Project
Spotlight
Boka Northern Ocean
Boskalis
The DP2 construction support vessel Boka Northern Ocean underwent a hybrid upgrade with the installation of a battery energy storage system (BESS) to improve power management, including blackout prevention, peak shaving, and generator load optimisation.
A Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and proving trials were completed to verify the system’s performance during dynamic positioning (DP) operations and ensure the vessel’s Worst Case Failure Design Intent was maintained.
- Installation of BESS hybrid system
- DP FMEA assessment completed
- Evaluation of Port and Starboard power system connection
- Proving trials conducted and witnessed
- Compliance with BV Battery(power) class notation
- Classification Society approval achieved
- System successfully operational onboard the vessel
