The 7,000dwt newbuilds are the first LNG-fuelled short-sea vessels to be operated by Finnish owner, Bore, and will operate in the Baltic and North Sea with Finnish\/Swedish Ice Class 1A classification.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur solution will bring significant savings in terms of operation performance and fuel consumption,\u201d commented Martin Andtfolk, sales manager of WE Tech Solutions. \u201cWith reduced fuel consumption also the environmental footprint will be reduced. We are yet again proud to contribute to a greener future,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The order comprises a WE Drive and variable speed shaft generator, the former enabling the latter to be operated at variable speed for efficient propulsion. In PTO mode, the vessels\u2019 electrical power distribution will be supplied from the shaft generator alone via the WE Drive meaning the auxiliary generators can be stopped, saving fuel and reducing emissions. The bow thruster motor will be powered with a variable frequency drive reducing the ships\u2019 power consumption even further.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have worked successfully on several of our vessels in the fleet with WE Tech team, and we have experienced huge benefits, such as decreasing of operation and service costs as well as increasing of vessel\u2019s energy efficiency and competitiveness,\u201d said J\u00f6rgen Mansnerus, vice president of marine management at Bore.<\/p>\n
The first vessel is scheduled for delivery in mid-2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
