The Switch was selected to deliver new single drives for propulsion to replace older ones on a multipurpose offshore support vessel (MPSV) that do not fulfill today’s cybersecurity regulations. The scope of delivery not only includes 4 single drives for propulsion but also The Switch DC-Hub to connect the battery to the AC switchboard, make shore connection and control one thruster.
“The customer chose The Switch drives and hybrid DC-Hub because they fully comply with today’s international cybersecurity regulations and help future-proof the vessel,” Eelis Rousu, Key Account Manager, says. “It helps the owner also fulfill their commitment to excellence in meeting the specific requirements and operational modes demanded in complex offshore energy applications.”
