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 have 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.

The year is coming to an end, and at GreenOil Standard we like to use this time to look back at the year past. It has been one of growth, development and great cooperation. Thank you for being part of it.

GreenOil has grown, familiar and new faces have become part of our team as we have expanded in all areas of our company. At our Ebeltoft office we have been busy developing new units and enhancing the current products, making oil filtration even better in the future.

2022 brought extra joy, as we are immensely proud to have been honored with a Gazelle Award by Børsen. Showing our team’s agility in challenging times and that our innovative offline oil filtration solutions are changing approaches to standard oil filtration worldwide.

We look back at a year where we once again had the pleasure of shaking hands with friends from near and far, and the opportunity to form new partnerships with local vendors. Our activities at home and aboard are increasing and we are excited about the year to come.

In the coming year we look forward to further develop our product range, heighten our marketing and sales activities and continue to provide excellent offline oil filtration to vessels all over the world.

Thank you for being a part of 2022.

Warm Wishes

From all of us at GreenOil Standard

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.”

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.
