Unveiling JMS Sunshine: Advancing Harbour Tugs With LNG Hybrid Propulsion

230

The presentation at the International Tug & Salvage (ITS) Convention, Exhibition & Awards 2024 will showcase the innovative JMS Sunshine, a pioneering harbour tug developed by Jurong Marine Services (JMS) in Singapore. This groundbreaking vessel represents a significant advancement in maritime technology, featuring single-fuel, gas-powered propulsion with hybrid capabilities.

Design and Integration

Designed by naval architects at Norway’s LMG Marin and built by Seatrium subsidiaries, JMS Sunshine incorporates cutting-edge engineering to meet stringent requirements for reliability, ease of operation, dynamic performance, and emissions reduction. The integration of Rolls-Royce mtu 4000 series M55RN pure gas engines, Spear Power System’s Trident lithium-ion batteries, and Schottel’s hybrid drive system ensures optimal performance and environmental sustainability.

Performance and Viability

The technical paper will delve into the project’s background, detailing the design process and the seamless integration of advanced propulsion systems. Speakers will highlight collaborative efforts to optimize the propulsion train and assess JMS Sunshine’s performance in meeting environmental impact predictions. Moreover, the presentation will evaluate the broader adoption potential of LNG hybrid propulsion in harbour towage markets, paving the way for a greener and more efficient maritime industry.
