Atlantic Towing Limited has achieved a milestone in its decarbonization journey with the successful retrofit of the Atlantic Shrike. Equipped with Vard Electro’s SeaQ Energy Storage System, the Platform Supply Vessel has recorded an 11% fuel savings across all operations and substantial CO2 savings.
As the maritime industry faces mounting pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance fuel efficiency, vessel owners are seeking solutions to modernize their fleets. In 2021, Atlantic Towing Limited, a subsidiary of J.D. Irving Limited, embarked on a mission to upgrade their diesel-electric Platform Supply Vessel (PSV), Atlantic Shrike, aiming to meet the environmental requirements without compromising operational reliability.
Atlantic Shrike is a diesel-electric PSV, built in 2017. It measures 85.6 meters in length with a beam of 22 meters, and has a dead weight capacity of 4,200 metric tons. The vessel operates primarily on the Grand Banks, off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.
