In a strategic collaboration, SEAM and AMOGY are reaching significant milestones in the retrofitting process of a 1957 tugboat with state-of-the-art ammonia-to-power technology.
The retrofit involves a comprehensive overhaul of the tugboat’s original diesel generators and electric motors, integrating AMOGY’s high-efficiency ammonia-to-power system. SEAM’s pivotal role includes delivering the e-SEAMatic® BLUE package, incorporating the power system, integrated automation system, safety system, battery system, and electric motor for main propulsion.
The project is now well underway, with several milestones achieved:
- Successful completion of Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) for the e-SEA® Drive and AC switchboards.
- Seamless delivery of electric motor in collaboration with RAMME Electric Machines GmbH
- Efficient supply of ORCA® batteries from Corvus.
These components are now en route to Feeney Shipyard in Kingston, NY, for installation on the historic 66-year-old tugboat. The collaborative effort, involving ship designer C-Job, Yara Clean Ammonia, Corvus, Ramme, and AMOGY’s dedicated project team, underscores collective innovation’s power in shaping a sustainable maritime future.
SEAM is proud to play a central role in this endeavor, championing sustainable maritime solutions that set the course for a cleaner, greener future. The ammonia tugboat project stands as a testament to the power of collaborative innovation in reshaping the maritime industry.
