Stena Teknik
Summary of 2024
Stena Teknik acts as a knowledge centre within the Group, focusing on new build projects, energy transition and digital transformation. www.stenateknik.com
To ensure that Stena’s fleet complies with future regulations and navigates the energy transition successfully, the company constantly evaluates various technologies in order to optimise efficiency. This includes implementing energy-saving innovations such as sails, and improved antifouling, as well as increased use of alternative fuels, such as biofuels and methanol. For short sea shipping, new chemical compositions for batteries are being analysed and tested, and the possibility of integrating fuel cells for the electrification of vessels is also being investigated.
Working on the basis of a time horizon of 10-20 years, Stena Teknik supports the business units in making fact-based and informed decisions.
New vessel design
A concept design for RoRo, RoPax and tankers was developed in 2024 in close cooperation with Stena Line and Stena Bulk. Further efforts have also been made to phase out fossil fuels; monitoring regulations to ensure that all vessels meet applicable requirements, identifying relevant technologies and evaluating business cases for investments in new systems.
In addition to monitoring regulations, Stena Teknik models and simulates vessel performance to predict fuel consumption, emissions and financial consequences, in combination with weather-based route optimisation. By drawing lessons from other industries, such as the aerospace and manufacturing sectors, the company explores where AI can add real value to ship operations.
Stena Teknik drives innovation by exploring and implementing new lightweight materials and developing interior designs of the future to improve crew comfort and well-being.
The technical expertise that Stena Teknik brings to the table enhances Stena’s competitiveness through more energy-efficient vessels and a deeper understanding of new technology developments.
