Høglund Marine to Provide Supply Automation Systems to Bernhard Schulte LNG Bunker Vessel
Høglund Marine Automation AS (Høglund) has been awarded a contract to supply automation systems for a Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (Bernhard Schulte) liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunker vessel, LNG Industry reports.
The system to be provided by Høglund will include the power management system of the bunker vessel, as well as additional systems that manage interactions between the ship machinery systems, and the cargo plant.
"When creating automation solutions for an entirely new vessel sub-segment within LNG, it’s hard to predict and foresee what challenges might emerge, which means you can’t just use an off the shelf solution," said Børge Nogva, CEO of Høglund.
"By playing a consultative role throughout the design and build stages, and supporting vessels 24/7 once they begin operation, automation suppliers can deliver significant benefits in terms of reliability and efficiency, as these projects demonstrate."
Høglund provides remote access support for its automation systems, enabling engineers to resolve automation issues remotely.
The vessel is set to be built at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd.
In December, Ship & Bunker reported that Høglund had signed a partnership agreement with Plan B Energy Storage (PBES) for the development of hybrid and fully electric commercial marine vessels.
