Wartsila’s hybrid vessel first

摘要

Wartsila has “reached a new milestone in the battery technology development as the company completed the installation of a hybrid energy system on board the Viking Princess vessel”. “The Norwegian vessel is now the first ever offshore supply vessel in which batteries reduce the number of generators aboard the ship. The new energy storage solution will improve engine efficiency, generate fuel savings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Viking Princess completed sea trials and the system was handed over to customer Eidesvik Offshore on 9 October 2017,” said Wartsila.
