Different types of energy saving methods within shipping are gaining more interest due to environmental awareness, financial incentives, and, most importantly, new regional and international rules, which limit the acceptable emission from the ships considerably. Some of these measures are based on hydrodynamic principals. Most widely applied are installation of energy saving devices (ESD). There are different types of energy saving devices in the market, and new ones or new versions of existing ones are introduced.
