Norwegian overseas solution vessel (OSV) proprietor and also driver Golden Energy Offshore reports that its lasting partnership on vessel efficiency surveillance with Kongsberg Maritime and also implementation of Kongsberg’s containerized SAVe Energy battery system previously this year is providing functional gas financial savings of 20%.
The outcomes have actually been attained on Golden Energy Offshore’s UT 776 CD style system supply vessels NS Orla and also NSFrayja Already running successfully with substantial Kongsberg innovation bundles aboard, Golden Energy Offshore and also Kongsberg Maritime have actually been checking and also evaluating information from the ships considering that 2015.
Monitoring is supplied by the Kongsberg Vessel Performance System (VPS)– with the brand-new vessel data-to-cloud framework Vessel Insight likewise released this year– making it possible for Golden Energy Offshore to get deep understandings and also change day-to-day vessel procedures to accomplish considerable gas decreases. The VPS is indispensable to Golden Energy Offshore’s dedication to UN Sustainability Goals
Kongsberg information researcher Joakim Kj ølleberg claimed: “With availability of historical data of all key components onboard from the previous four years from the VPS, we had all the information needed to further configure the systems to help the Golden Energy Offshore’s vessels to perform at their best.”
Kongsberg Maritime’s information analytics group likewise located a considerable capacity for more financial savings by presenting battery power and also according to its technique of taking data base actions in the direction of greener procedures,
Golden Energy Offshore picked the Kongsberg SAVe Energy battery system, which was set up on both ships in 2019. The functional information currently accumulated educated crucial installment variables consisting of the dimension of the batteries to be released for ideal procedures. Both vessels have actually currently been cruising with batteries for greater than 6 months, returning considerable functional price decreases.
“By utilizing a redundant battery solution connected to the main switchboard in Dynamic Positioning operations, we are able to reduce total engine running hours by 43%. The increased load and improved efficiency are very beneficial, helping the vessels to achieve operational fuel savings of 20 percent. This combined with shore connection at port means that the vessels are on their way to achieving annual fuel savings of approximately 360 cu.m, equivalent to around 1,000 tonnes of CO2 and 3 tonnes of NOx,” claimed Kj ølleberg.
“We have been certified in ISO 50001 – Energy Management for five years. In addition, we are also certified in ISO 9001 – Quality Management, ISO 14001 – Environmental Management and OHSAS 18001 (ISO 45001),” claimed Per Ivar Fagervoll, Chief Executive Officer,Golden Energy Offshore “By this we dedicate to power administration and also specify objectives for minimizing gas oil intake. How well we handle to reach our objectives is completely investigated and also shown. We have a high concentrate on just how our ecological impact can be decreased, and also just how our procedures can be enhanced to add to the United Nations sustainability objectives. Our lengthy collaboration and also organizing a number of pilot tasks with Kongsberg Maritime has actually had a favorable impact. By mounting the battery system, shore-power link and also surveillance efficiency, our power intake and also ecological influence are substantially decreased.
“We appreciate the good cooperation with Kongsberg Maritime, it enables us to reach our goals and at the same time we have a front row seat in developing Green Operations.”
Kongsberg Maritime’s SAVe Energy principle is an Energy Storage Unit that consists of a very effective and also fluid cooled down battery system in a modular style. The system is scalable according to power and also power needs, adhere to global regulations for reduced and also no discharge propulsion systems, and also can be made use of for peak shaving, rotating book and also for complete battery power for overseas vessels, cruise liner, ferryboats, pulls and also workboats.
The Kongsberg Vessel Performance System allows educated choice making by both staff and also onshore groups, with the prospective to help clients in reducing power use, gas intake and also operating expense. It offers information on gas intake and also general power performance degrees, benchmarked versus historic efficiency, enabling the staff and also ship administration to manipulate possibilities to reduce gas use and also decrease discharges. Following the collaboration with Golden Energy and also various other clients, the Kongsberg Vessel Performance System has actually currently been even more established to likewise cover battery efficiency surveillance.
Hybrid or electrical propulsion system have an inbuilt adaptability that minimizes discharges and also maximizes gas intake and also are likewise are lighter and also occupy much less room, with reduced sound and also resonance degrees and also decreased upkeep prices.
