For the first time, our partner LR-Shipdesign AG (Switzerland) [LRSD] applied their AFT OPT design to a 15,000 TEU container vessel model. Earlier, validation of AFT OPT – the unique patented ship hull design to improve the hydrodynamic flow of water underneath of the keel – had been validated for various ship types and sizes. […]
This year’s HIPER conference “Technologies for the Ship of the Future”, organised by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Volker Bertram/DNV, will be held in Germany at Kloster Drübeck from 9-13 June 2024; details see www.hiper-conf.info and HANSA Ed. 6/2024: “The practical dreamers meet again” Dr. Wasmansdorff, EVP at LR-Shipdesign AG (“LRSD”), presents the AFT OPT (aft ship optimisation) […]
The application of our unique innovation AFT OPT, utilizing newly applied physical and hydromechanical/-dynamical principles for the design of ships’ hulls, makes excellent progress. After various rounds of technology validation with industry partners, classification societes and flag states, LR-Shipdesign AG (“LRSD”) has signed joint development and shipbuilding contracts with various maritime stakeholders. Convincing argument: LRSD […]

Collection of AFT OPT patents and class & flag state certificates (extract only) What else do you need to catch up with your competitors? Main engine power savings lead to overproportional fuel savings in combination with savings for CO2-emission certificates. AFT OPT is a specific CFD driven hull line modification with positive impact on propeller, […]
“What we saw here today and during the last model tests is nothing less than the start of a new era in ship building. It is unbelievable that the application of aerodynamical principles leads to a complete new view onto the design of a ship’s hull geometry in order to substantially reduce the hull resistance […]
