About the project

New generators and a high-voltage system

C-Job advised the client on revising, revitalizing and upgrading the power generation setup, and was responsible for the structural and mechanical engineering involved in the integration of IMO Tier III-compliant modifications.

This included a MAN SCR exhaust system and urea injection unit for the main engines which reduces NOx emissions, the replacement of auxiliary generators with new Tier III-compliant generators, and a high-voltage system for shore power connection.
