THE PROBLEM
To develop and approve the design of a hybrid passenger ferry for use
on the commuter route across Auckland Harbour, New Zealand.
The project manager had a number of very specific technical issues and
questions on which a second opinion was needed.
As experts in the maritime industry with a vast wealth and variety
of experience, MSI was approached to tackle this problem.
With a Network of over 100 Maritime professionals spanning 37 countries, Maritime Services International can tackle any problem.
OUR SOLUTION
MSI undertook a range of different research projects into the developing market for hybrid vessels, the main manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries, known public domain issues with lithium-ion batteries, specific performance issues with anti-fouling paint, safety management system controls and consultancy advice on the new building contract.
Using best practise (as in there was no better) and drawing from a wide range of sources (not limited solely to marine practice) the programme delivers practical advice and guidance to Owners, Managers and Captains identifying any areas were improvements could be made.
THE RESULTS
A series of written reports were created and submitted, the design was decided upon and the new building contract was quickly agreed with builders in New Zealand.
