Marine hybridization with VACON® drives reduces emissions from the hybrid training ship, Skulebas

The new training vessel at Maløy Fishing School in Norway uses less diesel and emits less CO2 than its predecessor, while also meeting the rigorous demands of the fishing industry.
The hybrid vessel design reduces diesel consumption, while also ensuring it met the rigorous demands of the fishing industry. With fish to catch and store alongside accommodation of 20 people, the vessel runs round-the-clock, leaving no leeway for downtime.
While its predecessor vessel fished with lines and nets only, the aim for the new vessel was that it could also trawl and flyshoot. These fishing techniques demand more thrust from the propeller, and precision in monitoring, speed, and navigation - no matter the weather and operating conditions.
To address these requirements for both performance and sustainability, Danfoss Drives’ team collaborated with the maritime contractor Vest-El to develop a hybrid-driven vessel design for Hvide Sande Shipyard, capable of handling these demands.
With Danfoss power conversion on board, the new Skulebas vessel gains several benefits. The hybrid solution provides the flexibility to employ diesel power only when necessary, resulting in a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and the release of harmful minerals like sulfur. Plus, minimizing diesel emissions also improves air quality aboard the vessel and in port. The expected emission reduction is 213 tonnes CO2 per annum.
Finally, this technology elevates the precision and stability of steering and speed control, ultimately boosting operational efficiency. Coupled with reduced noise levels, these enhancements improve the working environment for students and crew members.
In an industry facing numerous challenges, introducing hybrid propulsion eliminates at least one of them. The benefits are not only in improved vessel performance, but also in emission reduction to reduce climate impact on our planet.
