        荷兰造船企业达门造船集团已与本国电力推进系统制造商AAAPropulsion达成协议，将在其电动拖船上应用后者的推进解决方案。据悉，双方将合作研究如何将AAAPropulsion研发的A-Pod系统集成于达门电动拖船，以全面提升推进效率。

 

        根据AAAPropulsion介绍，A-Pod是一款360度全回转推进系统，其电动机集成于下部吊舱壳体内部，采用外部水冷技术。达门集团表示，该系统能最大程度减少阻力从而提高能效，且因其较低的重心设计可增强船舶稳定性。

 

        在完成A-Pod系统于电动拖船和工作船的安装后，这家荷兰造船巨头表示后续目标是将该系统的应用扩展至其他船舶领域。作为向环保海事解决方案转型的重要举措，达门造船集团已专注于电动船舶领域，涵盖拖船、渡轮及其他船型。

 

        据了解，该公司的电气化努力属于其"E3"总体战略框架，即开发生态友好、高效且经济可行的海事解决方案。过去一年间，达门已完成建造、下水及交付多艘新船。例如2024年4月，该集团推出了被誉为欧洲"首艘"全电动拖船的RSD-E Tug 2513型——这艘命名为Volta 1的拖船为比利时安特卫普-布鲁日港建造。

 

        此外，达门正为加拿大BC Ferries建造四艘混合动力岛屿级渡轮。根据此前报道，这批船舶将在罗马尼亚船厂完成建造。该合同于去年1月中旬签署，首两艘船已于2024年11月初举行铺龙骨仪式。最新进展显示，该系列第二艘渡轮已于近日首次下水。值得注意的是，这是达门为加拿大渡轮运营商建造的第八艘岛屿级船舶，此前已成功交付六艘同类型船只。

The Netherlands-based shipbuilder Damen Shipyards Group has entered into an agreement with compatriot electric propulsion systems manufacturer AAAPropulsion to apply the latter company’s propulsion solution on the former’s electric tugs.

 

As disclosed, the two partners have teamed up to see how AAAPropulsion’s system called A-Pod can be integrated onto Damen’s electric tugboats with the overarching aim of improving efficiency.

 

Per AAAPropulsion, the A-Pod solution is a 360°azimuthing thruster system with an integrated electric motor that is meant for installation in the lower POD housing and cooled by the outer water.

 

The system, according to Damen, has the potential to minimize drag, which can improve efficiency, and to ‘enhance’ a vessel’s stability due to its lower center of gravity.

 

As informed, after the installation of the A-Pod into Damen’s electric tugs as well as workboats, the Dutch vessel construction major said that the ensuing goal would be to expand the application of this system to other market segments.

 

As a growing part of its transition to engineering and building environmentally friendly maritime solutions, Damen Shipyards Group has specialized in electric vessels, including tugs, ferries as well as units from other ship types.

 

It is understood that the company’s efforts in electrification fall under the scope of its ‘E3’ umbrella vision, i.e., producing eco-friendly, efficient, and economically viable maritime solutions.

 

Over the past year, Damen has completed, launched and/or delivered several newbuildings. For instance, in April 2024, the shipbuilding player splashed the fully electric RSD-E Tug 2513, hailed as Europe’s ‘first’ all-electric tugboat. The unit—named the Volta 1—was constructed for the Belgian Port of Antwerp-Bruges.

 

What is more, Damen is also working on a quartet of hybrid electric Island Class vessels for Canada’s BC Ferries. As reported at the time, the builder would complete the units at a yard in Romania. The Dutch player had won the contract in mid-January last year. The keel laying ceremony for the first two ships of the series was held at the very beginning of November 2024.

 

Most recently, the second unit of the series hit the water for the first time. In total, as noted, the newbuild is the eighth Island Class vessel that Damen has constructed for the Canadian ferry operator, having previously completed a sextet of these ships.
