ESVAGT and HAV Design have selected Brunvoll as the supplier of a propulsion and manoeuvring system for another Service Operations Vessel (SOV), reads an official release.
World’s first green fuel SOV
The delivery will be a repeat of the contracted vessel from last year, known as “The world’s first green fuel SOV”. Both vessels are built by Cemre Shipyard and will enter into a 10-year charter for Ørsted at their U.K East Coast Hub.
VP Sales, Bernt Rune Riksfjord, said this when the first vessel was announced last year; ”This is a breakthrough for Brunvoll in the azimuth thruster propulsion market. ESVAGT and HAV Design are both important players in the renewable segment. We have a long relationship with both, and we are excited that they now also will use our propulsion thrusters. Brunvoll has a strategic commitment to be a preferred vendor for renewable energy vessels with dynamic position capabilities. This contract shows our importance as such a supplier and that the extensive effort placed into developing thrusters for this market has been successful.“
The delivery from Brunvoll consists of a complete propulsion and manoeuvringsystem, including azimuth propulsion thrusters, retractable azimuth thrusters,and a tunnel thruster. Everything will be controlled with Brunvoll’s propulsion and thruster control system (BruCon PTC), featuring Brunvoll’s own condition monitoringsystem (BruCon CMS).
