HAV Group ASA: Subsidiary to deliver battery package to live fish carrier

09 Jul 2024 08:00 CEST

9 July 2024 – Norway-based shipowner and operator AquaShip/Intership has
contracted HAV Group’s business area for energy design and smart control systems
to deliver a deck-based battery energy storage system to the Grip Explorer
wellboat.

Under the contract, HAV Group’s subsidiary will provide a containerized energy
storage system that consists of a “Quest” battery charger with 1,250 kW
capacity; a 994 kWh battery package capable of operating in peak shaving,
spinning reserve and harbour mode; control system; transformer; and upgrading of
the current black out safety system (BOSS). The company will also support with
commissioning of the deck-based system.

“We have delivered this type of containerized energy storage system to a number
of offshore vessels, but this is the first time we are installing it onboard a
live fish carrier. It reflects the aquaculture industry’s increased focus on
energy-efficient marine operations as an enabler to reduce both operating costs
and emissions,” says Siv Remøy-Vangen, managing director of HAV Group’s business
for energy design and smart control systems.

The company will deliver the equipment during 2024. It will manage the project
from its headquarter in Bergen, Norway.

AquaShip/Intership will install the equipment on board the vessel Grip Explorer,
which is currently being converted from an offshore supply vessel to a 3,500 m3
live fish carrier.

“We are confident that installing a battery package from NES will be a success.
It will result in reduced emissions, higher operational reliability and improved
on board working conditions for our crew. We have no doubt that we have teamed
up with the right partner for this project,” says Stian Førde, Technical
Manager-Electro and Nils Otterlei, Chief Operation Officer at AquaShip.

AquaShip / Intership is an aquaculture service conglomerate with headquarters in
Kristiansund and Hareid, offering a comprehensive set of maritime services to
the world’s leading salmon farming companies. With a fleet consisting of 40
different vessels, including wellboats for live fish, support vessels,
harvesting boats, feed boats, service boats, and three new boats under
construction, the company has a significant presence in Norway, Scotland, Chile,
Canada, and Ireland.

HAV Group’s contract party is Norwegian Electric Systems AS (NES), which has
operations in Bergen (HQ), Egersund and Ålesund in Norway, and Istanbul, Turkey.


The contract has been booked as order intake in the second quarter of 2024.
