Harvey Gulf International Marine announced Sept. 24 it will install 10 battery systems on board eight of its vessels as the New Orleans-based offshore vessel owner continues its efforts to transform its fleet for greener operations. Harvey Gulf said it plans to install battery systems to convert its 310-foot liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fueled platform supply vessels (PSV) Harvey America, Harvey Liberty, Harvey Power and Harvey Freedom into tri-fuel vessels. Another four will be fitted onto three of the company’s 300- and 310-foot PSVs. The firm's 340-foot multipurpose support vessel (MPSV) Harvey Subsea will also be fitted with two battery systems, making it the only MPSV in the Americas that is dual fuel and battery powered. Installation of the 10 battery systems will enable Harvey Gulf to own and operate the world's largest fleet of combined dual- and tri-fueled vessels, the company said.
