MJR Power & Automation, a leading UK-based marine electrical engineering specialist, has been awarded a significant contract by Stena Line to upgrade the Power Management Systems (PMS) on board the Stena Scotia and Stena Hibernia vessels.
The contract includes the design, engineering, supply, and commissioning of state-of-the-art power management systems that will enhance the operational efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of the two vessels.
Upgrades for this project will involve the integration of modern digital control technology, improved monitoring capabilities, and enhanced automation features, all designed to optimise load sharing, power availability, and system redundancy in port and at sea.
The project is to be completed with minimal disruption to vessel operations during the scheduled dry dock, and will ensure the Stena Scotia and Stena Hibernia, two sister Ro-Ro freight vessels, continue to play a vital role in transporting goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Upgrades to these vessels also form part of Stena Line’s broader commitment to improvement in vessel performance, energy efficiency and environmental responsibility across its fleet.
Mark Scoular, Fleet Manager at Stena Line said, “The upgrades of the power management systems on the Stena Scotia and Stena Hibernia underscores our commitment to investing in our existing fleet for the long-term. These innovative enhancements will boost efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, ensuring our vessels continue to serve vital routes across the Irish Sea.”
“This award builds upon our longstanding relationship with Stena Line and reinforces our reputation as a trusted partner for critical vessel automation and power system projects,” said Paul Cairns, Managing Director at MJR Power & Automation. “Our team is proud to support Stena Line’s vessel operations in the UK & Ireland providing local services to the fleet.”
