First gas powered offshore vessel delivered
Island Offshore has received the first gas powered Rolls-Royce offshore vessel, the "Island Crusader". The new and advanced UT 776 CDG vessel is the first of two ordered by Island Offshore which will operate in the North Sea. The vessel will carry out transport, supply and service duties between onshore supply bases and offshore drilling sites. Its favourable hull lines contribute to a very low consumption rate over a wide range of operating draughts. We believe that the most significant contribution to reducing emissions is to reduce fuel consumption for a given amount of work done. Going for LNG fuel is a logical step in reducing emissions even further. The vessel is the first offshore vessel to include burn gas engines. As a result of this, Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions will be reduced by 90%. Sulphur Oxide (SOx) and CO2 emissions will also be reduced. The vessel is also equipped with two diesel engines for times when it needs to operate away from gas supply.
