Three newbuild green 5,000 dwt mass service providers being developed for Misje Eco Bulk, a system of the Norway based Misje Rederi team, are to have actually a completely incorporated Wärtsilä crossbreed option that will certainly allow them to cruise in as well as out of port, as well as to do freight procedures, entirely emissions-free.
The bulkers are being developed at the Colombo Dockyard in Sri Lanka.
The advancement of the crossbreed propulsion option was performed from an onset in a close teamwork in between Wärtsilä as well as Misje Eco Bulk that led to a customized option that totally fulfills the proprietor’s demands in regards to minimized operating expense, functional adaptability, as well as ecological sustainability. The vessels are developed to be transformed to complete absolutely no discharges procedure as the modern technology creates.
The Wärtsilä extent of supply consists of a Wärtsilä 20 primary engine, Wärtsilä NOx Reducer (NOR), the power transmission system, the controlled pitch prop (CPP), Wärtsilä ProTouch bridge control system, electric as well as automation systems, the crossbreed battery options, power monitoring system (EMS), transformers, electric motors as well as shaft line. The EMS features as the “brain” in the Wärtsilä crossbreed option maximizing the power moves in between the various source of power, storage space as well as customers to accomplish the greatest effectiveness feasible.
The order with Wärtsilä was checked in October 2020 as well as consists of an alternative for an added 3 vessels.
Delivery of the tools will certainly begin in fall 2021, as well as the initial of the 3 ships is arranged to get in solution in mid-2022. The succeeding vessels will certainly be provided at 4 month periods.
“This newbuild project is in line with our ambition to have one of the world’s cleanest and most sustainable fleets,” states Roald Misje, Technical Manager,Misje Rederi “Our collaboration with Wärtsilä, and their deep understanding and know-how of hybrid technology, make this ambition achievable, and we see great benefit in this very strong integrated solution to us as the owner from a lifecycle perspective.”
“We are extremely honored to have worked closely with Misje Eco Bulk to develop this fully integrated hybrid propulsion solution, which represents a new overall benchmark for bulk carriers in terms of operational flexibility, high efficiency, and low emission levels,” states Grant Gassner, Director Integrated Systems as well as Solutions, WärtsiläMarine Power “We look forward to continuing our good collaboration with both Misje and Colombo Dockyard during the construction and commissioning of these ground-breaking vessels.”
