Safer & Greener - REM Commander's Transformation
The biggest project at the shipyard this summer. The impressive PSV ship from Rem Offshore AS has undergone a full makeover in July. The ship now runs on hybrid.
– We have many different disciplines in GMC. All of these have delivered across the project with good results. The project took place in July, and people have worked hard to deliver the best possible result, says Olav Tveit, project manager at GMC Yard AS.
The project team and the client have collaborated closely throughout the project. Good dialogue is crucial in demanding projects like this.
– I have been to GMC several times and have always experienced good cooperation. I would say that the cooperation in GMC seems even better this time, says Steinar Steinsøy, captain on board Rem Commander.
Safer & Greener
The improvements to the ship – both interior and exterior – make the ship overall both safer and have lower environmental emissions.
– We have installed a Vard battery container and are hauling over 7,000 meters of cable in addition to steel work, electrical work and installation of a cooling system, says Olav Tveit.
The ship can now run hybrid, with a battery container installed on deck to handle various loads. The new SCR exhaust cleaning system reduces emissions on all four main engines (MEs).
Safety on board has also been improved, with a new Davit and DACON system. These ensure safe and efficient launching and recovery of rescue vessels on board. Time is of the essence should accidents occur.
Pipe systems on tanks and cargo systems have been rebuilt and updated. Thrusters and propellers have received a solid overhaul.
Makeover
In a new livery and a new profile – from red to navy blue – Rem Commander sets sail in a new livery.
– We thank Rem Offshore AS for the trust. Consider it done, concludes the project manager.
For the captain on board, Steinar Steinsøy, and the crew, the course is set for the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
