According to the company, this makes it the second tri-fueled vessel in America. However, the Harvey Power will primarily operate using only LNG and battery power.
The company has three more platform supply vessels being retrofitted with batteries to make them tri-fueled. Conversion for the final three vessels is expected to be completed by March 31, 2022.
The Harvey Power is also being outfitted with a real-time emissions monitoring system. The system will provide data that shows reductions in emissions from use of LNG as single fuel source, as well as combined fuel sources using LNG and battery power and diesel and battery power. The company plans to install the monitoring system on all five of its tri-fueled vessels.
