Hempel and you. Partners in fuel efficiency
SHAPE is Hempel's unique fuel efficiency solution. Built on our world class expertise in hull efficiency coatings, SHAPE brings transparent ISO 19030 based performance monitoring and analysis to every operator - so you can make smart decisions and see the performance gains of paint investments.
Working not as consultants but as true partners, we guarantee to deliver documented fuel savings and a programme of continuous improvement for your fleet efficiency.
The standard in performance monitoring
ISO 19030 outlines important principles for the measurement of changes in hull and propeller performance and defines a set of performance indicators for hull and propeller maintenance, repair and retrofit activities.
At Hempel we are building on the principles defined by ISO 19030 to develop the industry's most sophisticated efficiency analysis solution.
The right solution for every operator
Whatever the age, size and operating patterns of your vessel, Hempel's SHAPE offer combines all the elements of efficiency optimisation: high quality data gathering, expert analysis, decisive advise and world class hull coating.
This is much more than performance monitoring. This is fuel efficiency intelligence.

Speed is related to power
Speed loss - the key to efficiency
Speed loss is a critical measure for understanding vessel performance and fuel efficiency, since power increase and speed loss are directly related. At a given power output, we can accurately measure the speed decrease of a fouled ship.
The 3:1 relationship between power increase and speed loss
We have shown that the magnitude of power increase needed to compensate for a given speed loss will be around three times greater than the speed loss for a given power. This is why speed loss is a key measure for vessel efficiency. See Hempel's white paper on the speed/power relationship for more information.
Turning data into decisions
Shaped by the guidelines of ISO 19030, we have created a rigorous, transparent SHAPE process based on maximising the quality of your performance data and delivering the expert analysis that optimises the ROI of your decisions.
