Cemre Shipyard launched the world’s first wind turbine support ship with e-methanol fuel system, the contract of which was signed with Danish Esvagt in 2022 .
Orhan Gülcek, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Cemre Shipyard said, “who attended the ceremony and did not forget to take many photos with those who contributed to the project, said, “Good luck.” We are proud to have successfully launched NB1094, the world’s first wind turbine support ship with an e-methanol fuel system. “I would like to thank everyone who contributed and contributed”
4,500 tons reduction in CO2 emissions
The new service operation ship will receive its power from its on-board batteries and pure methanol machines with dual fuel technology. The ship is capable of cruising on renewable e-methanol produced from wind energy and biogenic carbon. It was reported that this would lead to a reduction in CO2 emissions of approximately 4,500 tons annually.
The design of the ship was developed by the Norwegian design company HAV Design in collaboration with Esvagt, and the ship is the third turnkey project that Cemre will build for Esvagt. The project will change the course of offshore wind service and support the market towards carbon neutral and environmentally friendly solutions.
He uses the wind
While these systems provide the necessary power for the ship’s propulsion, positioning and main operations, they will act carbon neutral and make it possible to create a new “green ship” trend in operations. This innovative 93-meter-long ship will be built according to DNV classification rules and will sail under the Danish flag. The SOV will serve the world’s largest offshore wind farm, Hornsea 2, located off the coast of Yorkshire in the UK’s North Sea.
124 crew members survive
The state-of-the-art ESVAGT SOV will be equipped with high standards of comfort for the crew and technicians of a total of 124 people on board, and will also provide space for entertainment activities such as a fitness center, game room, cinema hall and individual accommodation. It was aimed to increase operability and efficiency on the ship, and thus, a platform with a motion damping system that would allow technicians to safely pass to the wind turbines, transfer boats and a crane to lift heavy spare parts were installed on the ship. Additionally, the SOV will be equipped with a helipad that will enable shore transfer and quick and easy access.
