Glimpse Of The Future Of Offshore Service Vessel Design

Evolution of Vessel Design Mapped Out by the Leading OSV Class

Carbon neutral, fully digitalized, highly automated and configured to provide clear operational visibility and the ability to track vessels, cargo, equipment and people around the clock. That’s the vision of the next generation of Offshore Service Vessel (OSV) described in the ABS publication Insights into Future OSV Designs and Operations, which was launched at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC).

Other insights indicate the future OSV will be multi-functional – equipped to serve multiple...

NYK Begins To Bareboat Charter Crew Transfer Vessel In Offshore Wind Industry

NYK Begins to Bareboat Charter Crew Transfer Vessel in Offshore Wind Industry

NYK has begun to bareboat charter a crew transfer vessel (CTV)* to service offshore wind farms with Northern Offshore Services AS (NOS), a subsidiary of the Sweden-based Northern Offshore Group AB (NOG). The CTV, which is named Energizer, is owned by NYK and is being chartered to NOS through a long-term bareboat charter contract* to transfer crews to offshore wind power stations, mainly in Europe, under the operation of NOS.

NOG operates about 60 CTVs in the offshore wind power market in Europe,...

DNV And Altera Infrastructure Pilot New ABATE Notation To Reduce GHG Emissions On Offshore Installations

DNV Altera Infrastructure ABATE notation Petrojarl Knarr FPSO

Classification society DNV has introduced the new ABATE class notation, designed to assist the owners and operators of offshore floating installations to identify and implement measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Altera Infrastructure is the first FPSO owner to pilot the DNV notation on the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO, with successful results so far.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is setting clear and ambitious goals for the decarbonization of the shipping industry. As yet...

The Essential Tool for Transition To Zero Carbon Shipping

When battery-hybrid power initial arrived within the maritime trade within the early 2010s, it absolutely was beaked as a good thanks to create diesel ferries and workboats additional fuel-efficient. The worth proposition was simple, with fuel savings of 10-20 %, looking on the applying.

For the transition on the far side diesel, hybrid is a vital tool for electrification, cell power and also the transition to zero-carbon shipping. An article published in maritime executive explain about...
