The Edda Freya, with a length of 150 meters, a width of 27 meters and 2,300 square meters of total deck space. The vessel is equipped for such offshore work with a 150T dual tensioner vertical lay system and a 3000-ton carousel situated below deck.
The fuel saving, environmentally friendly propulsion system (Siemens BlueDrive PlusC) was implemented by Siemens in cooperation with Østensjø Rederi. By using variable rotational speed with optimal operation of the diesel generators in combination with the Corvus ESS, the system is expected to significantly reduce fuel consumption and the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and greenhouse gases (CO2/methane).
