The 45-metre ship built by Baltic Workboats is equipped with Editron hybrid electric drivetrain systems, allowing efficient and quiet electric cruising and a swift, powerful reaction to emergencies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe needs of the patrol boat made it an excellent project to build as a hybrid vessel,\u201d said Peeter Raamat, Head of Technical Department at Baltic Workboats.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, the hybrid electric benefit of engine redundancy is important for the Estonian Coast Guard \u2014 in case of engine failure, you can switch to diesel-electric or batteries \u2014 while you also have improved fuel efficiency and much lower noise levels in diesel-electric and fully-electric modes when compared to big diesel engines, which is a big benefit for the crew.\u201d<\/p>\n
Combating pollution<\/strong><\/p>\n The wave-piercing patrol ship will be used by the Estonian Police and Border Guard Service, mainly for use in combatting pollution threats.<\/p>\n It is the largest patrol vessel ever built by Estonia based Baltic Workboats and the first in the firm\u2019s emerging range of battery hybrid patrol ships.<\/p>\n The vessel contains an Editron marine system, which is half the size of a conventional diesel-electric propulsion and power plant system. Danfoss\u2019s Permanent Magnet Machines reduce fuel and running costs, significantly reducing both payback period and CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Estonia\u2019s border authorities have launched a hybrid patrol vessel that helps protect the environment from oil spills and cuts fuel consumption using innovative Danfoss Editron hybrid electric propulsion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":281,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":282,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280\/revisions\/282"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
