CSSC SETH Secures Contract for Shaft Generator Systems on Six 2,499 DWT Product Oil Tankers

Recently, CSSC Ship Electric Technology Co.,Ltd. successfully signed a contract to supply shaft generator systems for six 2,499 DWT product oil tankers. The project was ordered by Thailand's NATHALIN Group PRIMA MARINE, built by Ningbo Zhenhe Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., and designed by Shanghai FKAB Marine Design Co., Ltd. The 73-meter product oil tanker series is custom-designed for efficient and convenient operations in Thailand's coastal and river regions. Each vessel is equipped with five pairs of epoxy-coated cargo tanks and one pair of slop tanks. The vessels will be classed by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), fly the Thai flag, and operate in unrestricted navigation areas.

This series of oil tankers will be equipped with CSSC Ship Electric Technology Co.,Ltd.’s gearbox-type shaft generator system, featuring a 310 kW shaft-driven generator. The core frequency conversion and electrical control equipment incorporate SAISEI’s proprietary technology. The system, utilizing a shaft-driven frequency converter and filtering equipment, delivers stable, constant-frequency, and constant-voltage power. It can operate independently or in parallel with the vessel's auxiliary generators. The shaft generator system is one of the key energy-saving and environmentally friendly solutions implemented in the vessel design. Additional green technologies include FKAB’s patented low-resistance F-Bow hull, a biodiesel-powered main engine, and LED lighting.

To date, CSSC Ship Electric Technology Co.,Ltd. has delivered shaft generator systems for over 300 vessels, with an average monthly order intake exceeding 10 units—a new norm for the company’s shaft generator business. With proven operational stability and significant energy savings, CSSC SETH’s shaft generator systems have become an essential solution for reducing energy consumption in new shipbuilding projects, offering an optimal balance of cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
