HAV Group announced that it has launched a commercial initiative to provide complete solutions for emission reduction in short sea transport, by combining technologies and competence from all its subsidiary companies.
In particular, by analyzing general operational patterns, analyzing specific vessels’ typical operations profile, and utilizing the combined, complementary competence of its subsidiaries, HAV Group can develop dedicated short sea cargo designs as well as fuel and energy conversion solutions that optimize total cost of operation while also reducing emissions.
HAV Group is an enabler of green transition at sea. We see that short sea transport could, and probably should, lead the way with regards to fast-tracking zero emission shipping.
..said Gunnar Larsen, CEO of HAV Group ASA.
Among many other things, HAV Group has carried out a study of AIS data from relevant ships in the short sea segment to gain deeper insight into typical sailing distances, speeds and time spent in port and sailing.
Today’s operation is strongly influenced by the flexibility that lies in being able to bring large amounts of energy on board in the form of energy-dense diesel. New fuels and energy solutions will probably be able to be utilized even better when one begins to evaluate optimal operating patterns and speeds for these.
..added Gunnar Larsen.
