MARHY® hybrid drive
Innovative drive concepts are a necessity in order to meet safety requirements and the increasingly demanding environmental regulations for vessels transporting hazardous materials.
On new vessels with modern technology, the single-shaft drive train is being supplemented with a second drive system that is independent of the main engine. The power take home system (PTH) ensures the vessel's maneuverability in the event of a main engine malfunction.
The growing number of PTH systems being installed primarily on product/chemical tankers confirms the trend toward a growing awareness of safety and the environment.
MARHY® can be used on any type of ship with a fixed pitch or controllable pitch propeller (FPP or CPP) with a maximum drive power of 60 MW. The PTO / PTH / PTI output is adapted to the requirements of the respective project.
Features
- Redundant drive according to the ship classification societies in order to minimize the risk of environmental catastrophes
- Reduced exhaust emissions in electric drive mode
- The direct availability of the drive system and the improved maneuverability enable the ship to accelerate very quickly if necessary, for example when loading or unloading hazardous substances
- Reduction of the noise and vibration level in electric drive mode
- Reduced downtimes, because maintenance can be carried out during operation
- The operation of the main engine on the open seas only under optimal loading conditions prevents wear and fouling, thereby reducing maintenance requirements
- Fuel savings
- Lower insurance premiums, reduced fees for towing services, and reduced port charges
- Higher resale value and simpler chartering thanks to enhanced safety and operating capacities
- Rapid amortization of the investment
