Cemre Shipyard selects Norwegian Electric Systems (NES) to equip Scandlines' zero emission ferry.

Cemre Shipyard has awarded Norwegian Electric Systems AS (NES) a substantial contract to supply the battery and control systems, plus act as system integrator for a zero-emission ferry that the Turkish shipyard is building for Scandlines.
NES will act as the system integrator for the ferry's power systems and smart control set-up. This means that NES will be in charge of the complete energy design, electric power and distribution including energy storage system (battery).

– We will manage the complete energy design. The energy storage system is currently the world's largest for a ferry, says Jan Klokk, vice president sales at NES.

Under the contract, NES will supply the ESS (energy storage system) pack, DC switchboard, generators and AC switchboards that allow two sailing modes: fully electric and hybrid electric mode (battery and biodiesel for auxiliary engines).

NES will also deliver its Raven integrated navigation system to the vessel, bridge consoles, integrated alarm system (IAS) and a data collection system used to monitor vessel equipment performance. The data can be used in predictive maintenanceprogrammes.

– This is the largest contract NES has ever been awarded. It will be a high-tech ferry that on completion will sail the world's longest zero emission ferry crossing. We look forward to applying our competence and technologies to help Scandlines towards their zero emission ambitions, says Geir Larsen, managing director of NES.
