The Dutch company Wattlab has successfully completed the installation of its first large-scale solar large-scale, offshore-adapted solar system<\/a><\/strong> system on the MV Vertom Tula, a 7,280 deadweight ton multipurpose freighter. <\/p>\n\n

This integration makes the Vertom Tula one of the first coastal navigation vessels to incorporate 79 kWp of solar energy <\/strong>to power its auxiliary systems, standing out for its modular design and ease of installation.<\/p>\n\n

Streamlined installation and measurable results at Vertom Tula<\/h2>\n\n

The system was installed in a single day in Harlingen harbor thanks to the modular design of the 44 flat panels. Solar Flatrack<\/a><\/strong>panels, mounted on hatch covers. This configuration allows for quick removal and storage in spaces equivalent to a standard 20-foot container, without interfering with commercial cargo. <\/p>\n\n

The benefits of the solar solution have been confirmed by the TNO institute, which verified a reduction of up to 20%<\/strong> in auxiliary power consumption and a favorable return on investment, depending on the routes and consumption profiles. In addition, the absence of intensive maintenance and resistance to saline conditions reinforce its operational viability. <\/p>\n\n

Green horizon for the shipbuilding industry<\/h2>\n\n

The initiative aligns with European decarbonization regulations such as FuelEU Maritime and the EU ETS scheme, positioning the Solar Flatrack system as a scalable and effective alternative<\/strong> for coastal fleets. The project is also supported by the EU’s Just Transition Fund. <\/p>\n\n

Wattlab will present its Solar Flatrack system at Europort, highlighting its potential as a key component in the energy transition of maritime transport. maritime transport<\/a><\/strong>. The firm invites interested parties to visit its production plant in Rotterdam and get a closer look at this technology. <\/p>\n\n
