Brunvoll Mar-El has been selected to deliver a parallel hybrid solution for a new 32m search and rescue (SAR) vessel to be constructed at GOT Marine in Mandal, Norway, scheduled for completion in 2026.
The newbuild will be the largest SAR vessel along the coast of Norway and will operate out of the Northern part of Norway where the weather and seas are among the roughest.
Birger Gauslå, VP Sales and Marketing, Brunvoll Mar-El, said: “GOT Marine has a long history of building rescue vessels, and we at Brunvoll Mar-El look forward to cooperating on this project.”
The hybrid system solution from Brunvoll Mar-El consists of an energy management system and DC switchboard from the Triton Hybrid product range, and includes electric motors, inverters, and batteries. The Triton CPP, Triton steering gear and Triton thruster control systems are supplied for propulsion and gear control, integrated with the Triton Hybrid system solution. The vessel will be equipped with the latest Brunvoll BruCon DP and joystick solution.
The contract is the latest in a series of upcoming deliveries of control and power systems by Brunvoll Mar-El. The vessel design, named NDS-32 MPV, has been developed in cooperation between GOT Marine and Naval Dynamics.
