Harvey Gulf International Marine announced Sept. 16 that it has put into service the M/V Harvey Power, a 310-foot platform supply vessel (PSV) that utilizes three fuel sources: LNG, electric battery, and ultra-low sulphur diesel, making it the second tri-fueled vessel in the United States, according to a company media release. The Harvey Power will be primarily operated utilizing only LNG and battery power. The company has three additional PSVs being retrofitted with batteries to make them tri-fueled, yielding a fleet of five tri-fueled vessels. Conversion for the final three vessels to tri-fuel status is anticipated for completion by March 31. HGIM is the only company in the nation with tri-fueled vessels. Harvey Gulf’s headquarters is in New Orleans; and has an operations facility at Port Fourchon, La. (Source: Harvey Gulf Marine 09/16/21)
