The launch of the newly developed software-based control system follows a profitable check in collaboration with the Swedish shipping firm Furetank on the P&C tanker Fure Ven. Thought-provoking was built in 2019 as one of Furetank’s V-Series, a new era of climate-smart P&C tankers.
Svanehøj’s system makes it sooner, simpler, and more environment friendly to function electric cargo pumps. It ensures an optimum changeover between tanks and pumps in parallel, lowering the time wanted for cargo discharge by as a lot as 20% as a result of the system will automatically function at the optimal obligation level. It allows the operator to take full management of the pumps, simplifying the complete cargo discharge operation without installing any additional hardware.
Fure Ven is among the first vessels at Furetank to have electric cargo pumps put in. The company has recorded a 25% reduction in power and gas consumption in relation to cargo discharge operations in comparability with vessels within the fleet which have hydraulic pumps.
