It has almost been a year since the largest RoPax ferry, the first of two, in the DFDS fleet was on her way to Europe from GSI (Guangzhou Shipyard), and with that marked a completion of a great partnership between DFDS and GreenOil Standard.

DFDS har an ambitious ESG strategy, that includes taking actions to care for their employees, the oceans, the industry, and local communities. When building new vessels, they aim to reduce the CO2 emissions, create secure workspace, and use suppliers with greener profiles. In order to complete these ambitious goals, DFDS amongst others looked to a new method of filtrating the oil onboard. Once tested a satisfied crew saw the benefits of the system’s size, effortless maintenance, a more sustainable filtration material and the positive effects of keeping the oil clean for the equipment onboard, thereby prolonging their lifespan.

Simontanusly at Jinling Shipyard in China DFDS had commisioned six RoRo vessels, each being 237,4 meters long, they are classified as mega vessels. Onboard each ship 8 GreenOil systems are installed filtrating various oil types.

Clean oil is key in order to prolong the oil and components lifetime. Without clean oil, wear and tear on the machinery becomes increasingly worse over time, resulting in break downs, broken machinery and eventually delays. Keeping the oil on board clean, is therefore a priority for DFDS as they know the value of reduced downtime that comes when using GreenOil.

DFDS are actively addressing their environmental footprint. They have acted on several initiatives to become more sustainable, and we are proud suppliers to be a small part of this grand initiative.

Klaverness Ship Management aims to cut their CO2 emission by 30-40%.

Our customer Klaverness Ship Management aims to cut their CO2 emission by 30-40% compared to standard dry bulk and tanker vessels. One of the upgrades performed by Klaveness is to install GreenOil filtration solutions instead of the traditional centrifugal separators for both Main engine system and Aux. engine lubrication oil.

• Significantly reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
• No lubrication oil loss/sludge production from lubrication oil systems.
• No expensive separator spare parts.
• Easy operation and maintenance.

A GreenOil return on investment is typically less than 12 months.

Thank you to Ditech for this great order!

For decades, Østensjø has been the epitome of efficiency at sea through innovation and experience, securing safety for personnel accessing Wind Turbine Generators. For them performance to rely on is an absolute must.

In 2021 the separators which once cleaned the lubricating oil and fuel onboard, was replaced with GreenOil systems, thus, continuing their innovative approach to the marine industry.

The experience using GreenOil offline oil filtration systems have exclusively been positive according to the crew. There was an assumption, that the filters had to be replaced often, but to their great delight they found that the opposite was the case as there was no need to replace the filter as often as they thought.

“We haven’t even changed a filtercannister on lubrication oil since the installation, so we still have 16 in stock. I see in the manual that a yearly replacement is recommended based on the expected lifetime, but the filters can easily be used longer, as long at the back-pressure is not too high “

Chief, Edda Ferd (translated)

They installed the systems without any challenges, and since then they have seen a reduction in the amount of sludge produced onboard and the cost often associated with service and maintenance have disappeared.

“Our saving is that we are not constantly carrying out service of the separators and that GreenOil does not produce any sludge.”

Cheif, Edda Ferd (translated)

Along with our local partner Ditech, Østensjø found the best solution for their vessels. Where they saw improvements, and once again proved that a retrofit of an off-line oil filtration system, gives great improvements for crew and company when comparing to existing separators.

Amount of Fueloil Passed Through

“I esitmate that 360m3 went through the filter, before the filtercannister was replaced, afterwards 220m3 has passed through the filter.”

Norwegian based Intership has selected GreenOil solutions for its new building at Zamkona Yards in Spain.

GreenOil Standard has received order to provide equipment for Norwegian based Intership for its 72m long and 2200 m3 wellboat being built at Zamkona Yards in Spain.

The vessel will be state of the art in terms of technology and environmental friendliness solutions, with low fuel consumption and low emissions of Co2 and NOX. Therefor GreenOil have been selected as supplier for engine lubrication oil and DO/MGO filtration systems.

Vessel is scheduled to be delivered from the yard in first quarter in 2022.

Picture 1. The design of the three new Bore Ltd. vessels.

Finland based Bore Ltd., part of the Spliethoff Group, has selected GreenOil solutions for its three new buildings at Wuhu Shipyard, China (W1911-W1913).

The vessels will be equipped with Wärtsilä 34DF engines and be the first LNG fueled short-sea Ro-Lo (roll-on, lift-off) vessels. GreenOil will equip each of the vessel with green and sustainable oil filtration systems, such as engine lubrication oil and Diesel/MGO filtration systems. Selecting of the GreenOil filtration systems by Bore Ltd. was caused by the main attractive green environmental advantage.

“GreenOil offer us a perfect added green environmental solution for our new buildings. The key benefit as green values, such as less energy consumption and less sludge production together with decrease maintenance were the main cause for choosing GreenOil filter.”

Mr. Jörgen Mansnerus, VP, Marine Management.  Bore Ltd.

The GreenOil package will reduce the green environmental footprint for each of the vessels, with much less energy consumption, less oil consumptions and no sludge production, all that direct generate pure cost savings in operational cost and maintenance.

Tested and validated through 2 years in cold and harsh conditions.

GreenOil and its valuable partner in Norway, Ditech AS, has been awarded contract of complete retrofit of entire fleet for engine lubrication oil by REM Offshore.

The vessel REM Arctic has for two years tested the GreenOil filter systems instead of its traditional centrifugal separators.
Vessel Manager Dagfinn Boe has been very happy with the performance of the filter systems for number of reasons and expect return of investment within 6-8 months.

Retrofit of the GreenOil filtration system gives great advantages for the vessel crew and shipowner, such as:

Equal or better oil performance in terms of combustions residue, varnish, oxidation and no risk of water contamination.
No preheating of the oil to 95 degree celcius needed.
Very low consumption
Easy maintenance and much less time consuming for the operator.
Saving and improving the vessels green environmental footprint.

REM Offshore has also chosen GreenOil for its ongoing 90 meter CSV new building at Green Yard Kleven.

ECOFIVE was named Ship of the Year 2023 at Nor-Shipping. It is the first time in history that a fishing vessel has won this award, but due to the groundbreaking techonolgy and new approaches onboard the fishing vessel, it is an eco-friendly fishing vessel aiding in making the industry a greener. It has been said that the project is one of the most interesting things to happen in the industry in the last 30 years, and we are proud to be amongst the companies suppling the innovative technology making this happen. Luckily the project can be easily transferred to other newbuild fishing vessels

Reduced Emissions

Onboard is a hybrid propulsion system, with a battery system that has the capacity of 1,130 kWh, additionally several measures have been taken for the vessel to be more energy effecient. Adding this up ECOFIVE reduces its fuel consumption and emissions at least 25%, and for some operations up to 40%, compared to other modern trawlers on the water. The single most energy effecient area onboard it the twin propulsion systen, which has rudder nozzles fitted, the energy consumption is reduced by 15% by this feature alone. The designers and shipyard has also focused on comprehensive heat recovery and electrical winches amongst others.

Technology

The technology is spectacular, the ship owner and desingers have merged the technology found in fish carriers and land-based facilities into a design perfectly fitted the onboard production. The challenge is, that the technology needs to take care of the catch from the moment the net is set and till the finished production. They have specifically focused on:

• Gentle trawling and boarding where the live catch will flow in below the waterline
• Live storage of the catch in waterfilled tanks at the reception system
• Processing of multiple products
• Even factory exploitation
• Frosen down to -35 degrees using CO2 as a refrigerant
• All residual raw material is recovered for use
• You can se more about ECOFIVE at the shipbuilder and designers websites.

Systems delivered by Greenoil

At Greenoil, we are proud to contribute to the groundbreaking ECOFIVE project by delivering innovative solutions that enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in the fishing industry.
