The Damen E-Ferry 2306 is a personalized layout, particularly created for the Copenhagen mass transit fender
Damen Shipyards Group has actually supplied 5 23.3 meter x 5.6 meter, 50-passenger electrical ferryboats to Arriva Denmark inCopenhagen They are being operated part of Danish public transportation company Movia.
When the company provided the general public tender for waterborne mass transit in Copenhagen, its purpose was to update the solution, making it cleaner and also much more lasting. These ferryboats will certainly lower the city’s mass transit NOX discharges by 2.5%, CARBON DIOXIDE discharges by 10% and also particle discharges by 66%.
The vessels are based upon Damen’s E3 approach– eco-friendly, effective in procedure and also financially feasible.
Propulsion is through a specifically created zero-emissions driveline that is powered by a 120 kWh battery system making up 2 different battery strings put generally area. Charging of the system takes place with automated quickly billing at both end areas of the ferryboat course.
Main engines are 2 e-motors, each with a propulsive power of 55 kW @ 800 rpm and also each transforming a repaired pitch prop to provide a 7 knot solution rate.
Damen claims that the vessel’s lasting qualifications have actually been attained utilizing a collection of ingenious, electronic shipbuilding strategies. Computational liquid characteristics (CFD) were related to the hull layout, lessening resistance in the water, while sophisticated software program gauged the partnership in between engine torque and also prop rate. This led to the ideal use battery packs for minimized weight, power intake and also– inevitably– expenses of procedure.
The ferryboats are planned for remote tracking and also integrate a network of sensing units, making it possible for Damen’s remote tracking division to establish a control panel monitoring such points as cruising patterns, battery lifecycle and also swell characteristics. This enables fine-tuning of the procedure for better effectiveness and also minimized downtime for upkeep.
For this job Damen has actually worked as an integrator, or full remedy company. This has actually included, as an example checking out coast services for power supply– abreast with Movia’s demand that 60% of the power for the procedure originates from a lasting resource.
Martin Verstraaten, Damen sales supervisor, claims, “This, in my opinion, is where Damen really adds value to a project. Our involvement is not limited to the shipbuilding scope alone, we take responsibility for the entirety of the project. We provide a focal point where all partners involved the project come together to fulfil their individual roles in alignment with one another. With this, the project benefits from cohesive, centralised direction for maximum efficiency.”
Working carefully along with Echandia Marine, Heliox and also Staubli, Damen created a service that takes simply 7 mins to bill the ferryboats at the end of each journey they make. The billing remedy includes an ingenious auto-mooring system to make certain a protected link in between the vessel and also billing facilities.
