Skarv Shipping Solutions, a joint venture between Peak Group and Grieg Edge, has increased its order for ‘zero carbon project carriers’ from Shandong Huanghai Shipbuilding to five ships, extending its commitment to a Berg Propulsion package that optimizes vessel efficiency regardless of power source.
Skarv specified inline ammonia-ready engines for the initial four 7,000 dwt ships, with the first ship due delivery in the fourth quarter of 2025, followed by three more through 2026. The fifth vessel – due delivery in the second half of 2027 - will feature DF ammonia/MGO capability.
In all cases, vessel performance will count on integrated control and propulsion technology from Berg which is designed to work with a full range of alternative marine fuels and other green energy sources.
Berg collaborated closely with Skarv and ship designer LMG Marin to devise a tailor-made, adaptable propulsion solution for the 108-meter-long vessels.
Each ship will feature a single screw controllable pitch installation from Berg with a large propeller diameter and high system torque capability, optimized to match hull/power/speed - and in this case ice class - as well as thrusters.
Berg’s control, power distribution and energy management system integrates main engine, battery and shore power sources
