MS Oddrun With
Bergen Engines Powers Norway’s Most Advanced Cargo Vessel.
Delivered in May 2022 to Norwegian shipping company Egil Ulvan Rederi, MS Oddrun With is a state-of-the-art cargo and feed vessel designed to set new standards in sustainable maritime operations. Built at the Tersan Shipyard in Turkey, this 86.15-meter-long and 19.5-meter-wide vessel operates along the Norwegian coast from Østfold to Tromsø, supporting both general freight and aquaculture logistics.
Named after Egil Ulvan’s late wife, Oddrun With is more than a vessel. It’s a tribute to tradition and a bold step into a greener future. Its hybrid propulsion system combines Bergen’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) engines and battery power, drastically cutting greenhouse gas emissions and aligning with Norway’s green shipping goals.
Key Facts
The Core of Propulsion
The vessel is powered by a Bergen B36:45L6P gas engine, part of Bergen’s modular B-series. Developed with extensive input from marine operators and designers, this engine offers a low-emission, high-efficiency solution tailored to maritime needs.
The B36:45L series features advanced technologies to enhance its load control and engine response. Additionally, its wastegate turbocharger ensures optimal fuel-to-air ratios, especially in lean-burn operation. These innovations result in significantly reduced emissions of NOx, CO2, SOx, and particulates without smoke creating a cleaner, safer onboard environment.
Advanced Green Features
Oddrun With is widely recognized as one of the most environmentally advanced vessels operating along the Norwegian coast. A 350-cubicmetre LNG tank powers the ship, with LNG bunkered biweekly via Gasnor’s vessels. The ship uses the cold energy from LNG – stored at -150°C – to cool its freezer compartments, an innovation that significantly reduces overall energy consumption.
Its hybrid battery system enables full-electric operation during critical phases such as maneuvering and port operations. Additionally, the vessel’s 120-ton crane and pallet hoist are equipped with energy recovery systems that convert gravitational energy into electrical power, recharging the batteries in real time – a concept similar to regenerative braking in electric vehicles.
