The Contract Won by Siemens Encompasses a New Battery Technology That Will Be Applied in the AKOFS Seafarer Well Intervention Unit, Making It Pioneering in This Type of Application

Siemens announced on Tuesday that it will deliver the Siemens BlueVault Energy Storage Solution, including batteries from its new production unit in Trondheim. The modification will increase the operational capacity of the DP vessel, improving the safe operation of the vessel while reducing fuel consumption in various operational modes, said Siemens.

“This contract demonstrates the benefits of implementing batteries in the power supply system for both new ships and retrofitted offshore vessels. In operation, these vessels have highly variable energy consumption in DP mode and during operations.

The batteries and advanced power electronics lead to a significant reduction in fuel consumption, climate emissions, and maintenance costs for these vessels, says Ketil Aagesen, head of sales for Siemens Marine in Norway.

AKOFS Seafarer is owned and operated by AKOFS Offshore and is used for subsea cleaning and testing as well as riser-based interventions up to 2,500 meters deep.

Starting in 2020, the vessel will operate under a five-year contract with Equinor for light well intervention services on the Norwegian continental shelf.

Siemens Targets the Brazilian Oil and Gas Sector

Following the renewal of Repetro, the multinational Siemens saw an opportunity to increase the supply of solutions produced at its factory in Santa Barbara d’Oeste in São Paulo.

According to the company’s Oil and Gas director in Brazil Claudio Makarovsky, the strategy is to extend the scope of products manufactured in its company. Learn more about Siemens’ business in Brazil and its projections for our market here.
