Offshore wind vessels for transportation

The IPS Professional Platform provides you with high energy efficiency and flexibility for a range of power configurations – including combustion engines running on renewable fuels, fully electric and hybrid solutions – making it suitable for many offshore wind applications. The flexibility means that offshore wind vessels can be easily adapted to future energy requirements. With a combustion engine configuration, you can experience up to 30% savings in fuel efficiency and 30% lower emissions, compared to a traditional inboard shaft installation.

In a ground-breaking move towards a sustainable future, Volvo Penta is partnering with the UK’s Tidal Transit to retrofit a crew transfer vessel with Volvo Penta's advanced IPS system. The vessel is set to offer zero-emissions, enhanced safety, and improved maneuverability.

We've joined forces with Northern Offshore Services, and it's making waves. Leveraging our innovative Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform,  we are advancing towards a more sustainable future in marine operations. It's a big step, but it's just the beginning.

Together with Danfoss Editron, we’ve constructed two hybrid crew transfer vessels that feature the first electric Volvo Penta IPS. Our collaboration means that these hybrid vessels can operate in zero-emission electric mode for up to eight hours.

For professionals who demand precision in rough seas. Joystick Control doesn't just make bollard pushes easier, it makes them efficient and pinpoint-accurate, even in the challenging conditions of a wind farm. Seamlessly integrated with the propulsion system, the Joystick provides stress-free, ergonomic control of thrusters and steering. Accommodating up to six installations, it’s suitable for various engine types and multiple docking stations.

Dynamic Positioning System is designed to enhance control and steadiness in various wind and current conditions. The system, which operates effectively in both electric mode and combustion mode, is integrated with a joystick to simplify maintaining your course and position. Its intuitive repositioning feature enables precision with just a single touch

The Marine Commercial Control (MCC) system from Volvo Penta is a state-of-the-art engine control and monitoring solution, designed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine commercial market. This system is suitable for both electronic and mechanical engines and can be effortlessly incorporated into the ship's control system.
