Heavy-Lift Vessels

Converteam is able to provide a full integrated package for semi-submersible heavy-lift vessels, from the electric propulsion (inboard or POD) system to the automation and Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems.
Compared to a conventional mechanical propulsion system, the electric propulsion system better meets main heavy lift shipowners and operators’ requirements.

Main benefits of Electric Propulsion for Heavy-Lift Vessels

• Higher efficiency: mainly at slow speeds and when maneuvering, with fast acceleration capability at slow speed
• Lower emissions
• Higher availability
• Easy ship operation and higher maneuverability when pods are considered
• Extra cargo capacity thanks to the in-board equipment arrangement flexibility (no mechanical links between the equipments)
