The German propulsion specialist SCHOTTEL has actually been granted an agreement to provide tail props on a self-propelled barge-based vessel pile exhaust capture as well as therapy system. It will certainly be generated as well as run by united state firm Clean Air Engineering– Maritime,Inc (CAE-M), based in San Pedro, California.

The system is called the Marine Exhaust Treatment System or METS-3 as well as was created by Fassmer Techincal Projects as well as will certainly be developed at united state shipyard Greenbrier Companies, Inc,Portland Additional METS systems will certainly be generated as well as run in numerous various other California ports. The 26 metre long as well as 13 metre vast barge will certainly be run by CAE-M to catch as well as deal with pile exhaust of vessels in the Ports of Long Beach as well as Los Angeles, California.

Nicholas Tonsich, President at Clean Air Engineering– Maritime, Inc: “It is more important than ever to develop innovative technologies that help reduce emissions in ports to an absolute minimum. Clean Air Engineering – Maritime’s latest METS-3 will succeed in doing exactly that. We are excited to have SCHOTTEL as an experienced partner at our side and that they are part of this flagship project.”

Tim Klaybor, Managing Director at Fassmer United States: “A number of factors had to be taken into account in the design of this next-generation CAE-M METS-3, which is why we were looking for a reliable partner to cooperate with. SCHOTTEL and Fassmer are sharing a long-standing relationship. We have made positive experiences, with both reliable products and competent service.”

Scope of SCHOTTEL supply

The major propulsion system of the barge includes 2 electrically-driven SCHOTTEL RudderPropellers kind SRP 150 (400 kW each) including prop sizes of 1.2 metres. The SRPs will certainly operate on naturally degradable oils (EALs). The range of shipment consists of the total electric plan, which makes up electrical motors, regularity drives along with a mobile control terminal for the SCHOTTEL MasterStick.

One solitary control bar for as much as 6 propulsion systems

The SCHOTTEL MasterStick is a joystick system which can manage as much as 6 propulsion systems concurrently. The drive as well as the placement of the propulsion systems are managed as well as dispersed by a software application as though all translational as well as rotational motions needed for steering the barge are performed ideally. The ship’s motion can hence be managed with ease as well as easily in any kind of preferred instructions of activity or in a mix of those.
