Brunvoll Thruster EAL Upgrade: Protecting Our Waters with VGP compliance

Do you know that Brunvoll offers Environmental Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) conversion upgrade kits for its whole range of propulsion and manoeuvring thrusters? Brunvoll's EAL solution is based on a split lubrication system, ensuring compliance with Vessel General Permit (VGP) requirements while allowing continued use of cost-effective mineral oil.

Brunvoll DP2 Upgrades for More Møkster Vessels

After having performed a successful upgrade to BruCon DP2 for the vessel Stril Mar in January, Simon Møkster Shipping and Brunvoll have signed contracts for upgrade of two more vessels: Stril Mermaid and Stril Mariner.

Brunvoll & Utkilen's Major Retrofit Project

After detailed studies and deep technical discussions, Brunvoll is ready for major propulsion upgrades for two of Utkilen AS’s ice classed vessels. Thorough work by Brunvoll’s hydrodynamicists and service professionals have resulted in a streamlined retrofit design. Utkilen’s investment will enable a larger saving in fuel and emissions through the vessel’s remaining lifetime.

Retrofit & Upgrades

Through long-standing relationships, Brunvoll has built a wide technical and operational competence from design, production, service as well as maintenance and upgrades of propulsion and manoeuvring systems.
‍
For propulsion systems, the hydrodynamic competence within Brunvoll works hand in hand with mechanical and system engineers to develop energy efficient propulsion systems. Our in-house operational analysis is combined with results from CFD simulations and propeller performance as well as motor characteristics to detect the most favourable system-configuration across the vessels operational profile.
