Client Overview: Coastal Marine Shipping, Galway, Ireland

Based in Galway, Ireland, Coastal Marine Shipping is a well-known logistics firm that specializes in shipping cargo around Europe. Coastal Marine Shipping, which had a sizable shipyard and office complex, was dealing with growing energy expenses and a growing need for environmentally friendly corporate operations. In order to lessen their overall environmental effect, they looked for a renewable energy option to power their shipyard, maintenance facilities, and headquarters.

The Challenge: High Energy Demand for a Large-Scale Operation

Operating around the clock as a logistics company, Coastal Marine Shipping uses a lot of energy for machinery, office buildings, lighting, and heavy-duty shipyard equipment. Their dependence on conventional energy sources was unsustainable over time, and their energy usage resulted in hefty utility bills. Recognizing the growing significance of green practices in the shipping business, the company likewise sought to strengthen its environmental credentials.

In order to satisfy their high energy demands and drastically cut operating costs, Coastal Marine Shipping needed a solar energy provider that could manage a large-scale solar system.

The Solution: Rayco Eco’s Tailored Solar Energy System

Coastal Marine Shipping chose Rayco Eco to create and install a customized solar panel system for their offices and shipyard. Rayco Eco offered a comprehensive solution that included installing high-efficiency solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on the company’s office buildings and shipyard rooftops following an energy audit and space assessment.

Key features of the solution:

1. Large-Scale Solar PV Installation:
   • Rayco Eco installed a 200 kW solar PV system across the expansive rooftops of Coastal Marine Shipping’s shipyard facilities and office buildings.
   • The solar panels were designed to harness maximum solar energy, ensuring a steady supply of clean electricity to power lighting, office equipment, and heavy-duty shipyard machinery.
2. Battery Storage System:
   • To optimize energy usage, a battery storage system was integrated with the solar PV panels. This allows the company to store excess energy generated during sunny periods for use during the night or on cloudy days, reducing their reliance on the grid.
3. Real-Time Energy Monitoring:
   • In order to check their solar energy generation and consumption in real time, Rayco Eco supplied Coastal Marine Shipping with an energy monitoring system. With the aid of this system, the business may optimize energy use and modify activities to achieve maximum efficiency.
4. Custom Maintenance Plan:
   • To guarantee that the system keeps performing at its best, a personalized maintenance schedule was provided. To increase the solar panel system’s longevity and efficiency, routine maintenance was planned.

Results: Significant Cost Savings and Sustainability Gains

Since the installation of the solar PV system, Coastal Marine Shipping has experienced substantial benefits:

• Energy Cost Reduction: The solar panel system has reduced the company’s electricity bills by over 30%, with the potential to save hundreds of thousands of euros over the next decade.
