Kongsberg Maritime is pleased to announce that it has secured a contract to supply an integrated package of equipment for a new Offshore Support Vessel being built for ship owner - DOF.

The new 110 metre OSV, with a capacity to accommodate 164 people, is designed by MMC Ship Design and constructed at CRIST shipyard in Gdynia, Poland.

Offshore power evolution

The vessel will be equipped with a comprehensive range of Kongsberg Maritime systems

The vessel will operate offshore Newfoundland, known for its harsh environmental conditions. It will be equipped with a comprehensive range of Kongsberg Maritime systems, including the DC main switchboard, battery hybrid system, main power generator, thruster induction motor, and distribution transformer.

One of the biggest features is the DC electric system, which offers several compelling advantages over traditional AC systems, including enhanced energy efficiency, reduced space and weight requirements, improved power quality, and better dynamic response. 

These benefits make DC electrical systems increasingly favoured for modern offshore vessels, particularly those focused on energy efficiency, hybrid propulsion, and advanced operational capabilities.

Powering innovation

Kongsberg Maritime’s battery-hybrid propulsion system will comprise two 1MWh battery packs, this advanced system will be complemented by a DC electric system designed to ensure the highest operational efficiency. With these innovations, the new ship is set to achieve fuel savings of up to 35% compared to similar vessels, marking a significant step forward in sustainable maritime technology.

DOF has also selected a range of Kongsberg Maritime technology to support its offshore operations, for navigation, automation and control systems, as well as the company’s K-Pos Dynamic Positioning system.
