SHORE POWER AND NEW ENERGY SOURCES: WILL FURTHER REDUCE OSV'S FUEL CONSUMPTION AND EMISSIONS

摘要

As highlighted on a number of occasions by OSJ, hybrid battery-based energy storage systems (ESSs) are being installed on a growing number of offshore vessels. Installing an ESS can reduce fuel consumption and emissions when a vessel is at sea, but there are other ways that a ship's emissions can be reduced - not least when in port, an example being the offshore vessel KL Sandefjord, owned by K Line Offshore AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd ('K' Line), which has become the first offshore vessel with the DNV GL class notation Shore Power.
