NSS had two main reasons for installing a hybrid system on their advanced subsea construction vessel North Sea Giant, which is over 150 metres long.
“Firstly, hybrid solutions are becoming more common, which is part of the demand for greener solutions from our customers. Secondly, we saw an opportunity to save fuel in dynamic positioning (DP) operation, since we could use battery mode and only one engine for electricity production. Also, the vessel would become greener and more competitive on the market,” says Mr Revne.
