Application

As the marine industry decarbonizes, more ports around the

globe are investing in shore power installations. Yet while shore

power provides electricity during a port stay, the vessel’s need for

steam remains. Although fired boilers can generally be used in

port, direct emissions are best kept to a minimum.

With the Aalborg electric steam boiler, vessels can meet the

needs of steam consumers without resorting to combustion.

The boiler can use either the onshore grid or the extra electricity

available on board, such as the surplus on LNG carriers and

FSRUs that comes from using the gensets to manage boil-off

gas (BOG). In both cases, it improves fuel economy and the

vessel’s green profile.

Benefits

• Steam or hot water production without direct emissions

• Reduced overall emissions and carbon footprint

• Reduced fuel consumption and associated costs

• Small installation footprint

• High turn-down ratio for increased efficiency
