Nor-Shipping announced today that EDDA FERD is nominated for the 2013 Nor-Shipping Next Generation Ship Award. HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway will present the award when announced at the Opening Conference on June 4.
The Next Generation Ship Award recognizes the yard, designer or owner with the most promising design idea for a ship that will be at sea in the coming decade. DNV returns as Nor-Shipping’s partner for this award, lending its industry expertise.
Edda Ferd PSV is the result of the owner’s MIndSET (Marine Industry Superior Environmental Thinking) program launched at Nor-Shipping 2011. It features 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.
The companies behind the Edda Ferd include Astilleros Gondan, Siemens Norway, Skipsteknisk AS, Carl J. Amundsen Consulting Marine Engineers and Naval Architects, and Østensjø Rederi.
