Central to our delivery is the highly energy-efficient AERON Energy Recovery System (AERS), which is a crucial element in this prestigious project at Tersan Havyard.

The ferries will serve routes between Stokkvågen, Lovund, and Træna in northern Norway, areas that are critical both for commercial fishing operations and growing tourism. Each vessel will have the capacity for 60 vehicles and 250 passengers, including crew. These hybrid ferries, featuring an impressive 8,000 kWh battery capacity, will set a new standard as the most energy-efficient vessels in their class.

Aeron’s AERS system is a cornerstone of the vessels energy-saving approach. The AERON AERS is designed to optimize energy use by maximizing the recovery of “free” energy from onboard sources like air, water, and equipment before requiring additional power. This innovative system uses water-to-water heat pumps that leverage both heating and cooling capabilities depending on the ship’s needs

For heating, the AERS system first collects available energy from onboard systems, storing it in water tanks for later use. When more energy is required, the heat pump activates, utilizing renewable energy from the sea or outside air as much as possible before turning on additional systems.

For cooling, the AERS harnesses free energy from the outside air or seawater to regulate temperatures across the vessel. If necessary, the heat pump generates additional cooling for onboard spaces like accommodations and technical rooms.

Aeron also ensures seamless service and delivery with a single point of contact for all equipment in our HVAC system, making maintenance and support more efficient for our customers.

By ensuring all components are manufactured in-house, Aeron guarantees seamless integration and performance, whether in new builds or retrofits, allowing operators to quickly reduce emissions and operational costs.

Aeron is excited to extend our excellent relationship with Tersan Havyard and to contribute to this groundbreaking project for Norled.
