Skansi Offshore, a prominent Faroese shipping company, is increasing its commitment to sustainable marine operations. In relation to the 10-year classification of platform supply vessel Kongsborg, the shipping company installed a battery and hybrid solution on board, designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption.
SEAM delivered, and was the system integrator of, its effective hybrid solution, the e-SEAMatic® BLUE. The system, boasting an impressive 1800kVA/620kWh, was installed in a dedicated pre-built deckhouse, complete with necessary auxiliary systems – significantly reducing the installation time onboard the vessel.
The objective of this integration was twofold: a significant reduction in fuel emissions, as well as minimizing maintenance costs by operating with fewer engines.
Skansi Offshore's journey into hybrid operations isn't just about cost-saving. Operating on behalf of Equinor signifies a commitment to greener operations and fulfilling obligations to their client. The high quality of Norwegian shipyards and technology- and system providers, adds significant value to the equation.
The hybrid solution was interfaced with existing IAS/EPMS systems on board, in partnership with existing suppliers.
