Volvo Penta and Northern Offshore Services (N-O-S) are continuing their collaboration on a new project to advance marine operations that support the offshore wind industry. N-O-S will use the new Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform on its crew transfer vessels (CTVs).The Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform includes a new propulsion design with a dual power input concept that enables the utilisation of different combinations of power sources from combustion engines running on renewable fuels to fully electric or hybrid solutions. The dual power input concept of the Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform is supported by a Eco Mode feature that will automatically manage and optimise the use of power based on real-time needs during operation. The Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform is compact and frees up onboard space and it has been shown to reduce perceived noise by up to 50%. The forward-facing propeller design and dual power input also lower the vibration levels onboard.
