Peter, this is the best article I've read in a long while. BZ. Very well organized and easy to follow analytical piece. Seems like the reference projects are grasping a bit on the meeting the different criteria. The Fins are making a good point as well regarding the big picture in Europe. I feel this one will/should remain in Finland at the end of the day, and like yourself, watching closely.

Exactly. the ESS system on Charcot, per one of the Captains I spoke with, enabled him to increase power temporarily without starting an addition engine. This enables better handling of engine load (diesels need a higher loading) and lessens overall emissions.
