Energy Retrofit and Tier III Compliance

Transforming Pelagic Fishing Vessel:
A Tier III & 16.25% Energy Retrofit Success Story

.
How do you future-proof a 68-meter pelagic trawler built in 2000 against strict environmental standards?
.
Together with Norwegian shipowner, NOENCO has engineered a comprehensive energy and emission overhaul for the vessel.
.
By bundling cutting-edge emissions tech with 5 core energy efficiency upgrades, we bridged the gap between environmental responsibility and maritime profitability.
.
    • Tier III NOx Compliance: A new SCR system slashes main engine NOx-emissions from 11.1 g/kWh down to just 1.50 g/kWh – even at idling loads.
    • Smart Energy Management: Implementation of VesOPS Coast & MCS automation to track data right down to the CO₂ footprint per kilo of fish caught.
    • Next-Gen Cooling: The legacy R22 plant is swapped for a modern Ammonia (R717) RSW system, utilizing VFD load-regulation and the cold North Sea water.
    • Power on Demand Hydraulics: Upgraded KARM Winch systems eliminate thermal idling losses.
    • Advanced Filtration: Swapping energy-heavy separators for offline filters removed high heating demands and fluid product losses.

.
The Proven Impact:
    • 16.25% reduction in energy consumption.
    • 294,1 MT of MGO yearly fuelsavings.
    • 583,6 tonnes of CO₂ eliminated annually.
    • 296 K USD saved every year in direct fuel and NOx tax cuts.

.
With an overhaul of this scale, capital efficiency is key.

NOENCO built the data baseline to secure financial support from the Norwegian NOx Fund – turning an ambitious green vision into a profitable, future-proof commercial reality.
