As part of this innovative project launched in collaboration with Hon Denizcilik and ALLPRO Enerji by PO/Marine, the maritime brand of Petrol Ofisi Group, the barge uses a battery to store the excess energy obtained from the generator while underway. When the ship is in waiting position, the stored energy can be used for at least 5 hours without the need for a generator. This allows the barge to optimize energy consumption, shorten the operating time of the generators, and improve energy efficiency.
Aydın Yıldız, Head of Marine Sales at Petrol Ofisi Group, commented on the project: “We are thrilled to realize this exemplary project. Our goal here is to provide tangible benefits for sustainable development by improving energy efficiency and promoting responsible fuel consumption in the maritime industry. We are excited to collaborate with our stakeholders in carrying out holistic and innovative processes with a focus on energy transformation, while undertaking growth-oriented projects.”
