桨已于近日在汉堡港装船发运，按计划将于下月被安装到船上。换装完成后，根据不同的航行条件，船舶的燃油消耗量和二氧化碳排放量可以降低10%~13%。Hapag-Lloyd计划为至少86艘船舶换装该螺旋桨，此外，该公司还会为36艘船舶改装新型水动力性能优化球鼻艏，并计划在入坞改装期间，对水线以下船体进行防污漆涂装。

With the loading of the first retrofit propeller in the Port of Hamburg, Hapag-Lloyd is launching its comprehensive Fleet Upgrade Program. The goal is to technically modernize the existing fleet. The propeller, which has been optimized for energy efficiency by the German manufacturer MMG, will be installed on a container ship in September. As a result, the ship saves between 10 and 13 per cent fuel and CO2 emissions, depending on the sailing condition. There are plans to equip at least 86 ships with the propellers. At the same time, 36 vessels will receive a new, flow-optimized bulbous bow. During the scheduled dry dock stays, a resistance-reducing coat of anti-fouling paint will also to be applied to all vessels on the part of the exterior hull beneath the waterline.
