Platform supply vessel Edda Ferd (hull C-444) departed from the Gondan shipyard in Spain, bound for Gijon port to carry out sea trials.
The vessel is the eighth built by the shipyard for the Norwegian company Ostensjo Rederi and its delivery is scheduled for November 2013. The PSV is the result of the owner’s MIndSET (Marine Industry Superior Environmental Thinking) program launched at Nor-Shipping 2011, and is a nominee for Nor Shipping's Next Generation Ship Award.
When delivered, the vessel will be the world’s most environmentally friendly PSV, featuring a new propulsion concept including diesel generator sets with variable rpm developed together with Siemens’ BlueDrive Plus C concept. A hybrid solution with two battery packages further reduces fuel consumption and emissions.
Edda Ferd has the length of 92.6m, breadth of 20.6m, has deck area of 1000sq m, and can accommodate crew of 40.
The companies behind the Edda Ferd include Astilleros Gondan, Siemens Norway, Skipsteknisk AS, Carl J. Amundsen Consulting Marine Engineers and Naval Architects, and Ostensjo Rederi.
