Purus Marine’s Swansea, U.K., based offshore wind solution subsidiary HST Marine is tracking the efficiency of its crossbreed staff transfer vessels (CTVs) with the assistance of the BareFLEET fleet monitoring solution from Bristol, U.K., based Reygar Marine Systems.
“We recognize the value of gathering and sharing accurate performance data from our vessels. It supports the company in winning new contracts and enables us to build lasting customer relationships,” claims HST Marine COOChristopher Monan “We have seen reductions in main engine operation of around 50% on our hybrid vessels, which has the holistic benefits of lowering fuel consumption, emissions and noise when in harbor, as well as lengthening service intervals. Being able to demonstrate these efficiency gains with clear and concise performance data is of utmost importance to nurture trust with both new and existing charterer clients, while also providing them with essential evidence for their own environmental reporting.”
HST Marine presently has 4 crossbreed CTVs in procedure with 3 even more quickly to get in solution, every one of which have actually BareFLEET set up.
The fleet consists of both manageable and also set pitch prop vessel. As crossbreeds, they attract power from either the battery-hybrid drive or the major engine, enabling them to run near quietly and also with no exhausts in electrical just setting.
The BareFLEET modern technology bundle that tracks the HST Marine crossbreed CTV efficiency consists of brand-new attributes that give a failure of electrical versus diesel power usage while performing various jobs. BareFLEET likewise keeps an eye on the electric power usage of the crossbreed drive, with details use and also efficiency stats currently consisted of together with traditional diesel motor efficiency information. These attributes allow HST Marine to assess the ecological efficiency of crossbreed CTVs versus traditional vessels and also to make modifications for additional enhancement.
“The team here is delighted to be supporting HST Marine on its mission to decarbonize offshore marine transportation,” claimed Reygar handling supervisor Chris Huxley-Reynard “The transition to hybrid CTVs is an important step towards zero emission targets for the industry as a whole and we have recently delivered a number of BareFLEET systems for new hybrid vessels. It is hugely satisfying to see the technology performing well for HST Marine, providing their teams with the data they need both onboard and onshore.”
Reygar has actually functioned carefully with HST Marine considering that its very first vessels went functional some 5 years earlier and also HST has actually utilized BareFLEET on all brand-new fleet enhancements considering that. HST Marine remains to increase its crossbreed fleet with 7 brand-new Damen FCS 2710 and also 3 Damen FCS 3210 vessels on order, every one of which will certainly be fitted with BareFLEET as requirement.
