-
3 RotorSails from Norsepower to harness wind energy for additional clean power.
-
Optimized Propellers from Kongsberg for improved fuel efficiency at 14 knots.
-
NOx Scrubber by Pureteq to lower air emissions.
-
Upgrades to Machinery and Control Systems from Wartsila for energy savings and improved bridge equipment.
-
Covered Weather Deck to increase cargo capacity.
-
1600 m² Solar Panels on the weather deck cover.
-
Battery and Frequency Converter Systems from NES for energy storage, shore power, and peak shaving.
-
New Power Management System from Smart Automation for optimal energy efficiency by integrating rotor sails and battery technology.
The vessels will be renamed Trans Hav and Trans Sol, reflecting Sea-Cargo’s heritage. After the rebuild, they will continue their operations between West Coast Norway and the Continent.
