Turkish company BMA Technology is forming a groundbreaking partnership with A2B-online and Sedef Shipyard for the construction of two cutting-edge container vessels, each with a capacity of 650 TEU.
This collaboration is considered to represent a significant step forward in the collective commitment to environmentally responsible maritime solutions. Underlining its commitment to sustainable shipping, BMA Technology has provided a comprehensive suite of electrical solutions to power A2B-online’s forward-thinking initiative. This includes components such as Electric Drives, Motors, Li-Ion batteries, Low Voltage Switchboards and Alarm Monitoring and Control System. These essential components are at the heart of A2B-online’s two electric container vessels, each driven by 3.2MW propulsion power.
Hakki Yigit Bayrak, Business Development Director BMA Technology, said: “Our collaboration with A2B-online and Sedef Shipyard is a testament to our commitment to sustainable maritime solutions. We are proud to be part of this vision, which showcases our dedication to reducing environmental impact through cutting-edge electrical technologies. The number of projects in which we have implemented these and similar solutions have now reached seven ships.”
With a firm focus on sustainability, these vessels have been designed to incorporate the latest technologies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions, being expected to achieve emission reductions of up to 95%, believed to set a new industry standard for eco-conscious shipping.
One of the key features of these vessels is their multi-fuel methanol-electric propulsion system. This innovative technology minimises emissions, ensuring cleaner and more environmentally friendly maritime operations. The vessels are equipped with 1.5MWh battery capacity, enabling them to operate emission-free during harbour and inland water operations.
