How do I get the Njord Score for my fleet?
The Njord Score is an integrated part of our services. You will get your Njord Score when you book a Technology screening, Solution Design or Installation partnership. You can also do a quick benchmarking check through our website, where your vessel is compared to sisters or similar vessels.
Why is return on investment set at 2.5 years for the Njord Score?
The 2.5-year ROI aligns with the typical halfway point between dry dock cycles, offering shipowners a strategic window to realise cost savings before their next scheduled maintenance. By focusing on this timeframe, the Njord Score ensures that energy-saving technologies provide measurable financial returns within a practical and actionable period, optimising both operational efficiency and long-term profitability.
What is the benchmark score and why is it relevant?
The Benchmark score is the average Njord score of the already, by Njord, screened vessels. The benchmark score is relevant to evaluate how the vessels potential compares with the industry.
What technologies does the Njord Score assessment include?
The Njord Score includes a wide range of proven energy-saving technologies, from advanced coatings to propulsion optimization devices. Technologies are selected based on their maturity, commercial viability, and a commitment to maintaining a sub-2.5-year ROI, ensuring the bespoke technology package is both effective and financially viable.
How do I improve my Njord Score?
Improving your Njord Score involves strategically implementing EETs from our recommended technology portfolio, specifically tailored to maximize your vessel's efficiency. We offer both consulting and installation services, assisting shipowners in integrating these technologies and achieving continuous performance gains.
Does installing novel technologies like ASL or WAPS guarantee a high Njord Score?
Installing advanced technologies such as ALS or WAPS doesn’t necessarily guarantee a high Njord Score. The score is based on the cumulative impact of multiple, cost-effective EETs, ensuring that potential savings are maximized across all technology options available to the vessel. As an example; if a vessel has WAPS installed, but LED lights have not been installed but would be a good fit, the full potential has yet to be reached and the Njord Score will be calculated accordingly.
How does the Njord Score align with current regulations like CII, EEXI, and EU ETS?
The Njord Score complements regulatory measures by focusing on commercially viable technologies that drive real-world efficiency improvements. While regulations set mandatory thresholds, the Njord Score provides a practical pathway for vessels to achieve and exceed these standards through targeted technology upgrades.
How does the Njord Score differ from other scoring systems?
Unlike other scoring systems that may focus on environmental impact in isolation, the Njord Score evaluates a vessel’s potential to enhance its efficiency through a specific set of commercially viable technologies. This approach prioritizes both environmental and commercial benefits, distinguishing it as a unique benchmarking tool that aligns technical potential with financial feasibility.
