CBO, one of the Brazil\u2019s leading opertors of offshore suppport vessels, has hire Finnish technology group W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 for the conversion project. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The CBO Flamengo will be fitted with a battery pack for hybrid propulsion, importing the vessel\u2019s energy consumption and reducing its cargo footprint. The order with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 was placed in October 2020.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The vessel will be outfitted with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Hybrid Solution, complies with the DNV-GL\u2019s \u2018Battery Power\u2019 class notation, allowing the ship\u2019s engines to run more efficiently by operating safely with fewer engines at a higher load. The hybrid system will provide redundancy power and reduce intermittent load increases (peak shaving), thereby saving fuel and reducing exhaust emission levels. Furthermore, because the engines will operate for fewer running hours, maintenance requirements and costs will be reduced.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cCBO is always interested in new technologies and innovation is in our DNA. We seek less fossil fuel consumption and this, aligned with our ESG (environmental and social governance) initiatives, makes the decision to install batteries in our vessels a natural path. CBO will offer more efficient operation to our clients, and this will be the first step of more to come. W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 is a leader in innovation and has extensive know-how in hybrid battery systems for ships, so we are pleased to join forces with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 to implement new technologies into CBO\u2019s fleet,\u201d says Marcelo Martins, Technical and Commercial Director at CBO.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The scope of the conversion includes the power conversion, project services, the hybrid solution delivery, and commissioning. Delivery of the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 equipment is scheduled for April 2021. Installation and integration of the equipment will be handled by CBO.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud that a forward-looking company like CBO has selected W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 as its project partner in supplying this ground-breaking technology for Brazil\u2019s first hybrid vessel. Our strong track-record and depth of experience in developing advanced hybrid solutions were the key reasons for the award of this contract,\u201d says Ian Brouwer, Senior Sales Manager at W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Marine Power.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CBO\u2019s fleet currently comprises 32 vessels ranging in types that includes PSVs, RSVs, OSRVs and AHTSs. <\/p>\n
