Alewijnse to Design & Install Electric Propulsion Drive on OSVs

Alewijnse Marine Systems is to design and install a new electric propulsion drive using a DC bus system for the main electric installation in three vessels (pictured below) to be built at Shipkits B.V. While the design of the drive is highly innovative, the application of proven technology and components enables the accurate prediction of reliability and performance for these vessels. Designed by Vuyk Engineering Groningen, the three vessels will be 351 ft in length, have a beam of 52.5 ft, and are designed for an offshore service role including the installation and support of wind farms.
