Brunvoll has signed a contract with Tersan Shipyard for the delivery of propulsion and manoeuvring systems for two stainless steel chemical product tankers. Tune Chemical Tankers (TCT), which also is a part of Tersan Group, will be the owner of the vessels. The contract includes an option for two additional vessels.
Brunvoll’s delivery for the vessels consists of a complete shaft line solution with a reduction gearbox and a controllable pitch propeller, a tunnel thruster, and Brunvoll’s Propulsion and Thruster Control system, BruCon PTC.
The reduction gearbox features both Power-Take-In (PTI), and Power-Take-Out (PTO). This solution provides a versatile platform to optimize for the lowest possible fuel consumption, and at the same time provide good performance during manoeuvring operations. The gearbox has a front-mounted clutch for enabling fully electric propulsion and provides a take-me-home functionality. The gearbox also has a clutch for the propulsion line, enabling the main engine and PTO can be utilized as a generator set when the vessels are in port.
Tune Chemical Tankers (TCT) is a global tanker operator with its headquarters in Rotterdam, Netherlands. TCT is a part of Tersan Group, which Tersan Shipyard also is a part of. TCT operates a young fleet consisting of 18 chemical tankers.
