In addition to replacing the existing DP2 systems for the two vessels, Brunvoll will also replace the current propulsion and thruster control systems, as well as the independent joystick system. The systems will be replaced with Brunvoll’s BruCon DP2, BruCon PTC (Propulsion & Thruster Control), and BruCon JS.

“We look forward to further developing our relationship with Brunvoll. For our part, it is important to have a skilled supply chain to ensure the smooth operation of our vessels. We are committed to ensuring that the cluster and the maritime environment is complete, and the supplier network is a significant part of this,” says Anne Jorunn Møkster, CEO of Simon Møkster Shipping.

The upgrade on Stril Mar, which was carried out in January, was the first delivery of BruCon DP2, and installation, testing, and approval were completed within the timeframe. Feedback from the crew onboard has also been positive.

“We are pleased with the strong relationship we have with Simon Møkster Shipping, including the DP2 upgrade for Stril Mar, and look forward to getting started with the next vessels. This time with more Brunvoll products included,” says Jim Varmedal, Sales Manager for Retrofit at Brunvoll.

When the next two vessels dock, Brunvoll will deliver and install BruCon DP2, BruCon JS, and BruCon PTC systems. This will ensure even better coordination and dynamics from multiple control positions on the bridge down to the manoeuvring units below the water surface.
