Electricity for the marine sector
In relation to the IMO's (International Maritime Organization) 2050 goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, shore connections are an important theme in the maritime sector. Shore connections can without a doubt actively contribute to both the environment and the vessel's operating costs when the vessels are at berth. Shore connections are an important piece in relation to achieving the goal of the green sustainable conversion and CS electric has in recent years worked with several shipping companies in relation to specific shore connections.
Automation
Although the global fleet today, in general, is a modern fleet, there are still systems and processes on board that can be automated. All for the benefit of the individual shipping companies and their customers. At CS electric, we constantly follow the development of automation technologies, such as PLCs, sensors, motion controllers, frequency converters, soft starters and more. Automation technologies are essential in terms of ensuring the efficient and competitive operation of the fleet.
Data
Collection and analysis of data from components and systems on a vessel can actively contribute to increased insight into and optimization of the vessel's performance. Over the past 15 years, CS electric has developed a system for energy optimization under the name ECOPAC®. The system monitors, collects and analyzes data from selected components and systems on the vessel, in order to optimize energy consumption. The system functions both as a documentation tool in relation to the current energy consumption, as well as a decision-making tool in relation to future optimization and investments.
