Hybrid chemical tanker for Stenersen

摘要

Finland's WE Tech Solutions has secured an order to install its battery-based Energy Storage Solution (ESS) on two 17,500dwt chemical tankers being built for Bergen-based Norwegian shipowner Rederiet Stenersen AS. It will be the first time that an ESS has been deployed on vessels of this type. The tankers, which are being built at Chinese shipyard Taizhou Kouan Shipbuilding Co, will also be fitted with WE Tech's permanent magnet shaft generators. The hybrid technology, which will use Corvus Energy's Orca lithium ion batteries, provides an energy reserve at critical moments as well as back-up power in the event of a black-out.
