Aasfjell

Royal Bodewes is joining the energy transition by delivering the world’s first newly built hybrid self-discharger: MV Aasfjell. Unique to this 9400 DWAT general cargo ship, built for Norwegian Shipping Company Aasen Shipping is, that it is hybrid: next to the MGO main engine, she has an electric motor and about 560 kWh battery capacity, allowing her to sail emission-free.

Benefits and features of the Bodewes Hybrid bulk carrier 9400 dwt:

• Battery package enabling reduced fuel consumption of about 400 tons per year.
• Battery package enabling peak shaving on main engine reducing emissions and fuel consumption.
• Battery package enabling propulsion and maneuvring in port without use of main engine.
• Electric excavator enabling nearly noise-free loading and discharging operations.
• Combination of electric excavator, battery and connection to shore grid enable operations completely free of emissions when in port.
• Variable revolution on main engine reducing consumption/emissions further during slow steaming. Active Eco-control of propeller and main engine enable the most optimised operation.
• Optimised hull design and main engine focusing on reduced emissions and fuel consumption.
