Case Study: Bollinger Shipyards powers the Ms. Charlotte with Cummins auxiliary and emergency generator solutions

Cummins Auxiliaries for Powerful New Off Shore Vessel

Bollinger Shipyards needed reliable auxiliary power for the Ms. Charlotte, a 300 Class Deep Water Support Vessel built for Edison Chouest. The vessel’s electrical demands included cargo pumps, dual bow and stern thrusters, and support for Dynamic Positioning 2 operations, making dependable onboard power essential. Cummins supplied the auxiliary and emergency power equipment for the ship.

Cummins equipped the vessel with two QSK19-powered 525-kW generator sets, two Stamford PM734F 1500-kW shaft generators, and a 175-kW emergency generator set powered by a Cummins 6CTA8.3-DM engine. This solution provided the redundancy and capacity needed for critical vessel systems and helped meet SOLAS requirements. The result was a powerful, reliable offshore vessel with robust electrical support from Cummins.
