OFFSHORE WIND
Offshore charging buoy to reduce vessel emissions MAERSK SUPPLY SERVICE AND ØRSTED HAVE JOINED FORCES TO TEST A PROTOTYPE BUOY THAT WILL ACT AS BOTH A SAFE MOORING POINT AND CHARGING STATION FOR VESSELS, POTENTIALLY DISPLACING a significant amount of marine fuel with green electricity. The solution, developed by Maersk Supply Service, will be tested on one of Ørsted’s offshore windfarms in 2021.

aersk Supply Service and Ørsted have formed a partnership to test an innovative charging buoy that can bring green electricity to offshore windfarm service vessels and likely to a wide range of maritime vessels. The buoy can be used to charge the smaller battery or hybrid-electrical vessels and supply power to larger vessels, enabling them to turn
