The International Maritime Organization has adopted a strategy to reduce the carbon intensity by 40% by 2030. Considering the long lifetime of a vessel, fulfilling this requires radical changes to vessels being delivered in the near future. From 2023, the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) requirements will take effect for all cargo, RoPax and cruise vessels above 5,000 GT and trading internationally. With this in mind, Global Electrical Solutions is your partner providing support and assisting to achieve compliance with the new Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) Legislation, by investigating available / suitable decarbonization / Efficiency technologies and operation changes for your vessels, ultimately providing the best solution in terms reduction of EEXI & CII and return on investment (ROI). Ae solution is adapted for managing highly variable load peaks, without polluting emissions. Peak shaving allows energy production to be scaled according to the ship's nominal operating needs. For example, extra power is needed when entering and leaving ports and when berthing and unberthing. The correct configuration of batteries makes peak shaving possible, whereby peak demand is provided by the batteries rather than the existing engines or generators. With peak shaving you avoid peaks in energy consumption that are inefficient, unnecessary and costly. Fluctuating energy demand is strenuous for energy assets like generators and grid connections. Our batteries clip these peaks, resulting in significant savings. Furthermore, a more efficient and consistent use of engines means they last longer.
