At the core of the extensive upgrades, each vessel will be fitted with two SAVe Energy 1,120 kWh lithium-ion energy storage systems, controlled via Kongsberg Maritime’s SAVe CUBE integrated drive switchboard.
“This is one of the largest environmental vessel upgrade projects to be undertaken in Europe,” says Egil Haugsdal, president of Kongsberg Maritime.
Two new, energy-efficient Bergen B33:45V diesel engines will powerl each vessel, equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction to ensure optimal emissions control and compliance with IMO Tier III regulations, and fully compatible with Kongsberg’s digital management solutions, including health monitoring.
“Green shipping requires a holistic way of thinking,” says Geir Oscar Løseth, General Manager Sales, Advanced Offerings at KM.
