“Yara Birkeland” FULLY ELECTRIC AND AUTONOMOUS “Yara Birkeland” is the name of the world’s first fully electric, zero emission and autonomous container ship. The all electric operation also extends onto land: loading and unloading will be done automatically using electric cranes and The Nor-Shipping’s Next equipment. The ship will also be equipped with an automatic mooring system. Generation Ship Award nominee Powered by hydroelectric and a battery energy storage system, “Yara Birkeland” and the port infrastructure will produce no harmful greenhouse gasses for the entire operational lifecycle. Yara and technology company Kongsberg have teamed up to build this game-changing vessel. Replacing 40,000 truck journeys a year, Yara Birkeland will reduce NOx and CO2 emissions and improve road safety in a densely populated urban area in Norway. Under-construction by Norwegian shipbuilder Vard, “Yara Birkeland” will be one of SHIPS the first Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) to enter commercial operations. When delivered from the Yard early in 2020, Yara Birkeland will be a manned vessel. Autonomous functions will gradually be implemented, tested and validated, with the target of performing fully autonomous unmanned operations by 2022. BLUE F Throughout its history Nor-Shipping has been the setting chosen by companies from all over the world to present the latest developments and innovations in the maritime industry.

Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Recovery
20 Industrias Pesqueras - June 2019 Teekay E-Shuttle tankers THE GREEN AND HYBRID SOLUTION This series of hybrid Suezmax shuttle tankers are currently under construction, also by Samsung for Teekay. The new “E-Shuttle” tankers will operate on both LNG as the primary fuel, and a mixture of LNG and recovered volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as secondary fuel, with MGO as backup. VOCs are produced in a gaseous state from evaporation occurring in the oil cargo tanks. This mixture of VOC and LNG as fuel enables the new shuttle tankers to travel from the oil fields on their own waste gas rather than releasing it into the atmosphere. This will reduce both emissions and bunkering requirements considerably. In fact, by reusing those VOCs as a fuel, the annual emissions FOR A can be reduced by 42%. But the positive benefits don’t stop there. The new battery hybrid system also has a direct positive impact on the main machinery operation, resulting in fewer running hours and consequently lower maintenance time and costs. Further, safety is enhanced by the batteries UTURE assisting in DP mode thus allowing for immediate power when needed. Systems to create highly energy efficient and environmentally friendly fuel mix solutions; and Sovcomflot’s Gagarin Prospect as the world’s first Aframax tanker designed to use LNG as a primary fuel, are the candidates for this new prize that “has attracted an incredibly high standard of entrants, illustrating the ambition, innovation and drive for greener shipping that is redefining the industry at present,” according to Nor- Shipping.
