The project
is proceeding
ahead of schedule.
tions for the ship will commence in Sep-
tember or October 2017.
”Electrical design has been going on
since the autumn of 2016,” he says.
”The ship will be equipped with two
shaft generators of 2 MW each, plus four
500 kW diesel generators.”
One of the ship’s safety systems will
be a SRtP, Safe-Return-to-Port feature,
allowing the ship to reach the nearset
shore in case of engine failure. This will be
possible with the help of the shaft genera-
tors that can be utilised as auxiliary electri-
cal engines powering the ship’s propellers.
”The ship will have a highly inte-
grated navigation system, consisting
of Furuno FAR-3000 series chart radars
including Safe-Return-to-Port (SRtP) chart
radar workstation, Furuno electronic chart
ECDIS system, and Track Control autopi-
lot. Furthermore, the ship will be fitted
with water and satellite speed logs, echo
sounder, dual gyro compass, dual DGPS
and A1 GMDSS area equipment,” Mr.
Jukova Corporation is one of the leading system suppliers

”Overall, some 300 kilometres of
electrical cable will be needed for onboard
installation. Telesilta Oy will take part in the
installation work, along with our coopera-
tive partners,” Laulajainen says.
