Norway’s Fjord 1 as well as Br ødrene Aa have actually chosen Brunvoll Group subsidiary Brunvoll Mar-El as the system integrator as well as electrical propulsion systems vendor for 3 rapid ferryboats that Fjord 1 will certainly operate city courses in Bergen under a 15-year agreement from Vestland County Council that ranges from 2025-2040. One of these will certainly be a brand-new Aero layout low-emission vessel gotten from Br ødrene Aa for the lengthiest course. The others will certainly be 2 traditionally powered vessels, bought from Torghatten Midt AS’s Kystekpressen procedure, that will certainly be transformed to zero-emission procedure.
The Brunvoll Mar-El distribution for the 3 vessels includes DC switchboard, electric electric motors, inverters, as well as billing remedies. All the elements will certainly be incorporated with each other right into Brunvoll Mar-El’s propulsion as well as power administration system. The vessels will certainly be geared up with the Brunvoll light-weight system assimilation remedy, a very small as well as versatile assimilation system enhanced for vessels with stringent demands for weight, quantity, as well as efficiency.
The 3 ferryboats will certainly run out of Bergen on the Knarvik– Bergen as well as Kleppest ø– Bergen courses as well as Fjord 1 will certainly create billing terminals of approximately 4,000 kW at both Knarvik as well as Ask øy prior to the agreement begins.
The Aero- layout newbuild from Br ødrene Aa will certainly be equipped with a reduced discharge propulsion system. It will certainly have an electric power outcome of 3,000 kW as well as will certainly operate the lengthy course in between Knarvik as well asBergen The 2 vessels obtained fromKystekspressen vessels will certainly be topics of comprehensive retrofitting from standard propulsion system to a brand-new zero-emission propulsion system, with a power outcome of 2,200 kW for procedure of the Bergen-Ask øy course.
“This is a substantial contract for us and a great achievement for everyone at Brunvoll Mar-El,” claims Helge Asle Lundeberg, handling supervisor at Brunvoll Mar-El AS. “The contract contributes to increasing Brunvoll Mar-El’s ability to provide lightweight electric and hybrid solutions to even larger vessels with more installed power, more battery capacity, and longer range.”
“Brødrene Aa and Brunvoll Mar-El have successfully cooperated on several projects over many years,” claims chief executive officer of Br ødrene Aa, Tor ØyvinAa “High-speed passenger vessels have very strict requirements. Both we and Mar-El have put a lot of effort into optimizing our designs over the years. Especially weight and volume are crucial, as well as overall performance, and Brunvoll Mar-El delivers on them all. Having dedicated Norwegian partners for this vessel type is very valuable for us.”
