WELCOME TO SEAWORK 2025

Welcome to the Maritime Journal Seawork 2025 edition, which you will be able to find on stands and in our press area during the three-day show in Southampton.

Now opening its doors for the 26th time, Seawork is growing bigger every year and adding new activities each time.

“Working on and around the water is a real vocation,” says Andrew Webster, CEO of Seawork organiser Mercator Media. “Each and every year Seawork brings along familiar faces amongst exhibitors and visitors, who may change jobs, but never move too far away from the sea.”

One of this year’s debuts is the Flood Fighter pavilion, where experts and flood fighters themselves will join together and talk about the issues facing regions at risk of flooding, and how we should be preparing ourselves for crazy weather events.

‘Future Seawork’ also launches this year, a competition among UK students in the industry who are shaping its future with ground-breaking research projects and innovations. We showcase them alongside the Innovations, which will be up for awards as usual on the first day of the event.

Seawork is a proven platform bringing businesses together and building networks, with visitors and exhibitors coming from across the planet to wander around the booths and the pontoons, where a vast range of vessels will be moored up.

Don’t forget the conferences as well – for informative presentations, panel discussions and sometimes rather heated exchanges, as industry thrashes out the issues of the day in open sessions throughout the three days. Check the schedule in the catalogue in this magazine for details.

We are lucky enough to be in one of the most interesting sectors – commercial marine – and despite the challenges of incoming legislation, supply chain woes, climate technologies and so on, we can also find the time to have fun. One of the most popular events at Seawork is our Cardboat Boat Regatta, which is being run for a sixth year this year, so join the crowds cheering on the brave as they attempt to cross the finish line in homemade boats before capsizing.

Enjoy the show!

TRUMP U-TURNS ON WIND

US president Donald Trump has lifted a stop-work order on the Empire Wind project by Equinor, the energy giant has said, adding it would restart construction, without saying when.

An order to stop work was issued a month ago, on April 16, but Equinor says that has been lifted ‘following dialogue with regulators and federal, state and city officials’.

“I would like to thank the Norwegian Prime Minister Støre and Minister of Finance

Stoltenberg for their support at a critical time, and that the Minister of Finance raised the situation with the U.S.administration,” says Anders Opedal, President and CEO of Equinor ASA. A $1.5 billion loan facility was agreed for the Empire Wind project, sited off the State of New York, and in April Equinor said it was considering ‘legal remedies’ to deal with the stop-work order.

Since the early 2000s, Equinor has invested approximately $60 billion in US energy projects, mainly within oil and gas.

BMT PARTNERS BAE IN FRIGATE BID

Maritime engineering firm BMT has exclusively partnered defence and aerospace firm BAE Systems in bidding for a frigate support contract with Australia.

The Anzac Class Design Support Contract is under open tender in the Commonwealth to contract out warship sustainment at the Henderson maritime precinct in Western Australia.

In order to bid for the tener, BMT and BAE have formed an exclusive partnership known as ‘DSC-West’ to reflect ’the combined warship sustainment capability’ of the firms in Australia.

“It brings together two leaders in naval engineering to deliver superior sovereign maritime solutions tailored to the COmmonweath’s evolving requirements,” a BMT statement said. “Through this collaboration, BMT and BAE Systems Australia offer deep platform insight, enduring design authority access,

UK wave energy

CorPower Ocean has signed a berth agreement to build a 5MW wave energy project at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Scotland. It is being touted as the first commercial wave farm and is scheduled for deployment in 2029 at EMEC’s gridconnected Billia Croo wave energy test site, consisting of 14 wave energy converters, each with a 9m diameter spherical composite hull, that will operate for up to 15 years.

The team is uniquely positioned to meet the demanding needs of Anzac Class sustainment, offering both the “know-how” and “know-why” critical to platform performance and longevity.”

The announcement of the partnership comes about six months after BMT bought up the

Subsea connection

Italy and Greece will install a new 1GW HVDC subsea cable alongside an existing one to boost their mutual power capacity alongside an existing 500ME cable. Italian national grid operator Terna signed an MoU with Greek Transmission System Operator IPTO for 300km of cable to be installed, 240km of it along the seabed. Terna is also working on a subsea connection between mainland Italy and the islands of Sicily and Sardinia.

UK holds fire on carbon taxes

The UK is holding off on imposing carbon taxes or other green penalties in the smaller vessel segment until the 2030s, representatives from the Department for Transport (DfT) told members of a decarbonisation event in London.

As the IMO launches the world’s first global carbon pricing scheme for all ocean-going vessels over 5,000GT, the first time a UN agency has imposed emissions limits on an entire industry, the DfT said it would listen and engage with the smaller vessels industry before doing anything until probably the next decade, Sheuli Sumon told the meeting.

Electrification, future fuels, biofuel, HVO – all options are on the table, with no clear frontrunner, and while some delegates said the solutions were already out there, others said while that might be the case, the infrastructure was not in place and no one knew when the rules would change.

H&W shake-up

Donato Martinez has been appointed CEO of the former Harland & Wolff shipyards that were saved from collapse just before Christmas by Navantia UK. The four sites at Belfast, Arnish, Appledore and Methil will now come under the leadership of Martinez for its Fleet Solid Support programme, in which three 215m vessels will be built for the UK Navy by 2032 to support the UK Carrier Strike Group.

The DfT's Ben Craig said he understood the scale of the challenge.

“We need different solutions for different sectors, ie inland waterways versus sea users,” he said. “There is different infrastructure and different barriers. You need to be confident you can A to B and there will be charging infrastructure in place.”

The DfT has issued a Call for Evidence, with a deadline of July 25, for all parties to have their say.

High endurance USV

A USV designed for 60-day deployments has been unveiled by Zero USV. The 13-metre vessel has a hybrid-electric propulsion system and a 4,000-litre fuel capacity, which Zero USV says is ‘a leap forward in autonomous maritime operations’. The XLR builds on technology developed for previous version Oceanus12, and can run for 7,500nm, about 60 days. It is also built for remote missions or regions where access to fuelling points is limited.

JV set up to expand offshore wind in Korea

Denmark-based ESVAGT has signed a joint-venture partnership with South Korean KMC Line specifically to expand the offshore wind market in South Korea.

The joint venture has been named ‘Kesto’.

KMC Line is a coastal and global shipping company with activities in heavy cargo shipping, with a fleet of vessels including bulkers and RoRo vessels.

The joint venture is quite a step away from its traditional lines of business, which president and CEO James Jonghoon Kim recognised in the signing.

“The Korean offshore wind market is one of the fastest growing markets,” he said. “We have a strong industrial base in South Korea but lack experience and the standard of service quality in the offshore wind industry.”

South Korea, which has plans to install more than 18GW of offshore wind by 2030, is still very much at an early stage, whereas offshore wind has been an expanding sector for ESVAGT.

“KMC Line brings important market insight and strong relationships with local partners and authorities as well as the largest maritime universities in Korea,” said Jacob LykkeKjeldsen, Senior Sales Executive at ESVAGT.

Outboard maker Cox Marine says it will shift from R&D to high-volume manufacturing. The company aims to transition to a B2B sales model, it says, and re-focus on increased production and market expansion. It has also overhauled its leadership, hiring Hugh Hudleston as Business Development director. “I am delighted to be taking on this new role at such a pivotal time for Cox Marine,” he said.

ØRSTED SCRAPS GIANT OFFSHORE WIND FARM

Energy giant Ørsted has pulled the plug on Hornsea 4, the fourth offshore wind farm of a total 8GW of potential offshore wind off the east coast of northern England.

In a statement that should send shock waves across the industry, Ørsted blamed economic forces for the discontinuation of Hornsea 4, which would have seen 180 wind turbines installed over an area of 492km2. Generation capacity was 2.6GW.

“Since the Contract for Difference (CfD) award in allocation round 6 in September 2024, the 2,400MW Hornsea 4 project has seen several adverse developments relating to

continued increase of supply chain costs, higher interest rates and an increase in the risk to construct and operate Hornsea 4 on the planned time-line for a project of this scale,” it said.

Group president and CEO Rasmus Errboe, who only took the reins at Ørsted earlier this year, said the company ‘remained fully committed to being an important partner to the UK government to help them achieve their ambitious target for offshore wind build-out’.

“However, our capital allocation is based on a strict and value-focused approach, and after careful consideration, we’ve decided to discontinue the development of the Hornsea 4 project in its current form, well ahead of the planned Final Investment Decision later this year.”

FINCANTIERI EXPLORES NEW DEEP DIVE SEGMENT

Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has embarked on a new revenue stream with eyes on subsea technology and development, the company says.

Announcing a target to reel in €820 million in revenue, the company says it will set up an ‘Underwater Technology Hub’ to integrate civil, military and dual-use underwater capabilities under unified management, bringing together expertise in submarine systems, acoustic and radar technologies, unmanned vehicles and topside deployment solutions.

“The underwater domain, where civilian and defence needs increasingly overlap, is emerging as a key battleground for strategic autonomy and innovation,” the

“The consolidation of crosssector demand in defence, dual-use, and civilian applications is making underwater technology a strategic priority for governments and industries,” said CEO and general manager Pierroberto Folgiero.

EU maritime strategy

EU ministers have signed a Szczecin Declaration supporting shipbuilding and maritime manufacturing in the face of outside competition and other challenges. The declaration, signed at the 11th International Maritime Congress in Poland, lays out what ministers believe should be included in the forthcoming EU Industrial Maritime Strategy, such as Asian competition, skills shortage, more access to finance, and uncertainty over alternative fuels.

Attis Engineering Solutions

Safe and accurate tow point testing

Currently there is no safe testing regime for physically testing bollards on vessels, especially none that do not involve stored energy (pulling or pushing). We have amalgamated two non-invasive tests that are designed to test bollard capacities and deck capacities (berths, bridges, floors, etc.) so that we get a full understanding of the strength of a tow point and the deck area around it. This test will produce results in a fraction of the time that standard calculations such as finite element analysis and other mathematical modelling, and the rests are based on the condition and not the accuracy of data input into a model. The latter is always prone to variation and unreliable data sources.

SEAWORK: EXHIBITING BEST OF BRITISH VESSEL BUILDING

Two of Seawork’s regulars are showcasing their joint collaboration again with vessels on the pontoons at Mayflower Park

One of these, the Chartwell Brevity Crew Transfer Vessel, has emerged from Diverse Marine’s yard on the Isle of Wight and is testament to the quality of design, engineering and shipbuilding not just there but in yards all over the UK, says naval architect Andy Page, the managing director of Chartwell Marine.

He and Diverse Marine director Ben Colman took Maritime Journal editor Debbie Mason on a tour of the yard, where quality, craftmanship and customer value is emphasised –and where sub-50m craft on par, if not above, competition from the Far East.

Both Chartwell Marine and Diverse Marine were founded within a couple of years of each other less than 10 years ago, and with already long-standing relationships between the two, it was inevitable that Chartwell designs would take shape in Diverse’s Cowes yard.

Diverse’s first CTV – HST Ella – was a Chartwell design, and CTVs now take up 50% of the Diverse Marine's volume and 80% of its revenue.

Stock

Build route

Diverse Marine has changed its model from always quoting against tenders to initiating a Stock Build programme, essentially building the vessel before finding a customer.

“We’ve changed the dynamic a little bit with the Stock Build – we’re building the boats that we think the industry wants,” says Colman.

The Brevity class vessel coming to Seawork is Stock Build 3 of eight, most of which have been delivered. Discussions have already begun for the second batch, says Colman.

“The other thing from a market dynamic perspective is Ben can now react to demand with vessel availability,” says Page. “Because of the maturity of offshore wind in Europe, as an industry you're getting fewer small, medium enterprise entrepreneur owners of these assets, and more corporate, larger structures, who might want a vessel on this day for this price and might not even want to own it.

"They might want to use it then someone else take it on, and the dynamic now is that Diverse can respond to that in a way that wasn't possible before.”

Diverse also offers a Finance & Lease facility, whereby the shipyard funds the construction of the vessels, giving the owner/operator the ability to “collect” the vessel on completion through term finance or long-term lease options.

“We did some work with the finance institutions that funded the majority of the boats we were building at the time for our clients, who recognised their risk was already there. If something happened to Diverse Marine, they were already at risk because they were funding the boat anyway. So they had a vision that they could basically remove the middleman, ie the operator, and just go straight in to fund the shipyard.

“We worked with them to bring that to fruition and signed up an initial eight boats, of which half have been delivered. And I think all bar one of those are now in build.

“We were committed to mixing the designs up with only

two naval architects, with whom we had strong working relationships and that's how we can provide for and mitigate the risk of similar boats.”

Chartwell is one of the architects, Walker Marine the other.

UK strength

Although the UK cannot always compete on upfront price –Page estimates it is possibly 7-8% higher than competition from the Far East – the savings from greater fuel efficiency, lower maintenance costs and longer service life all win out ultimately, he says.

Apart from Damen, primary competition in the CTV market comes from the Far East, Page and Colman say, often arriving in the UK requiring maintenance.

■ Andy Page (L) and Ben Colman in front of models of vessels that were deisgned and built in collaboration

■ Andy Page points out the quality of the welding in the bow of the BrevityClass CTV

One main differentiator is weight: UK vessels are typically 15 to 25 tonnes lighter than those produced outside Europe, and in the vessels coming out of Diverse Marine’s yard, Chartwell’s expertise in weight management plays a major role.

High-quality welding allows the use of thinner shell plates, and wherever possible, the company sources superior European components, so unlike competitors using generic Far Eastern components that are often designed for heavy steel barges, Diverse Marine prioritises weight efficiency at every stage, which can mean the difference between a full and empty fuel load.

Another critical factor not always taken into account is UK delivery, says Colman: shipping costs and potential revenue loss during transport can amount to as much as £500,000.

“There’s loads of good activity going on in the UK and we're very good at building boats in that sub-50m size range,” says Page. “Look at organisations such as Goodchild Marine, building pilot boats really successfully; they've got a scaled, systematic programme. They’re just one example.

“In the UK we like to tailor and we like to find a solution for the customer. The UK is always good at adapting to whatever comes along, and quick thinking, providing solutions. I can’t emphasise enough how good we are at this in the UK. We really should be building all our own tonnage sub-50 metre, there’s no reason not to.”

Smaller craft opportunities

With the size of turbines growing so fast, vessels have had to grow in tandem, potentially leaving the smaller CTVs redundant – on the newer wind farms anyway.

But there are still hundreds of smaller turbines operating beyond their predicted lifetimes, and they all need servicing too.

“That's what they're calling legacy turbines,” says Colman. “There's a huge amount of turbines in the seabed that can't cater for big CTV's like this, whether that's the height of the platforms or the pressures applied when these go to push on. Most of these early wind farms were constructed using 12 to 14 metre boats, with no real regard for bespoke CTVs.

“So those wind farms are getting older and are going through

Brevity Snapshot

Everyone’s looking for fuel savings and taking the Diverse Marine-built Chartwell Brevity-class CTV out for a spin a couple of weeks before Seawork, running on its 800 horsepower Volvo Penta IPS 1050 diesel engines, the numbers were impressive.

Brevity was burning the equivalent of 330 litres of diesel per hour at 20 knots – when a similar vessel at similar speed would easily expect to be using 580 litres, says Page.

“That means we’re doing 40% less fuel burn,” he says. “That’s a saving of £250 an hour.”

Turning off two of the four engines the vessel still has a perfectly acceptable speed of 15 knots, and the more this can be done, the less engine servicing is required.

The IPS 1050s also make the 27.8m x 9.4m vessel incredibly manoeuvrable, navigating her way off and on the Cowes berth with ease.

Weight of course affects fuel burn, and the thinness of the aluminium hull shell plate is

life expansion, commercial decisions of deconstruction or renewed operation, and those sites require different CTVs. Yet we were told by one contractor that in the last 15 years only six vessels under 18 metres have been built.

“That's because the industry has grown up and nobody's really had an eye on what happens when those boats reach the end of their operational life, be that through wear and tear or be that because the expectation now is to have 18-20 metre boats with the level of comfort that you see on these new boats today.

“We're quite excited about this because I think if the industry reverts back to smaller boats for a period of time, or in addition to larger boats, it will be a great opportunity because we've become more competitive in smaller boats than the likes of the Far East yards. The cost delta between the boat and the shipping becomes exponential and the appetite to ship small vessels back to the UK would be very small. We're excited about that opportunity because it could be a big industry.”

■ Chartwell Brevity-Class built by Diverse Marine

made possible because of Chartwell’s kit set design and also the quality of welding.

Colman estimates that European-made CTVs are 15 to 25 tonnes lighter than those made outside Europe.

Crew comfort

Comfort is a major concern these days, and immediately noticeable was the peace of the journey thanks to the deck being

mounted on the entire substructure on resilient engine mounts.

Running at its top speed of up to 30 knots, on the bridge there is no difference in noise because passengers have effectively been isolated from engine noise and vibration.

“The other thing you notice is the quality of outfit,” says Colman. “We invest heavily in tooling to make it as efficient a build as possible, so everywhere we can, we put GRP mouldings into the boat and we're trying to standardise that across different boats.”

There’s also an AI system from Hefring Marine, which not only plans the best route for optimum fuel efficiency according to sea state and weather conditions, it also helps the master improve comfort through speed and course.

The Brevity class can take 32 technicians and also has sleeping cabins. It can be delivered in a range of configurations including hybrid zero emission.

One of Seawork’s longest-standing exhibitors will be showcasing three vessels at Speed and Seawork this year.

Berthon Boat Company is sending a pair of Gemini RIBs to Speed, which falls on June 9, and a third to Seawork alongside them on June 10-12. All have been built and customised for their respective owners.

Making its Speed debut is the Gemini 880 T-Top RIB in an all-black stealth finish, measuring 8.80m x 2.95m and powered by twin Yamaha F250 NSB outboards. With its deep V-hull and commercial-grade Hypalon tubes, Berthon says it ensures a smooth ride in challenging conditions and it’s protected from the elements with its T-Top shelter.

As well as offering delegates sea trials at Speed, the 880 will then make its way to the pontoons at Seawork on June 10-12, where visitors can experience live demonstrations. Head to marina berths VA32, VA33 and VA34.

The second Gemini at Speed is Berthon’s latest in-house built RIB, the 1060 Cabin RIB, measuring 10.60m x 3.25m and powered by twin Yamaha F350 outboards. It will also be following up at Seawork, at the same berths.

Finally at Seawork you can also find Berthon’s Gemini 650 RIB, which provides an ideal solution for commercial operations that

SEAWORK OFFERS SILVER LINING FOR DUROWIPERS

Still paying the price for Brexit some five years after the UK officially left the European Union, Durowipers is grabbing the opportunities on offer at Seawork

Noel Gould, MD of the Gloucestershire-based firm, says the UK’s decision to leave was unfathomable. Durowipers was making significant inroads into the European Union when Brexit, to a large extent, slammed the door on that area of expansion.

“I couldn’t fathom at the time why we, as a nation would wish to upset and close ourselves off from our biggest market,” says Gould. “I couldn’t make sense of it then, and my thoughts remain the same now. Then we had the incompetent Boris government, Covid and the Liz Truss budget catastrophe, all in a few short years – it seemed that events were very much not on the side of small manufacturers.”

Durowipers is a specialist manufacturer of patented dual pantograph marine windscreen wipers that have a growing following among demanding blue-chip users from the RNLI to the Royal Navy.

In some ways, Durowipers’ unique technology protects this company from these kinds of potential shocks, and while Gould is cautious about putting a number on the Durowipers business lost to Brexit, it’s clear that it was significant. The company also lost two successive years of exhibiting at Seawork soon after.

“Our technology is patented, and we believe superior to other marine wiper systems, plus we build them to last and we offer a range of industry-leading warranties for commercial customers and lifetime for the RNLI and our Royal Navy,” he says. “We will never be the cheapest option, but boatbuilders who wish to offer their customers the best and exacting users such as militaries will specify Durowipers even when fluctuations in international trading arrangements may make them more expensive.

“In 2020 the world was in lockdown and the show didn’t happen, and in 2021 the entire Durowipers stand staff tested positive with Covid in the lead-up to the show so we missed that one too.”

Benefits of Seawork

Seawork has proved particularly beneficial to Durowipers over the years.

“It’s our key event in terms of marketing each year,” says Gould. “Other shows are bigger and might feel busier at the time, but one year we exhibited at a large commercial marine event in Germany to give it a try. We were inundated by enquiries at the stand – we recorded more than 50 enquiries, but not one of those 50 was converted into a sale.

“It works the other way round at Seawork. Maybe only a dozen enquiries, but most or all of them convert to sales. It’s pure trade to trade at Seawork. Real vessels are being contracted or built and they all need equipment. Many of them will need wipers. Some of them will need exceptionally good wipers.”

The event also provided a great counter surge to Durowipers’ Brexit blues with new contracts in other parts of the world taking up the slack.

“We also benefited from business-to-business sales at

As we all know, companies often tour the stands at industry events to sell to the exhibitors, but this is not always merely an irritation.

“We were approached at Seawork by a specialist in securing ATEX approval for electrical components for use on oil rigs. We eventually went ahead with them to get some of our products ATEX certified. Now there are Durowipers on oil rigs and we’ve been busy this year supplying more of them, so it’s been a successful income stream for us, thanks in no small part to Seawork.”

Durowipers is one of Seawork’s stalwarts, one of the legion of happy exhibitors that usually book their stand at the event the year before.

“We’ve got a great stand position that we want to keep. We’re right there in the first few exhibitors that get seen when customers come through the main doors. It’s a position we took up when the show first moved into its current location at Mayflower Park. Of course, securing the pitch 12 months ahead of the show means we get a bit of a discount too!”

DREDGER CHRISTENED AS LATEST MEMBER OF ABP FLEET

Associated British Ports (ABP) division UK Dredging (UKD) has officially named a new Water Injection Dredger (WID) as its latest fleet addition

UKD Seadragon is a Damen-built Shoalbuster 2711 and was christened in Wales with the traditional Champagne bottle smashing by godmother Rhian Lewis. who spoke about the vessel’s connection to maritime heritage. It is the first vessel to be registered in Cardiff in six years, says ABP.

The vessel has a special diesel-electric propulsion and power management system that ABP says optimises engine efficiency and reduces emissions. Equipped with a fully electric E-DOP450 dredge pump, the vessel has a dredging capacity of

4,000m3 per hour and includes an A frame for added versatility.

“This dredger is the result of very close cooperation between both parties and represents the first of a new generation of efficient and innovation water injection dredgers,” said Joppe Neijens, Sales Manager Dredging, Damen Shipyards.

Seadragon is 233 tonnes in weight, with a length of 27 metres and a speed of 9.5 knots.

She is specified to provide multi purpose dredging support with WID, bed-levelling, buoy handling and survey capability.

Damen Shipyards is to build a surveillance vessel for the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) in strengthen marine security and surveillance capabilities.

Both surface and subsea surveillance will be carried out, with uncrewed vehicles also used to monitor vessel activities in the North Sea, specifically for the Dutch exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

The Damen way of working means we can deliver a vessel quickly and we can start work at short notice to monitor and protect the strategic interests of the Netherlands in the North Sea ‘‘

Critical underwater infrastructure, such as cables and pipelines, will be monitored and crew will also be provided.

The vessel, a Fast Crew Supplier (FCS) 5009, is 53.9m long by 9.8m, with four main Caterpillar/MTU engines that give it a speed

SURVEILLANCE VESSEL ORDERED FOR DUTCH NAVY

of up to 27 knots. It has a Sea Axe bow design, which Damen says was put together with the Delft University of Technology and give it ‘unparalleled sea-keeping abilities’.

“We are very proud of the confidence the Ministry of Defence has placed in us for executing this important contract,” said Arnout Damen, CEO of the Damen Shipyards Group. “The Damen way of working means we can

deliver a vessel quickly and we can start work at short notice to monitor and protect the strategic interests of the Netherlands in the North Sea.”

Subsea monitoring equipment will be provided by Fugro. This project has been funded by the North Sea Infrastructure Protection Program (PBNI) coordinated by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.

A NEW ERA IN MEDIUM-SPEED MARINE PROPULSION

HamiltonJet’s latest innovation – the LTX waterjet – has moved from initial design to commercial reality after its first vessel installation

The first commercial contract for the waterjets has seen them successfully commissioned on a 20-metre passenger ferry in The Netherlands.

“The LTX is a game changer. It offers propeller-like efficiency at lower speeds while maintaining all the advantages of waterjet propulsion – shallow water operation, safety and unmatched manoevrability,” said Ben Reed, managing director, HamiltonJet.

”Our customers’ operational needs are changing alongside global environmental expectations. Some are lowering speeds to save energy; others are adopting electric or hybrid drivetrains. The LTX has been designed with this future in mind.”

Reshaping performance

The vessel Inselexpress 2, built by Next Generation Shipyard, is powered by twin LTX36 jets driven by Volvo D8 engines (313 bkW) via ZF gearboxes.

Our customers’ operational needs are changing alongside global environmental expectations ‘‘

During trials, the ferry comfortably met its predicted top speed of 23.5 knots, validating the LTX’s technical promises and its potential to reshape propulsion performance in the 20 to 30 knot range.

Originally launched as a new design in 2023, the LTX series is HamiltonJet’s bold step into the low- to medium-speed market traditionally dominated by propeller systems.

The jets – now commercially available in LTX36 and LTX53 models – were inspired by nature’s most efficient swimmer: The moon jellyfish. Travelling via a low-velocity jet of water, the jellyfish achieves exceptional efficiency through a large nozzle, minimal energy input, and a finely tuned natural design.

HamiltonJet drew from this biological model to develop a propulsion solution with similar attributes – optimised nozzle size, reduced jet velocity and a lightweight structure.

The result is a jet with up to 40% more bollard pull than comparable jets, enhancing station-keeping and acceleration

Additional LTX-powered vessels are also in development, including fully electric ferries in New Zealand and Europe.

Maersk Supply Service launches Wind Installation Vessel

Maersk Supply Service, a new company under the A. P. Møller Holding umbrella, has launched a Wind Installation Vessel (WIV) that it claims is 30% faster than conventional jack-up vessels.

The company says the WIV will be stationed at one wind farm to carry out successive installations rather than travelling back and forth to ports, while tugs and barges ferry turbine components to the installation site.

“These will be delivered to the WIV using a patented load transfer system that will enable safe transfer of cargo,” it says, listing four key steps:

1. The barge docks at the WIV in the field

2. A locking system engages to stabilise the barge

3. A tray with turbine components is elevated off the barge and the locking system retracts to release the barge

4. The tower, nacelle and blades are assembled using the standard method. The method would make the vessel Jones

Act compliant, which is a kind of insurance for the next term of US presidency, when the next president might not be so averse to offshore wind farms.

All main engines, Maersk Supply Service says, are Tier III compliant and can run on biofuels. The vessel has a lifting height of 180 metres above deck, and is designed to install the next size of wind turbine, some 20MW, and generators. The 145m x 83m vessel has accommodation for 100 persons in single cabins.

The company structure is fairly complicated, with A. P. Møller Holding buying Maersk Supply Service from A. P. Møller-Maersk two years ago, making the Maersk Supply Service effectively a sister company of Maersk Offshore Wind.

OFFSHORE WIND AND BEYOND: LAUNCH OF A POWERHOUSE

UK-based Tor Group has unveiled a ground-breaking multi-role support vessel designed for more than just offshore wind, blending advanced hybrid technology with ship-shaped design and modular construction, writes Peter Barker

Tor Group is expanding its fleet of workboats for the UK market and while it has a particular eye on the burgeoning offshore wind industry, this latest iteration offers a platform for other sectors.

Aside from the heavy-lift construction requirements, servicing the needs of the offshore wind sector, from commissioning through to longer-term operations and maintenance phases, demands a range of specialist vessels – for example craft that fall into the workboat category, or those designed purely as crew transfer vessels to ferry technicians to the site.

This is a long-term requirement once the wind farm is commissioned.

While Tor Group’s new-build vessel Tor Boreas falls into the former category, it also offers a platform that can support multiple sectors including similar offshore energy and marine civil engineering projects.

Building such a vessel from scratch, but based on similar designs, also presents the opportunity to develop a vessel that incorporates the latest technology hybrid propulsion technology.

Designed by Macduff Ship Design for Tor Boreas, the vessel was built by Tor Group’s own shipyard in Turkey and is described as a ‘new class of vessel, and a new way of building’, using modular assembly to enable more time off the slipway in a purpose-built facility.

Ship-shape

The ubiquitous pontoon-shaped workboat with offset wheelhouse/accommodation has become the standard workhorse, fulfilling many roles in the marine support sector, but in Tor Boreas Tor Group has opted for a conventional shipshaped design, offering protection for the aft work deck.

This in turn potentially improves sea-keeping capabilities, particularly during transit phases as wind energy projects move further offshore.

The choice of a conventional ship-shaped hull form suggests much thought has gone into the wider requirements not only with wind farms appearing in deeper waters further offshore but wider market opportunities.

Its high bow and protected working deck, along with its gyro stabilisation system, suggests it will provide a comfortable platform beyond the previously shallow water depths of the early wind farms close inshore. And while there will always be a place for shallow-draught ‘multi cat’ type workboats, it will be interesting to see how much interest this different approach attracts.

This configuration is a common choice for the aquaculture support sector and Aberdeenshire-based Macduff Ship Design has been able to bring its wide knowledge and experience of designing fishing vessels, including for the aquaculture industry, to the drawing board for Tor Boreas. Indeed, the fishing sector is stated as one area of potential interest for the design.

“It’s been a challenging build with the supply chain disturbances from Covid-19 still evident across the sector, but we are delighted with Tor Boreas,” said Kemal Torlak, Tor Group’s CEO.

“She represents both a new class of vessel for Tor Group and a new way of building, using modular assembly to enable more time off the slipway in a purpose-built facility. We see a great future both for this initial vessel and others of her class.”

While the vessel’s BV class notation includes Wind Farm Service Ship – M2 Tug, Tor Group says this multi-purpose ‘cutting edge’ utility vessel is available to support multiple industries.

Innovation

Producing vessels that tick the operational efficiency box as well as being environmentally friendly are common requirements nowadays and Tor Boreas features a dieselelectric arrangement via three MAN D2676 diesel generators, each rated 340ekW, 400V. They supply energy to VEM permanent magnet e-motors powering Schottel SRP 210FP azimuth drives with manoeuvrability enhanced by a Veth VT-9 bow thruster. Vessel speed is stated as 11kn.

The engine exhaust system ensures compliance with IMO Tier III emissions standards and the vessel has DP capability along with a four-point mooring arrangement featuring Delta Flipper anchors, providing longer term station keeping.

Below deck, Tor Boreas is divided into six compartments with crew accommodation space with two twin berth ensuite cabins.

Two new Offshore Construction Vessels (OCVs) have been ordered for Allseas to boost subsea construction, ROV support and inspection and repair and maintenance work.

The two Salt-designed vessels will be built in China by Wuchang Shipbuilding for delivery in September and December 2026.

The vessels tick the green box, with a hybrid 1,500kWh battery storage system and propulsion design for ‘future fuel flexibility’, which is methanol ready, Allseas says.

“The new vessels boost Allseas’ construction and support capacity, enabling greater deployment flexibility and freeing up existing OCVs for larger, more complex scopes of work,” says Allseas. “This investment ensures Allseas remains at the forefront of the growing offshore construction and subsea installation sectors.”

Each vessel will be 100 metres long with a 1,100m2 cargo deck and accommodation for 110 persons. They have a 150t active heavecompensated offshore crane, and hangar housing for two work-class ROVs for the subsea work.

“We recognised a clear need to optimise our vessel deployment to support an increasingly diverse and complex project portfolio,” said Dries van Strijp, Allseas’ vice

president Operations. “After carefully exploring all available options, it became clear that securing two next-generation newbuilds –fully optimised with the latest technology –was the best long-term solution to strengthen our capabilities and capture new opportunities in a growing offshore market.”

The vessel orders come after Allseas completed a UXO survey in the North Sea for the PORTHOS project, a subsea carbon capture and storage project in the Dutch North Sea. ■ Under build: Two OCVs are being built for Allseas to boost its subsea work

LARGEST MONOPILE INSTALLED BY JACK-UP IN EUROPE

The first foundation of a €4.7 billion offshore wind farm in the UK has been installed, standing 84 metres tall, more than 10 metres in diameter and 1,800 tonnes in weight

It is the first monopile of ScottishPower Renewables’ East Anglia Three wind farm, under the Iberdrola umbrella.

Iberdrola says it is the largest monopile installed to date by a jack-up vessel in Europe, and just the first of 95. Manufactured by Joint Venture Seaenergies Navantia Windar Renovables (JVNW), it was installed by the Seaway Ventus jack-up vessel, owned by Seaway 7, which is in turn part of the Subsea 7 Group.

East Anglia Three will be the biggest-ever wind farm across the whole of the Iberdrola group and the second largest in the world when it comes into operation. To visibly see it starting to take shape in the North Sea is a real milestone moment and definitely something to be proud of

“East Anglia Three will be the biggest-ever wind farm across the whole of the Iberdrola group and the second largest in the world when it comes into operation,” said ScottishPower Renewables CEO Charlie Jordan. “To visibly see it starting to take shape in the North Sea is a real milestone moment and definitely something to be proud of.”

Seaway7 is installing all of the East Anglia Three monopiles and transition pieces with Seaway Ventus, which has been fitted with a custom-built mission equipment spread that was designed, fabricated and installed in under two years to

meet the project schedule and performance requirements, Iberdrola says.

“It really is testament to the scale of engineering that can be achieved together with partners across the supply chain,” said Lloyd Duthie, Seaway7 Vice President UK, Ireland & Asia. “We look forward to progressing this significant multi-year construction project, encompassing foundation and innerarray cable installation.”

All 95 turbines are due to be in place by early 2026.

Med Marine enjoys strong 2025 start

Istanbul-based tugboat builder Med Marine has kicked off 2025 with five new contracts for clients in Greece, Spain and Italy.

The company said the deals reinforce its strategic expansion in Europe and highlight its continued focus on tailored, high-performance maritime solutions.

In January, the company signed an agreement to supply a 24-metre DRAfter 2400 series tugboat to Greece. Designed for harbour duties including towing and mooring, the vessel will deliver a minimum bollard pull of 40 tonnes and feature a conventional twin-screw propulsion system.

■ Med Marine expands its presence across Europe with five new tugboat contracts

Spain is set to receive a RAmparts 2300-W tug, a compact 23-metre workhorse engineered for flexibility in harbour

operations. The tug will deliver 50 tonnes of bollard pull and incorporate an azimuth stern drive propulsion system and dual winches.

February brought more significant developments, as Med Marine secured a contract to deliver two RAmparts 2500-W and one RAstar 3200-W series tugs to Italy. The 25-metre RAmparts units, each with 65 tonnes of bollard pull, are designed for versatile harbour work. Meanwhile, the 32-metre RAstar tug, boasting 80 tonnes of bollard pull and LNG terminal compatibility, will serve escort and terminal support roles.

ITALIAN PORT TRANSFORMATION KICKSTARTED

The Italian Port of Livorno has kickstarted major infrastructure works that will transform the western Italian port into a ‘Europe Platform’ that will accommodate the world’s mega ships.

The Piattaforma Europa is an expansion and redevelopment project that was adopted 10 years ago to allow Livorno to compete with international ports, but has only now been given the go-ahead.

It has been designed with 3km of quays, two large terminals and two million square metres of new areas.

Extensive dredging will be required – around 14.5 million m3 will have to be dredged to deepen the access channel to around 17 metres and the internal basins and docks to 16 metres.

Two new breakwaters will be built, the existing Meloria breakwater will be moved and dredged material will be reused to build them entirely out to sea, according to the North Tyrrhenian Port Network Authority, which operates Livorno and five other ports on the Tyrrhenian Sea, in the Mediterranean.

New service areas will be built with dredged material at the Darsena Europa dock and areas of the coastline will be replenished.

The North Tyrrhenian ports are vital to Italy and Mediterranean countries for both cargo and tourism, handling around 45 million tonnes and 10 million passengers a year. Livorno takes the vast majority of those goods, at around 35 million tonnes a year.

Energy island hits stumbling blocks as first caissons installed

Two massive concrete caissons have been installed in the Belgian North Sea as initial building blocks for the world’s first energy island.

The work has gone ahead despite unresolved issues with rising HVDC infrastructure prices that are likely to cause at least three years’ delay.

The blocks were transported by sea even though developers have admitted there was no sign of resolution to the issues that caused the delay.

In total there will be 23 caissons sunk 45km off Ostend, on the Belgian coast, each weighing 22,000 tons and measuring 58 metres by 28 metres. They will form the outline of the island, eventually to be filled with sand. Four tugs are needed to tow each one via the Western Scheldt and North Sea to the site, about 53 nautical miles away.

Once they arrive at the site, the caissons are connected to pre-installed anchors and positioned above a so-called foundation zone. Each is lowered with incredible precision, using advanced survey techniques, continuous monitoring and

precise tidal measurements. Once low enough, the caisson fills with water, which gives it stability, and it is protected with rock armour, filled with sand and sealed.

“Elia is carrying out this project within a legal framework but is not indifferent to growing concerns about the increased cost of HVDC technology,” say project leaders. “Meanwhile, the construction of the artificial island (foundations) and the implementation of the already-signed alternating current (HVAC) contracts remain on track. This ensures the realisation of two (700MW + 1400MW) of the three future offshore wind farms. Thus, 60% of the new Princess Elisabeth wind zone is

already being implemented.”

However, a third 1,400MW wind farm needs two HVDC converters that will be needed to develop a hybrid interconnector for the UK, and this is where the problems like.

“The international tender that Elia has set up for these direct current components shows an overheated supply chain with significant price increases,” a statement said. “Although the terms from the supplier involved are comparable to those of other European grid operators, they are - despite our efforts - much higher than our initial estimates.”

The Princess Elisabeth island was due to be completed in 2028 to form an electricity hub to connect North Sea offshore wind generation to electricity grids.

“Elia is carrying out the project within a legal framework but remains attentive to growing concerns over rising costs,” said a spokesman. “This delay is not without consequences but gives time to evaluate the current design against alternative concepts in a changing market context.”

A spokesman told Maritime Journal there had been no movement on the contracts.

Belgian marine contractor DEME has won the dredging and coastal defence contract for the works as part of a joint venture that also includes Fincantieri and Societa Italiana Dragaggi.

Despite years of controversy, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s ‘crazy project’ to dig a 45km canal parallel to the Bosphorous remains on Turkey’s long-term agenda.

Reuters news agency quoted the Transport and Infrastructure Minister, Abdulkadir Uraloglu, as saying that although the Kanal Istanbul project was not on the day’s agenda, ‘when the day comes, the right financing is found, we will definitely do it’.

President Erdogan first mooted the idea in around 2011 as a solution to the increasing number of delays experienced by ships transiting the Straits of Bosphorous, the only link between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara.

But it would involve digging through villages and farmland, potentially destroying ecosystems and archaeological sites, and the eye-watering cost – somewhere between $15 billion and $20 billion – has raised questions about its economic viability.

After years of discussions on the best route for the 400m wide waterway, which saw at least four proposals for alternatives, the chosen route runs through the Kucukcekmece Lake to the Durusu region on the outskirts of the city, and it would be a sea-level canal with no locks.

Specifications published in 2021 show a

TURKEY COMMITS TO CONTROVERSIAL CANAL PROJECT

depth of 25 metres and a width of between 250 and 1,000 metres. New islands would be created in the Sea of Marmara with spoil removed from the canal bed.

Breakwaters would have to be installed at both ends to protect the entrances, and up to five high-level bridges would be included, along with canal bank development to make the waterway a major logistics hub serving the Black Sea.

The Turkish website Turkish Minute has just published what it says are the results of a

survey by an agency affiliated with the Istanbul Municipality.

More than three quarters of Istanbul residents oppose the controversial Kanal Istanbul project,” it says. “According to the Istanbul Planning Agency, 77.2 per cent of respondents said they do not support the project, which critics warn would cause severe environmental damage and increase earthquake risks,” it says.

CARBON CAPTURE EXPANDS WITH €665m INVESTMENT

A Final Investment Decision has been made to expand the Northern Lights carbon capture and storage site in Norway

Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies have signed a commercial agreement with Stockholm Exergi, which will transport and store up to 900,000 tonnes of CO2 every year for 15 years.

It already has a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year, and this will increase to 5 million a year.

The joint venture – known as Northern Lights – has put up NOK7.5 billion (€665 million), which includes €131 million from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), to expand the capacity on the Norwegian continental shelf.

The 3.5 million extra tonnes will be accommodated with phase two builds on and offshore, and will include additional storage tanks, a new jetty and new injection wells.

The second phase is expected to be completed and ready to take carbon dioxide in the second half of 2028.

“I am very pleased that the partners in Northern Lights have progressed to the second phase of the Northern Lights project,” said Irene Rummelhoff, executive vice president for Marketing, Midstream and Processing in Equinor. “As the recently published European Clean Industrial Deal makes clear, largescale carbon capture, transport and storage will be crucial in the energy transition as it offers a solution for hard-to-abate industrial emitters to decarbonize their processes.”

The process of storing the gas involves a 100km pipeline which takes the gas to a saline reservoir 2.6m under the seabed for permanent storage, which will regularly be monitored, the project leaders say.

The CO2 is injected as a liquid into a sandstone reservoir saturated with salt water and trapped in rock pores, where it dissolves in the water and mineralises over time.

Injected CO2 migrates and accumulates below the

caprock while reservoir pressure is increasing. Pressure build-up and CO2 migration are constantly monitored and the gas cannot leak out of the rocks, even at higher pressures, given the 2.6 km of rocks above it.

“That we are now able to progress the Northern Lights’ project second phase on a commercial basis demonstrates the value of public-private partnerships to reduce risk and attract customers,” said Equinor CEO Anders Opedal.

Modular cable repair for offshore wind cables

DOF has launched a first-of-its-kind modular cable repair system tailored for the offshore wind sector, offering rapid deployment across its 65-vessel marine construction fleet.

Developed in partnership with Royal IHC, the modular spread is transportable by road and can be mobilised in under 48 hourshelping dramatically reducing downtime from subsea cable faults.

“This is a genuine step change in how the industry can respond to cable fault downtime,” said Dag Raymond Rasch, executive vice president DOF Atlantic.

“Our investment reflects DOF’s ability to rapidly address clients’ needs. We’re not just adapting oil and gas equipment – this system has been purpose-built for offshore wind, with flexibility, efficiency and uptime at its core.”

■ Developed in partnership with Royal IHC, the modular spread is transportable by road and can be mobilised in under 48 hours - helping dramatically reducing downtime from subsea cable faults

Plug-and-play

DOF’s repair system includes key components such as a quadrant handler, tensioner and roller tables, all engineered for plug-and-play use. Its compact design

ensures minimal deck space usage while maintaining full cable integrity throughout all marine operations.

This investment follows the successful completion of a high-profile subsea cable repair project for a major operator in the Netherlands in 2024, where DOF deployed its owned vessels and existing repair spread to restore service with minimal interruption.

Mr Rasch added: “By owning both the vessels and the modular repair spread, DOF offers clients a level of control and responsiveness that’s otherwise difficult to achieve.”

With multiple frame agreements already secured across Europe, the US and APAC, DOF’s new system marks a significant leap forward for the marine renewables market and cable repair responsiveness.

Dutch wind turbine foundation technology firm GBM Works says it has developed a silent method of installing offshore wind turbine foundations, virtually eliminating noise pollution.

GBM Works, based in Amsterdam, has come up with ‘Vibrojet’, a technology that uses vibrations and water jets instead of traditional piling methods to install the ever-increasing foundations of offshore wind turbines.

First large-scale tests, SIMOX and SIMPLE III, are under way, and lead Operations engineer Siemen Dasselaar, who has a background in dredging vessels and deep-sea ming, says the SIMPLE III one is undergoing final tests before commercial application.

“With a 55-metre test pile, we’re now truly going deep,” he said. “Instead of hammering piles into the seabed, we use water and vertical vibrations. By creating a fluid mixture inside the monopile, we work with fluid resistance rather than soil resistance. By adding vertical vibrations, we can install the pile more efficiently and quietly.”

Bubble curtains – a conventional method of reducing subsea noise – are no longer needed, Dasselaar says.

GBM Works is collaborating with MSAService and their data acquisition platform,

DUTCH FIRM REVEALS VIBRATION TECHNOLOGY FOR SILENT PILE DRIVING

Multiped, on the projects, with the data being used to work out how monopiles behave under different lateral loads and whether those being installed in this way can last as long as hammered monopiles.

“In such an innovative project, everything depends, amongst others, on accurate and reliable data,” Dasselaar says. “We work with a

wide range of sensors, such as highfrequency accelerometers, pressure-, flow-, strain sensors.”

“We’re not just looking at the installation process,” Dasselaar says. “We’re also studying how the piles behave under different lateral loads to determine whether monopiles installed with this technology can last for decades.”

GOVERNMENT APPROVES £10m FOR PORT OF NIGG

The Port of Nigg in Scotland will get up to £10 million (€11.9 million) in government funding to build a new heavy-duty quay capable of handling RoRo trade

Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) has approved the funding, which will support the development of the port’s Inner East Quay, increasing capacity and capabilities at the port and attracting new investment.

The Port of Nigg in Scotland is to receive up to £10 million to develop its Inner East Quay.

“Since acquiring Nigg in 2011, we have invested more than £120 million (€142.6 million) in transforming the facility into a world-class offshore wind super hub, ensuring it remains at the forefront of the energy transition,” said Roy MacGregor, chair of Global Energy Group, which owns and manages the port.

Strategically positioned to support Scotland’s future offshore wind projects through ScotWind and INTOG, Nigg will drive sustainable job creation and long-term economic prosperity for the Highlands

“Strategically positioned to support Scotland’s future offshore wind projects through ScotWind and INTOG, Nigg will drive sustainable job creation and long-term economic prosperity for the Highlands.”

HIE’s investment forms part of the Scottish government’s commitment to invest up to £500 million over five years to develop the nation’s offshore wind supply chain.

The Port of Nigg, on Scotland’s east coast, is seen by developers as a prime location for manufacturing and assembly of offshore wind components. It has a significant track record within Scotland’s offshore wind industry, having managed more than 3.5GW of assets through the facility.

In 2024, high-voltage cable manufacturer Sumitomo Electric Power Cables chose established a £350 million (€416 million) high-voltage cable manufacturing facility in the area - with Nigg serving as the primarily export facility.11.

UK Docks expands with Smith’s Dockyards revival

The former Smith’s Dockyards on Teesside UK is back in full operation thanks to UK Docks Marine Services doubling its drydock capacity and expanding its vessel repair capabilities.

UK Docks, based in South Shields, has secured a long-term lease for the two remaining dry docks at the historic site, completing its full acquisition of the former Smith’s Dockyards.

“We are delighted to have taken over the site and look forward to redeveloping it into a fully functional facility once again,” said Jonathan Wilson, managing director of UK Docks.

“This investment will help us modernise operations and better serve our customers.”

Multi-million infrastructure upgrade

This expansion trebles the company’s geographic footprint on Teesside and

strengthens its position in the marine civils sector.

It’s a deal which follows extensive negotiations with PD Ports and will see a multi-million-pound investment in infrastructure upgrade going forward.

The newly acquired site, covering ten acres, includes two additional dry docks,

fabrication facilities, laydown areas and extensive workshop space.

UK Docks, already the UK’s largest independent, family-owned ship repair company, will now be able to tender for a broader range of vessels, including offshore support vessels, dredgers and tankers.

The expansion also aligns with Teesside’s growing reputation as a hub for offshore wind and maritime industries.

“Teesside is set up for supporting the offshore wind industry and offshore support vessels, dredgers, survey vessels and tankers. We can be a service centre supporting that huge and growing industry all across the North Sea and beyond,” said Mr Wilson.

He added that as well as attracting new customers, nationally and internationally, the new docks will benefit existing customers because having four docks means additional dry dock space for customers when needed.

Associated British Ports (ABP) has begun the planning process for the country’s largest floating solar project at the Port of Barrow in north-west England.

The Barrow EnergyDock project will see a floating solar array installed at Cavendish Dock with a generating capacity of up to 40MWp, enough to power around 14,000 homes annually.

This initiative is primarily to support Barrow’s advanced engineering sector by providing renewable energy at a more stable and affordable cost.

“We’re excited to see the planning application submitted for Barrow EnergyDock, and to see the first element of ABP’s Port of Barrow Masterplan start to take shape,” said Bryan Davies, divisional port manager (Northwest and Scotland), ABP.

“ABP’s team worked with the local Barrow team to design a masterplan focused on driving growth and strengthening the local economy in response to the significant investment coming to the region over the next ten to twenty years.”

The solar panels will be mounted on floating pontoons, anchored securely to the dock’s bottom, covering about one-third of the available water area with approximately 47,000

The Port of Barcelona has awarded a €72,359,045.87 contract for the construction of the embankment for the new Catalunya wharf to the joint venture Sacyr Construcción – José Antonio Romero Polo.

The works, which are scheduled to take 27 months, will involve building a sea embankment that will serve as the first enclosure for depositing materials from the dredging of the port’s docks, the navigation channel and other ongoing projects, including the Adossat wharf and the new mooring points at the Energy wharf.

Future proofing

This embankment will delineate an area of 44.7 hectares between the South and Prat wharves and will reach depths of up to 16 metres.

It will accommodate nearly 6.3 million m3 of materials, allowing the development of the future Catalunya wharf’s terraces.

Additionally, the project includes preparations for a terrace for storing and managing construction materials, reflecting a commitment to circular economy practices by recycling materials and minimising the need for transportation to external locations.

The embankment construction is the first step in a broader reorganisation of port

The initiative is aimed at providing the Port of Barcelona with infrastructure to decarbonise port operations and meet the growing needs of the maritime and port sector.

The tender for this project was launched in

2024 after receiving approval from the Ministry for Ecological Transition. Work is set to begin this summer.

The UK’s largest pumped hydro plant to date has been given the go-ahead in the Scottish Central Highlands.

The Earba Pumped Storage Hydro (PSH) project has been given planning consent by the Scottish government, and now ‘the real work begins’, says Gilkes Energy, the company that will bring the project to life.

It will work with an upper reservoir, Loch Leamhain, releasing water down a hill and through turbines into the lower reservoir, Lock Earba, in times of national demand.

The turbines will generate the electricity when needed, and in times of little demand, pumps powered by a wind turbine will send water back to the upper reservoir, where it will be stored until needed.

A 3km tunnel will connect the two bodies of water, and dams will be built around the edges of Lock Leamhain so that it can store more water – and thus, more energy.

As well as the natural geographical benefits, the National Grid transmission network is also near the site, with existing road access, says Gilkes Energy.

Construction has been estimated at five years.

Power capacity has been estimated at 1.8GW and stored energy up to 40,000MWh.

DENMARK SETS ITSELF AT FOREFRONT OF CCS

Denmark is positioning itself at the forefront of CO2 capture and storage (CCS), with applications invited for licences to explore coastal areas for the purpose.

It is the fourth licensing round for the geological storage of carbon dioxide opened by the Danish Energy Agency, which will award licences on condition the applicant has the necessary knowhow and will work in partnership with the government agency Nordsøfonden, which will have a share of 20%.

Rights to exploration will last for six years, and if proposed work is completed ‘satisfactorily’, the licensee will be able to extend the licence and carry out the storage operations for a further 30 years. Onshore tenders are also being offered.

Of three licences granted for offshore CCS, two are owned by TotalEnergies and are still in the investigation and exploration stages, ‘in different phases of maturity’, said Henrik Sulsbrück, Head of Division, CCS with the Danish Energy Agency.

“The other project, Project Greensand, is slightly different,” he said.

Project Greensand

Developing Project Greensand is INEOS, the global chemical giant headed up by the British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, who part owns Premier League football club Manchester United, in partnership with Harbour Energy and Nordsøfonden.

“This is a former oil and gas field, so they have a lot of knowledge,” said Sulsbrück. “They have applied for a storage licence for the first phase, which would store CO2 a few thousand metres below the seabed in a reservoir that has slightly green-coloured sand.”

With CCS, most of it is done to carry out Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) operations, according to Greensand, which cites the Global Status of CCS 2024 report as tracking 628 CCS projects around the world – only 16 of which are for dedicated storage and not for EOR.

Seven non-EOR projects, it says, are in construction in the EU, and scheduled to be operational later in 2026, which makes the Greensand storage site the first dedicated site in the EU with operations beginning at the end of this year.

CCS potential for Denmark

“CO2 capture and storage is part of Denmark’s green transition,” said Sulsbrück. “Denmark has an ambition to be a European hub for it, but as yet there is no direct governmental financial support for it – there is no business case for it yet.

“At the moment, Denmark is funding or has tenders for CCS in Denmark to get emissions down, but it’s up to the market to ask where to store it. If you are an emitter you have to hook up with someone who can transport and store it. Currently there are few storage options, ie Greensand, or Northern Lights in Norway (which is ready but not yet storing any CO2).”

More options are needed, and this is why the offshore licences, as well as three onshore licences, have been issued.

“CCS will be important for some industry,” said Sulsbrück. “Some places we can electrify, so it won’t be needed, but some places, like thermal power plants and cement factories, you cannot operate without emitting CO2, so that’s where the need will be.”

Potential ‘from a Danish perspective’ Danish economics consultancy the Kraka Advisory rates Denmark as second only to Norway in terms of CO2 storage capacity in Europe, with enough for more than 900 years, including onshore.

They have applied for a storage licence for the first phase, which would store CO2 a few thousand metres below the seabed in a reservoir that has slightly green-coloured sand

Because emissions will drop in Denmark so that storage will become less necessary for Danish firms, it means the facilities could be used by countries where they have little space to store it themselves, such as in Finland or Estonia, it says.

“Primarily, a new CCS sector will emerge, which will require jobs involving the capture, transport and storage of CO2,” the Kraka Advisory says. “It will generate employment in sectors involving the assembly and maintenance of capture plants and laying pipelines, or create jobs for dockers and crew members on ships transporting CO2.

“Lastly, storage will involve many of the same workplaces on platforms, as seen in the oil industry. Other sectors will also be affected, such as those supplying materials for the CCS industry and helping assemble the relevant installations. For example, the construction of pipelines will require building materials, which means that building material suppliers will also take on more staff.”

A consortium including the Dutch water board has reported flood defence and marine biodiversity success two years after a reef scheme was installed in Rotterdam’s most important shipping lane.

The Rijkswaterstaat, or Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, has reported results of the ‘Rotterdam reef’ scheme, which involved 17 reef blocks being installed in the Nieuwe Waterweg near Rozenburg, the main access route to the Port of Rotterdam.

Fears over bank erosion caused by the waves of the giant ships that come and go from one of Europe’s busiest ports led to the project, which is being seen as a pilot test for nature-based wave barriers that could act as flood defences as well as enhance marine growth.

Enter Dutch start-up ‘Reefy’, which designed 17 reef blocks three metres in length and weighing six tons each.

Designed to withstand the heavy wave loads coming from large ships, they proved their worth in July 2023, when they stood up to Storm Poly and remained stable, according to the Rijkswaterstaat. Reducing the wave action has also helped to silt up the reef, whcih is also good for coastal protection and erosion prevention, the Rijkswaterstaat says.

DUTCH HAIL SUCCESS OF TWO-YEAR REEF BLOCK SCHEME

When it comes to marine life, project leaders estimate the blocks were three times as biodiverse as normal concrete, with tunnels, shaded passages and rough surfaces creating the sort of ecosystem in which marine animals can flourish. One of the parties installing the blocks was Boskalis.

“Boskalis chose to work with Reefy in the Rotterdam Reef project as we see value in its double function as environmental breakwater that can both withstand waves and provides habitat for marine life,” said Sander Steenbrink, general manager Research and Development

with the Dutch dredging and marine engineering firm.

“The Reefy living breakwater has been tested in our experimental facilities, showing stability and wave attenuation under hurricane conditions,” said Marcel van Gent- Full professor of Coastal Structures (TU Delft), Editor-in-Chief Coastal Engineering (Elsevier). “We see their potential in the field and are looking forward to future collaboration.”

Boskalis subsea rock installation vessel Rockpiper has just finished installing 95 rock berms to serve as scour protection off offshore wind turbines that are due to be installed offshore East Anglia, UK.

The project was made more difficult because each rock berm was different, Boskalis says, adding a layer of complication to an already tricky task. The installation had to be done in 13 trips from quarries in Norway to the offshore wind farm and back, installing in total 287,500 tons of rock over 114 days.

Iberdrola subsidiary Scottish Renewables owns the wind farm which, when switched on, will have a power generation capacity of up to 1.4GW. The scour protection has been installed to protect the foundations of up to 100 wind turbines at the site, as well as an offshore converter station.

Latest rock installation vessel

As Rockpiper completed its task, Boskalis announced the acquisition of another subsea rock installation (SRI) vessel with a cargo capacity of 45,500 tonnes.

Windpiper, it says, will be the largest SRI vessel on the market at 227m long and 40m in breadth.

As well as a moonpool, the vessel has an

inclined fall pipe, which is crucial for the protection of offshore structures such as the foundations of offshore wind turbines.

”Equipped with seven thrusters and DP2 certification, Windpiper is specifically designed for optimal performance in challenging

offshore conditions,” Boskalis says. Windpiper is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2026, with first projects expected to be in Northwest Europe.

The Consortium Mekante Diek (Ploegam, Van Oord, Dura Vermeer) is proving the value of electric equipment during a dyke reinforcement project commissioned by Rivierenland Water Board.

It is the first large-scale construction project in the Netherlands to be completed using almost entirely electric equipment and is helping prove that large-scale sustainable construction is feasible without compromising on time or efficiency.

”During the tender, Mekante Diek met our goals and ambition in an appealing way with maximum commitment to zero emission implementation,” said Peter Lobbezoo, HWBP programme manager at Rivierenland Water Board. ”This exceeded our expectations. Demonstrating entrepreneurship in deploying zero emission equipment on this project has helped accelerate the transition to zeroemission construction.”

Sustainable impact

Rivierenland Water Board challenged the market with the 2020 tender to achieve the greatest possible emission reduction which was won by Mekante Diek. Implementation of the Tiel-Waardenburg dyke reinforcement started in 2023. The project is using 40 largely

emission-free machines, including trucks, tractors, cranes, asphalt sets and piling rigs, with mostly interchangeable, rechargeable battery packs. It has also created WattHub, Europe’s first XL fast charging plaza, developed in partnership with Betuwewind. The charging plaza is powered by renewable electricity, specifically designed for trucks and heavy equipment and is accessible to all. Mekante Diek commissioned TNO to study the efficiency and sustainability impact of the whole

project where zero-emission equipment has been compared with conventional diesel equipment in various age categories.

The results underline that large-scale emission-free construction is possible. The project saves over 1,190 tonnes of CO₂ and 3,260 kg of nitrogen (NOx) per year, equivalent to what 59,500 trees can absorb in a year. 100% green electricity is used to charge the equipment, 90% of which comes directly from wind turbines, preventing grid congestion.

TNO’s research shows that great strides have been made, but there is still room for improvement. For example, in charging schedules and energy consumption.

The Tiel-Waardenburg dyke reinforcement is part of the national Flood Protection Programme (HWBP), the largest dyke reinforcement operation since the Delta Works.

Waal dyke between Tiel and Waardenburg will be raised, widened and fitted with more than nine kilometres of sheet piling over a distance of about twenty kilometres.

Completion is expected in 2027.

CALL FOR ACTION IN SPAIN’S OFFSHORE WIND SECTOR

It’s time for Spain to get afloat, says Juan de Dios Lopez, Technical and Industrial director with the Wind Energy Business Association (Asociación Empresarial Eólica - AEE)

Speaking on the sidelines of the World Maritime Week (WMW) event in Bilbao about the current landscape, Juan de Dios Lopez made a bold call for Spain to embrace the full potential of wind energy.

“We can’t stay idle any more,” he said. “We have the potential resources, knowledge, and technology. What we do need is support from the government – not just with money but with legal security and regulations.”

Harnessing offshore wind potential

Despite having a robust industrial base and significant technological expertise, Spain has yet to install a single megawatt of offshore wind capacity – and this is because its deep waters make fixed-bottom wind turbines a technical and financial impossibility. But floating wind and tidal technologies, as the conference heard time and again, had huge potential.

“We don’t have a single MW of offshore wind, but we have significant shipyards,” he said. “Just 50 metres from the coastline, you get 50 metres of depth – we’ve got the building blocks. Now is the time to set things in motion.”

The Canary Islands, according to Lopez, are particularly well suited as a testing ground for floating offshore wind.

“Most of the energy there comes from burning diesel – so anything we can do with renewables is better than doing nothing,” he said.

With diesel prices hovering around €250–280/MWh, offshore wind could provide a much-needed alternative. However, he acknowledges the need for balance.

The China challenge

Lopez also warned against China’s growing influence in renewable infrastructure manufacturing, and that if the size of turbines is going to continue along its physical growth trajectory, Europe might have no option but to source its turbines from China.

“China manufactures against critical infrastructure,” he said. “if Europe wants to grow too fast in installations, then the local supply chain may not be able to cope with it and China does have huge supply capacity. My advice is to insist on a planned sustainable installation that can make good use of the European industries’ capacity and also adapt the supply chain accordingly to cover the transient periods.

“Spain has an industrial base. We think that it’s important that when you have been developing this knowledge you have to keep control of that knowledge. The wind industry in general is probably the only renewables industry in which Europe still has some control of the technology. If we don’t have control of the technology with our own factories, we lose control.”

He pointed to trade policies that are stifling European competitiveness, citing NZIA (Net Zero Indusrty Act) and CBAM regulations.

“Producing aluminium in Europe means you have to pay, but you can import scrap aluminium from China with zero tax,” he said. “China is sticking to their plan as a country. This is the right way for them. We are penalising our own market.”

Other challenges

The importance of coexistence with other industries, particularly fishing and tourism, was also raised at WMW.

“We need to consider every other use of the sea,” said Lopez. “For tourism, there are two sides. On the one hand, it ruins the landscape; on the other, tourists want to go out to see them. It could become a tourist attraction.”

Biodiversity, he said, is another area that requires careful consideration.

“You don’t know the actual effect until something is in place,” he said. “We don’t have enough data to foresee any reaction; we have to learn from it.”

Lopez also stressed the importance of maintaining the industry over time, and not just grow for the sake of it.

“We need to focus on the technical development and knowledge and investigations,” he said. “Make sure that the development is sustainable. It’s got to have a target but how are we going to reach it so the industry can keep up and survive?

“It’s all well and good to build a wind farm, but it has to be serviced and maintained. You need an ancillary industry to keep it going, the right people, a base that can survive and persevere when the transitional period comes to an end.”

Spain, believes Lopez, is at a pivotal moment.

“We have a regulatory skeleton to build upon, but we could be more ambitious,” he said. “We have major facilities that allow us to test. There are 50 prototype patents in the world, and Spain holds 14 of them.”

With the right investments, collaboration, and regulatory support, he believes Spain can become a leader in offshore wind. It’s time for Spain to ‘get afloat’ and seize the opportunities that wind energy presents.

Ørsted’s new CEO has called on Europe to install 10GW of offshore wind each year –but panellists at the WindEurope event in Copenhagen voiced concerns over a range of concerns that will not make this an easy feat.

Rasmus Errboe also said it would not be achieved without predictability and stability –two words that were used often in front of a packed audience listening to the first session on what WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson called the day dedicated to offshore wind.

At the same time saying a ’new Offshore Wind Deal for Europe’ had been launched, various panellists across the three-day event called for the pace of development to speed up, but more predictability and stability to be implemented at the same time.

“The world is completely changing and predictability is not a small ask,” said Errboe, who replaced former Ørsted CEO Mads Nipper just over two months ago.

He said the European offshore wind industry had to pull together ‘with one voice’, and that to hit his proposed target of 10GW a year, industry had to continue with the same Contracts for Difference model, and ‘keep calm’.

“There’s a massive opportunity but only if we cooperate in a different way across regions,” he said. “We need a new offshore

“Targets are not projects,” said Vestas Chief Technical Officer Anders Nielsen. “It starts with the politicians, then the developers, then the OEMs. If we don’t have predictability, building the factories doesn’t happen. Vision doesn’t build a wind farm. We need a plan.”

Nielsen raised concerns about Errboe’s

Crewboats and Crew transfer vessels

10GW per year target.

“That’s roughly 10 projects,” he said. “If one project slips, 10 per cent of the market slips, 10 per cent of the factories. We have to have a plan where things don’t slip and there is collaboration between everyone.”

Costs and supply chains

Scaling up offshore wind has not so far proven cheap for taxpayers, and it is not likely to prove so in the foreseeable future.

“We have to convince the people that are voting that they are willing to pay for it,” said Lars Aagaard, Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities for the Danish government.

Energy costs are much higher in Europe than the US and China, and no industry has ever thrived on high energy costs. Fears were raised about a lack of incentives reducing demand from industry, and governments – in other words, taxpayers – were called on to step up.

“There is a shift in the balance,” said Aagaard. “If the political side does not take on any of the risks we will not move forward."

HEADWINDS AND TAILWINDS IN OFFSHORE WIND: REPORT

The global offshore wind sector experienced a year of mixed outcomes in 2024, as rapid innovation, shifting market dynamics and policy reforms shaped the sector

But while global offshore wind additions fell significantly from the previous year, the long-term outlook remains bullish, with annual growth forecast of 8.8% to 2030, according to a Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) report.

Where onshore wind continued to soar, reaching 109GW in new installations, up from 105GW in 2023, new offshore capacity fell to 8GW from 11GW in 2022, a 26% drop and the lowest since 2021. However, total global offshore wind capacity reached 83.2GW by the end of 2024.

China maintained its dominance, adding 4GW of offshore for the seventh consecutive year. Europe followed with 2.7GW of new installations across four markets, the UK leading the continent with 1.2GW, Germany bringing 730MW of offshore wind online and France commissioning 658MW.

Economic turbulence

Even without the Donald Trump administration’s aversion to offshore wind, the industry faced significant headwinds in 2024 in the US, where a combination of inflation, rising capital costs, permitting delays, and grid challenges led to project cancellations and renegotiations. This was also true of Europe.

The Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) for US offshore wind rose by 50% from 2021 to 2023, causing financial strain and eroding investor confidence.

The long development timelines and complex financial requirements of offshore wind projects, typically requiring two to three years to reach final investment decisions after contract awards, exacerbated vulnerabilities.

Developers, constrained by rigid auction mechanisms and lack of safeguards against market volatility, often bore the brunt of fluctuating costs in commodities, labour and logistics.

In the US, misinformation further fuelled public scepticism, the report says. Claims linking offshore wind developments to whale strandings along the east coast gained traction. Experts cite vessel strikes and fishing gear entanglement as more plausible causes, but public opinion has been slow to align with the facts, the report says.

Innovation, scaling up and auctions

Technology continues to drive the industry forward, especially offshore. Chinese manufacturers like Dongfang Electric, Goldwind and Mingyang introduced turbines with capacities exceeding 20MW. Goldwind’s deep-sea 22MW turbine, featuring a 300-metre rotor, exemplifies the upscaling trend.

Yet the report says this surge in innovation brings growing pains: many turbine design standards are now outdated, unable to accommodate the stresses of ultra-large turbines; and blade fractures, vortex-induced vibrations and hybrid tower instability have emerged as pressing engineering challenges.

Despite economic turbulence and fewer installations, offshore wind did see a record year for auctions.

In 2024, 56.3W of offshore capacity was awarded globally, 38.9GW of it via auctions outside China.

Germany and the Netherlands led with 8GW and 4GW through aggressive negative bidding strategies, while the UK

and France opted for contracts-for-difference (CfDs).

Countries like Poland and Australia emerged as case studies in effective policy making, the report says. Poland’s 2020 Offshore Wind Act and its National Reconstruction Plan facilitated a surge in investment by offering flexible incentives for local supply chains and port infrastructure.

Australia, meanwhile, finalised six offshore wind area declarations and awarded multiple feasibility licenses.

The UK: Renewed momentum

Following a new government in mid-2024, the UK reinforced its commitment to wind energy, setting ambitious targets of 50GW offshore and 30GW onshore capacity by 2030.

Wind energy outpaced gas in 2024 for the first time, supplying 30% of the nation’s electricity. The National Energy System Operator’s new grid connection reforms and policy changes are expected to unlock up to £15 billion (€17.5 billion) in offshore wind investments.

Thirteen UK offshore wind projects are already eligible to bid in the 2025 allocation round, totalling 7.3GW in capacity – two years after a bidding round that did not attract a single bid.

The UK’s proactive regulatory environment and commitment to international partnerships, such as the formation of a Global Clean Power Alliance, position it as a global leader in clean energy.

Floating wind and future growth

Floating wind continues to gain traction, with 1.9GW awarded globally in 2024.

Projects in France, South Korea, and the UK highlight growing confidence in this nascent technology. Experts believe floating wind and emerging power-to-X solutions could unlock previously inaccessible offshore resources and drive the next phase of growth.

The first foundation has been installed at Denmark’s largest offshore windfarm, marking a key milestone in the Thor project’s offshore renewables journey.

Offshore contractor Jan De Nul has successfully completed the windfarm installation of the first of 72 monopile foundations for RWE’s Thor offshore windfarm.

Installed by the heavy-lift vessel Les Alizés, the foundation marks the official start of offshore construction for a project that will generate over 1 GW of renewable energy, enough to power more than one million Danish homes.

“Our Thor offshore windfarm – currently under construction – will be Denmark’s largest to date,” said Günther Fenle, project director for Thor at RWE.

“The successful installation of the first monopile marks a significant milestone, achieved through the collaborative efforts of everyone involved.”

Subsea installation

Located 22 kilometres off the west coast of Jutland, the subsea installation process involves extensive coordination.

Jan De Nul’s scope includes not only monopile and scour protection installation but

also the laying of inter-array and export cables connecting the offshore and onshore substations.

“RWE’s Thor offshore wind farm is one of the key projects of 2025 for Jan De Nul,” said Philippe Hutse, CEO Offshore Energy, Jan De Nul.

“This is yet another big step in building the energy transition and we execute multiple

scopes of work: from installing inter-array and export cables, over scour protection to monopile foundations.”

The final monopile installation is expected to conclude by the end of 2025.

Belgian marine civils giant DEME has set itself firmly at the forefront of offshore wind with a €900 million take-over of the offshore wind contractor Havfram.

Havfram Holdco, which is based in Oslo, focuses on providing transport and installation services to the offshore wind sector, and is currently building two Wind Turbine Installation Vessels (WTIVs).

Notoriously in short supply, these WTIVs have already been contracted out for the second half of next year, DEME says.

“Havfram has an order book amounting to approximately 600 million euros, and this includes providing support for the construction of some of the world’s largest offshore wind farms for the period 20262030,” the company says.

‘Outstanding’ annual report

In DEME’s annual report for 2024, CEO Luc Vandenbulcke and Chairman Luc Bertrand in a joint letter said the year had proved to be an outstanding one for the company.

“Over the previous years we took bold

the most powerful cutter suction dredger in the world,” the letter said.

“The results of 2024 demonstrate that this multi-year fleet investment program has paid off.”

The company also made boosted the capability of its cable layer Viking Neptun with a second carousel, and added the largest fallpipe vessel in the world, Yellowstone, and survey vessel Karina to its fleet.

DEME says its offshore energy segment has made ground outside Europe with projects in the US and Asia, and has literally broken ground on new concepts for monopile foundation installations, drilling directly into rock at one French offshore wind farm for the first time –

SAFE OFFSHORE MARINE OPERATIONS

OPITO’s Safe O shore Marine Operations (SOMO) standard is designed to enhance safety, awareness, and competency in o shore safety zones. Developed to mitigate avoidable collisions within these exclusion areas, it provides a structured framework for ensuring safe marine operations across the energy sector.

Contracts have been signed to get what the Lithuanian Port of Klaipėda calls an ‘offshore wind hub’ built.

The reconstruction of Klaipėda Port, on the Smeltė peninsula on the Baltic Sea, includes three new quays with a total of 463 metres in length and a quay-side depth of 12 metres. The quays will be able to load 40 tonnes per m2

The quays will each be built to handle, assemble and store wind turbine elements in an area allowed for the installation infrastructure comprising 21 hectares.

According to the port’s head of Communication and Marketing Džiugas Šaulys, the development will open up new economic opportunities for service centres, shipbuilding and repair.

The project was kicked off in May 2022, when the Klaipėda State Seaport Authority and Klaipėda Stevedoring Company KLASCO signed an investment agreement to plan offshore wind farms.

Since then, geological surveys have been completed, a construction permit obtained and now a contract has been signed with contractor UAB Tilsta to build the quays for a contract value of €36.6 million.

Lithuania has no operating offshore wind farms yet, but it says there are plans to have

STILLSTROM ON THE BRINK OF OFFSHORE CHARGING ROLL-OUT

With the benefits of hindsight, a good question to pose is why at an electricity-generating offshore wind farm, electricity wasn’t used on site to charge the vessels carrying out operations and maintenance there. A no-brainer, you might think today.

But at the time, the idea of offshore vessel charging simply wasn’t on the radar.

“When the first offshore wind farms were built, battery technology was still in its infancy in the maritime sector,” says Stillstrom CEO Kristian Borum Jørgensen. “It was only just being introduced for limited applications like peak shavingand most wind farms were close enough to shore that vessels could return easily each day, reducing the perceived need for electrification offshore.”

Stillstrom is approaching two markets with its offshore charging solutions: offshore wind, and in anchorage zones outside ports, where thousands of vessels sit every day, idling, consuming diesel

Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) have long played a key role in offshore wind operations. What’s changed is the scale and scope of their deployment. As wind farms grow in size and move further offshore, there’s a growing emphasis on keeping SOVs stationed at sea for extended periods, sometimes days or weeks, to maximise efficiency. The larger size of these modern vessels also allows for greater battery capacity, opening the door to cleaner, electrified operations.

Stillstrom (which means “quiet power”) began as a project in a division of Maersk in 2019, with a clear mission: to explore offshore power and charging solutions aimed at decarbonising the maritime sector.

“We saw other developments within wind where offshore wind farms were getting further from shore – and we saw the number of SOVs increase,” Jørgensen says. “We could see that the wind farms were providing clean, green, cheap electricity in abundance – so we asked, why can’t you actually provide the vessel with it?”

Stillstrom’s charging systems can be provided by buoy; or as a hang-off solution mounted on fixed structures such as a monopile, a substation or directly on the wind turbine – and the electricity comes from the wind farm’s own electricity grid.

And the beauty of Stillstrom’s offshore charging is that the technology can be used elsewhere as well.

Zero Emissions Anchorage Zones

Stillstrom is approaching two markets with its offshore charging solutions: offshore wind, and in anchorage zones outside ports, where thousands of vessels sit every day, idling, consuming diesel.

“In parts of the industry, vessels are spending a lot of time just being idle, waiting for the next job or for the client to give directions,” says Jørgensen. “We saw shore power being brought into ports around the world, and more and more vessels were being converted to take on board shore power and our thinking was quite simple: Why can’t we do that offshore?

“Many vessels don’t actually spend a lot of time in port; they are often spending a lot of time outside them – so why not give them access to electricity there?”

And so, the offshore charging solution idea was born, not only at wind farms, but outside ports the size of Hamburg and Antwerp, and while not in place yet, Stillstrom is already studying the feasibility of integrating their system in the Panama Canal.

There’s a lot to be worked out: when and at which charging

It’s a big pie but we definitely see that batteries and offshore charging will take a piece of that pie. The pie is very big, so you don’t need to take half the pie to have a decent business, you only need a small piece

point the vessels can hook up, and if the shore grid has enough capacity – but Jørgensen says there is actually quite a predictable timetable, because these vessels often operate on a schedule and slots can be worked out according to their operations.

The amount of power required is a completely different ballgame from electric vehicle charging, which requires about 300kW, whereas a vessel would need up to 20 times that.

“If you look at the zero-emissions anchorage zones, it can be anywhere up to 8MW, but it can also be 1MW or below, depending on the vessel size and type: a container vessel with refrigeration, or an LNG vessel that needs to be cooled, will consume a lot more than a standard bulk carrier vessel.

“And we would look at those anchorage zones where you have some of the same vessels coming back over and over again, running on long-term contracts on more or less the same schedules. We have a good example of the anchorage outside the Port of Skagen in Denmark, where vessels are anchored for days, even weeks, until they get the call, go out and come back again.

“The technology is not new, either – what’s new is the combination of the technologies into one. Delivering power to a vessel has been done in ports for many years now, and we’re basically combining and working out the complexity of doing it offshore close to port. There are a lot of other safety aspects – such as you need to have an emergency disconnect system, etc.”

Battery charging and development

“For offshore wind the system will provide up to 8MW of power,” says Jørgensen. “It’s a significant amount and for an SOV you will probably see a battery capacity of 20-30MWh, and we need to charge the battery within four to five hours.

“We want to make it as easy as possible for the wind farm developers. The standard at a wind farm is 66kV, and our system transforms the power so it can be delivered safely to the vessel. With an SOV, you can – to put it simply - take out two gensets and put in batteries to make it an eSOV. It will run on the batteries all day and charge at night, to be ready for the following day. We are currently working closely with most larger SOV owners.

“We are seeing this change in the industry – if you go back a few years, most companies were talking about e-methanol, but now everyone’s talking about e-SOVs. It simply makes a lot more sense to use the energy in the wind farm, it’s a much better business case because when you make these new fuels you lose so much of the energy in just making them.

“If you’re able to electrify, you should electrify.”

And the cost compared to diesel?

“You actually have a business case that’s on par,” says Jørgensen. “It’s quite often cheaper, and you avoid the uncertainties of regulations and oil prices and so on. Battery technology is rapidly advancing and the cost has gone down significantly. New companies are stepping up – and where

marine batteries used to be much more expensive, prices are really coming down very steeply.”

Energy density has also improved, meaning less space is needed for the same amount of power. And they are lasting longer – up to 15 years, Jørgensen says.

Next steps

Jørgensen says Stillstrom’s technology is commercially ready, and he is having ‘concrete dialogues’ with major global wind farm developers as well as some of the busiest ports and hubs across the globe.

Standardisation is being discussed, and Stillstrom is part of a body that’s looking to make that happen across the board.

“When I look at the future, I think it will be a mix of methanol, ammonia, batteries, standard diesel, MGO and so on,” Jørgensen says. “In general, when we compare against other sort of low-emission fuels like e-methanol, for instance, to create e-methanol you need to take it through the process, and you lose more than half of the energy.

“It’s a big pie but we definitely see that batteries and offshore charging will take a piece of that pie. The pie is very big, so you don’t need to take half the pie to have a decent business, you only need a small piece.

“You will not see the largest ocean-going vessels going from Asia to Europe being converted to battery technology tomorrow, but you will have batteries as being very, very relevant and that’s also proven by a number of studies, not just by us, but by different bodies that have been looking into this.

“I’m being biased here, but we have seen huge developments in the past year or two, our organisation has invested a lot in this and this is happening, this year.”

With onshore wind a major component of Turkey’s energy production, it is now turning its attention to offshore wind.

The change of tack follows the abandonment of an early project in 2017.

With 600 members, the Turkish Wind Energy Association is a weighty one, having been set up in 1992 and comprising industry, developers, financiers, service and maintenance companies and engineers.

“We now have some offshore companies.

“In a similar approach, the Turkish wind sector and government is not targeting bringing it all within Turkey, but to have step-by-step cooperation with international parties. If it makes sense to localise and if there are the support mechanisms we will consider what is of benefit to both parties.”

He says the threat of Chinese competition is the same for Turkey as it is for Europe.

“Europe has completely left the business in Chinese hands and are now complaining that they are flooding the market with their equipment,” he says. “If it floods Europe, then it’s going to have a negative impact on Turkish industry. We are bound to Europe – the development of the Turkish wind industry has been with the help of the European wind industry and the Turkish government’s efforts to accommodate them in Turkey.”

Net profits for 2024 were just a third of 2023’s record earnings, Van Oord CEO Govert van Oord, who replaced Pieter van Oord last year after 15 years at the helm, has admitted in the company’s annual report.

“Despite an overall strong operational performance, our net result fell short of expectations,” he said. “Revenue was €2.4 billion, in line with the annual plan but lower than the €2.9 billion record turnover in 2023. Our net profit was €42.5 million compared to €127 million in 2023.”

The Offshore Energy business unit, he said, ‘had a difficult year’, in large part because of problems with the Sofia Offshore Wind project, owned by RWE, off the east coast of the UK.

However for this year, he said the Offshore Energy business unit is expected to see an increase in revenue driven by high fleet use, ‘notwithstanding unforeseen circumstances in an increasingly uncertain offshore wind market’. Dredging, on the other hand, while also slightly down, remained stable, van Oord said, with healthy orders for 2025.

Calls for standardisation

The offshore wind market, van Oord said, has faced serious challenges because of advances in technology – notably with

VAN OORD ADMITS STRUGGLES IN OFFSHORE WIND SECTOR

Chinese firms developing bigger and bigger turbines before the previous iteration even become standard.

“The value chain is calling for standardisation - specifically in turbine sizes, components and contract conditions - as it struggles to keep up with, and plan ahead for, rapid technological developments,” he said. “We join that call for standardisation and believe it will provide the long-term

perspective needed to progress the industry.”

Van Oord highlighted the extension of its heavy-lift installation vessel Svanen, which the company says can install the newest generation of monopile foundations, and the sea trials of installation vessel Boreas, which is the biggest investment in the company’s history.

Spills and work incidents

Van Oord said there had been ‘a very difficult situation’ in 2024 with dredger Vox Maxima, which allided with a bunker vessel in Singapore, leading to a large oil spill.

“The incident and subsequent oil spill was very unfortunate and has had a lot of impact,” he said. “While we are grateful that the incident did not result in any personal injuries, we acknowledge the hardships it has caused.”

Instability in the Middle East had also resulted in higher costs, van Oord said.

He also said 2024 had seen an increase in the number of work incidents, although ‘the severity of the injuries was fortunately relatively low’.

PIONEERING ZERO-EMISSION HARBOUR OPERATIONS

Noatum Maritime, part of AD Ports Group’s Maritime & Shipping Cluster, has reinforced its commitment to sustainable maritime operations by adding its first all-electric hydrofoiling pilot boat and two fully electric tug boats to its fleet

These zero-emissions vessels form a key pillar of Noatum Maritime’s broader decarbonisation strategy and will deliver immediate benefits for customers, including operational efficiency and reduced emissions and potential contributions to carbon credit programmes.

“By offering fully electric alternatives we are supporting our customers sustainability goals and potentially enabling them to leverage carbon credits,” said Captain Ammar Mubarak Al Shaiba, CEO – maritime & shipping cluster, AD Ports Group.

”In pioneering these technologies, we are reinforcing our commitment to sustainable innovation and setting new benchmarks for the industry.”

Electrification focus

The region’s first 100% electric Artemis EF-12 Pilot boat marks a significant advancement in energy-efficient pilotage for the operator.

Powered by Artemis Technologies’ cutting-edge eFoiler technology, this 12-metre vessel lifts the hull above the water’s surface, significantly reducing drag and cutting energy consumption by up to 85% while increasing speed and efficiency.

It’s a technology which not only translates into substantial fuel and maintenance cost savings but also provides customers with a high performance, zero-emission alternative that aligns with global sustainability targets.

Additionally, two Damen RSD-E tug 2513’s will drive sustainable towage operations at Khalifa Port.

Following the successful trial of the first unit, the most powerful electric tugboat, as recognised by Guinness World Records, Noatum Maritime has opted to permanently integrate the vessel into its fleet, alongside an additional unit entering service in April 2025.

These 70-tonne bollard pull tugs feature rapid charging technology, capable of completing multiple assignments on a single charge with full recharging in just two hours.

Their adoption is expected to contribute to lower port emissions while offering cost-effective high performance harbour assistance.

Allseas expands fleet with two newbuilds

Two new Offshore Construction Vessels (OCVs) have been ordered for Allseas to boost subsea construction, ROV support and inspection and repair and maintenance work.

The two Salt-designed vessels will be built in China by Wuchang Shipbuilding for delivery in September and December 2026.

The vessels tick the green box, with a hybrid 1,500kWh battery storage system and propulsion design for ‘future fuel flexibility’, which is methanol ready, Allseas says.

“The new vessels boost Allseas’ construction and support capacity, enabling greater deployment flexibility and freeing up existing OCVs for larger, more complex scopes of work,” says Allseas. “This investment ensures Allseas remains at the forefront of the growing offshore construction and subsea installation sectors.”

■

Each vessel will be 100 metres long with a 1,100m2 cargo deck and accommodation for 110 persons. They have a 150t active

heave-compensated offshore crane, and hangar housing for two work-class ROVs for the subsea work.

“We recognised a clear need to optimise our vessel deployment to support an increasingly diverse and complex project portfolio,” said Dries van Strijp, Allseas’ vice president Operations.

“After carefully exploring all available options, it became clear that securing two next-generation newbuilds –fully optimised with the latest technology – was the best long-term solution to strengthen our capabilities and capture new opportunities in a growing offshore market.”

The vessel orders come after Allseas completed a UXO survey in the North Sea for the PORTHOS project, a subsea carbon capture and storage project in the Dutch North Sea.

SAAM Towage is teaming up with Caterpillar Marine to explore and implement alternative power solutions for its tug fleet.

The collaboration aims to reduce dependence on diesel fuel and explore options such as electrification and alternative fuels including methanol and ethanol.

The companies are already working together on the development of a dual-fuel engine, the Cat 3500E, which is designed to run on methanol and is slated for testing later this year.

“We are committed to supporting SAAM Towage in reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while improving its fleet’s operational efficiency,” said Caterpillar Marine vice president and general manager, Brad Johnson.

Active in over 90 ports across 13 countries in the Americas, SAAM Towage already operates two electric-powered tugs equipped with Caterpillar engines in British Columbia, Canada.

The company is also preparing to receive its third electric tug, which will be deployed in its operations in Chile.

With over 150 tugs powered by Caterpillar Marine engines, SAAM Towage has established a close working relationship with

LARGEST BATTERY RETROFIT

FOR RO-PAX FERRY

Marine battery company AYK Energy says it will carry out the largest battery retrofit on a vessel to date, installing an additional 10MWh on a ro-pax ferry

This will increase battery storage five-fold on the Aurora Botnia, owned and operated by Finnish shipping company Wasaline, from its existing 2.2MWh.

The batteries to be used are the lithium iron phosphate type, which do not have the same risk of igniting as lithiumion batteries and do not contain cobalt, the element notorious because much of it is known to be mined by children in the Congo.

At the moment, the hybrid ferry vessel is propelled mainly by dual-fuel LNG engines, which could be switched with biogas if available.

Expanding our battery capacity is a major step that allows us to make our vessel even more sustainable and allocate more capacity to batteries and biogas

The new load of batteries will also be used as propulsion and will reduce the amount of LNG needed by about 10,000MWh, Wasaline says.

The ferry is a modern ship with two cargo decks, accommodating 935 passengers and with a freight capacity of 1,500 lane metres for trucks and cars.

“We are continuously working to establish the Vaasa–Umeå route as a green shipping corridor”, said Peter Ståhlberg, Managing Director of Wasaline. “There’s growing demand for

environmentally friendly transport, and intermodal cargo transportation from Europe is increasing yearly. This means the entire transport chain can be carbon-neutral today.

“Expanding our battery capacity is a major step that allows us to make our vessel even more sustainable and allocate more capacity to batteries and biogas. Our collaboration with Finland’s and the region’s energy clusters makes innovative solutions like this possible and we are proud to be a forerunner in the industry.”

New electric motors power up Barcelona ferry

The Port of Barcelona’s latest commuter ferry has been equipped with an all-electric propulsion system by German electric drive developer and manufacturer Molabo.

The 15m Ecocat Tres catamaran now runs on Molabo’s ARIES i50 electric motors, which give the vessel a top speed of 12 knots. With an operational speed of 5 knots, the vessel can run for 21 hours in a single charge, Molabo says.

The power and propulsion system, supplied by Azimut Marine, has twin electric inboard ARIES 50kW drives and 36 batteries with a total capacity of 216kWh. Integrated solar panels provide 40% of the ferry’s energy by 40%, Molabo claims.

Built by Metaltec Naval, the aluminium catamaran can carry 84 people and

operates for 12 hours a day, running every 15 to 30 minutes for a 10-minute journey.

The Port of Barcelona is backing electric ferries under a Bus Nàutic service, which connects Drassanes and Llevant wharves in Barcelona.

“Our low-voltage propulsion solutions provide plenty of power for this large, heavy passenger vessel and are also easy and safe to maintain and repair,” said Adrian Patzak, COO at Molabo GmbH. “By eliminating the hassles of high-voltage electric drive systems, the Ecocat Tres has set a new benchmark for practical, economical and sustainable urban mobility.”

“The arrival of the new electric water taxi marks a meaningful step forward in our commitment to sustainability,” said Port of Barcelona president José Antonio Carbonell. “This 100% electric, zero-emission passenger ferry is helping us reshape mobility in the port and accelerate the decarboniSation of our operations.”

SMALL CRAFT ELECTRIC DRIVE TRANSFORMATION

Electric propulsion, particularly for small commercial craft working in harbour settings, is still a big growth area. Jake Frith took a RIB with a 40kW motor for a spin at Ocean Business and chatted to RAD Propulsion’s Dan Hook

RAD Propulsion went into full production of its RAD40 last year, aided in part by successfully closing a £4.27m (€4.91m) funding round, the raise comfortably exceeding the company’s initial target of £2.5m.

Demand for these premium-priced drives has been worldwide: from an eco-tourism lodge in Botswana that has discovered these near silent motors allow its launches to get much closer to animals; to a cruise ship operator that has found its inflatable sightseeing tenders are quicker to dismantle and stow when equipped with modular electric drive components.

Demand has been diverse too: just the week after our trip two RS Pulse electric RIBs equipped with RAD40s would be acting as umpires for the world famous Oxford vs. Cambridge University Boat Race.

As I still mainly operate diesel and petrol boats, it’s always a surprise to step aboard a fully electric craft and experience the novel sensation of carrying on a conversation at normal levels while making acceptable progress across a harbour.

Hook vouches for the fact that the silence isn’t why operators such as harbour authorities are investing in electric boats, but this is one of the main reasons the users of the boats on a day-to-day basis, even if they start out sceptical, are generally ultimately pleased when their authority makes the changeover to electric.

With range anxiety always being in mind with electric vehicles, I was surprised to learn that many harbour authorities recharge their RAD40 equipped launches every two to three days. At the 4-6 knots these boats patrol at, the range in these craft can be well over 100 miles

“These boats are often out for a few hours a day, with lots of slow speed and start/stop work, so the light controls (the RAD40 is completely fly by wire, so all inputs are fingertip light) and low noise levels make them highly popular.

“When you are out on a boat every day, small reductions in the general fatigue, such as that provided by no longer having to shout to be heard by other crew, all add up. While our engines are often purchased to meet decarbonisation targets, their users, just like many electric car drivers, often state that if all these targets got scrapped tomorrow they would keep their electric boats and never go back.”

Range and manoeuvrability

With range anxiety always being in mind with electric vehicles, I was surprised to learn that many harbour

authorities recharge their RAD40 equipped launches every two to three days. At the 4-6 knots these boats patrol at, the range in these craft can be well over 100 miles.

Electric boats are still so new and developmental, there are still a number of different ways of solving the problems. Choice of motor and gearbox configuration is one area where many of the solutions diverge.

The RAD40 uses an axial flux motor. This is relatively wide and flat, is not the cheapest solution, but as far as Hook is concerned it is the best.

“For motors, diameter equals torque, thanks to simple principles of leverage,” he says. “Once you’ve decided the motor will be mounted above the water in a powerhead, so not a direct drive hub motor, you can, within reason, have it whatever shape you like.

“If you go for high torque at slow RPM, as we have with axial flux, you don’t have a great step down in gearing to take the motor speed down to the prop speed. With this, the gearbox in the leg can be a relatively small diameter, aiding hydrodynamics and so optimising speed and/or range.”

Unfortunately there are limits to this, as electric motors, particularly axial flux motors, shove out so much torque, the gearbox cannot be super narrow.

RAD says the 40kW is equivalent to a 60hp petrol outboard, and taking the wheel of this one at Ocean Business would incline me to agree.

Acceleration is instantaneous but quiet, and manoeuvrability is stunning. For those not used to a drive that can be turned a full 90 degrees either way from

POWER, PROPULSION & FUTURE FUELS

In terms of future products, Hook let us into two areas of development. A circa 6kW solution will cater for small, slow moving harbour craft, while a circa 120kW solution will provide enough grunt for RIBs up to 8m in twin configuration

the straight ahead, it feels like something of a manoeuvring super power.

After enjoyably spinning the boat in its own length in forward gear, I slipped the control into reverse, giving it a little too much throttle before the way was adequately off the boat.

The V-hulled RIB suddenly got a very torquey rolling moment in the other direction. The fly by wire control system, called RADBus, limits power in reverse for this reason, but new operators need to be gentle on the controls. The system also limits the steering angle available at high speeds.

Electric benefits

Electrification allows other useful packaging wins. With no heavy internal combustion engine to keep a certain distance above the water, the motor tilts without any part of it entering the boat.

This immediately makes any boat feel about 50cm longer inside, and on small passenger craft this can mean an extra pair of seats. On all craft, the low level of the motor both tilted up and down means greater design options around swim platforms and stern boarding arrangements.

Most electric motors are waterproof and capable of working after full immersion. It’s a feature that’s not difficult to do on most motors as they don’t need to ‘breathe’ air, and their electrics are often close to the water so it’s a prudent thing to have.

The RAD40 is no exception, being tested to IP67 standards. While electric outboards are yet to make massive inroads into Search and Rescue, the ability to completely immerse the motor, restart and carry on straight away, has to be in their favour.

Batteries

Batteries is another area where solutions differ. The cheapest way to do it is most likely with off-the-shelf automotive battery packs, but these are configured to be wide and flat to sit at floor level in a car.

“For most boats a wide, flat automotive pack is not the preferred solution,” says Hook. “It’s hard to stow and if it is put under the console it can raise the helm position, potentially affecting the stability and feel of the boat.

“While our individual lithium-ion cells are the same as in some automotive packs, we’ve reconfigured these into deeper, more rectangular packs that nestle well into the V of most hulls. The batteries are available in 21kWh and 61kWh sizes, to fit a variety of boat configurations and requirements.”

Charging of the 61kWh is achievable in under an hour thanks to the 400 Volt architecture and CCS DC fast charging, but Hook reports that it suits many operators to just charge overnight on a mains plug.

In terms of future products, Hook let us into two areas of development. A circa 6kW solution will cater for small, slow moving harbour craft, while a circa 120kW solution will provide enough grunt for RIBs up to 8m in twin configuration.

In terms of catering for larger boats, Hook is fairly committed to RAD remaining a specialist in small vessel propulsion.

“For our customers we see around 150hp to be the sweet spot. It covers a lot of vessel types and speed ranges,” he says.

■ ‘Manoeuvring an electric RIB at slow speeds is a real pleasure’Jake Frith

■ The drive leg

As the UK government prepares to put emissions penalties on vessels below 400GT for the first time, it has issued a call for evidence (CfE) to help it decide how, when and how much.

Setting out plans to achieve ‘net zero fuel lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by 2050’ in the domestic maritime industry, the Department for Transport has published a Maritime Decarbonisation Strategy, available in full here.

In it, the paper acknowledges that to date, the government’s fuels regulation and emissions pricing policies do not cover vessels below 400GT, and that this is something it intends to address.

“Informed by our call for evidence and stakeholder engagement, we will develop proportionate measures to reduce emissions from smaller vessels, and to accelerate the uptake of zero and near-zero GHG emission fuels and technologies where there are clear technological pathways, subject to formal consultation from 2026 in some areas,” the strategy says. With the government’s legally binding target of reaching net zero emissions across all sectors by 2050, the shipping industry is going to have its work cut out.

Larger vessels (initially over 5,000GT but now below that) already have to monitor their emissions with Automated Identification Systems transponders.

DECARBONISING SMALLER VESSELS: UK CALLS FOR EVIDENCE

”A key challenge for the sub-sector is the relative lack of emissions data as currently only vessels of 300GT or above are required to have AIS transponders,” the report says. “This CfE will help plug this evidence gap to develop effective and impactful policies.”

Exceptions

The government recognises certain sectors that may be able to move more quickly in emissions reduction than others depending on its operations.

“For example, vessels that operate close to shore may be able to reduce their emissions more easily as there is more frequent access to refuelling and/or charging infrastructure.

“However, we recognise that there will be exceptions,” it says.

The vessels it has identified as having ‘a clear route to decarbonisation’ are those with short duty cycles; regular opportunity to recharge; and space on board for sufficientg battery or hydrogen storage.

Those that have ’an unclear pathway to reducing emissions’ include oil and gas vessels; deep-sea tugs; pilot boats; pipe/ cable layers; research vessels; salvage vessels; light ships and fishing vessels.

“Gathering evidence on individual sub-sectors is an important first step and does not mean these sub-sectors will necessarily be impacted by future policy,” the call out says.

The world’s first commercial ammonia fuelled tugboat, Sakigake, has successfully completed a three-month demonstration voyage in Tokyo Bay, achieving up to a 95% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Developed by Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) and IHI Power Systems Co Ltd (IPS), the ammonia tug is part of Japan’s Green Innovation Fund Project under its New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

“This demonstration proves that ammonia is a viable next-generation fuel,” said a spokesperson for NYK. “By reducing GHG emissions by up to 95%, we are taking a major step towards carbon neutrality in the shipping sector.”

Green milestone

The vessel, originally completed in August 2024, represents a significant milestone in green towage and alternative fuels for the maritime industry.

Throughout the trial period, NYK and IPS monitored ammonia co-firing efficiency and confirmed that GHG reductions consistently exceeded 90% across various engine loads.

A commemorative ceremony in Yokohama celebrated the milestone, attended by

NIPPON’S AMMONIA TUG COMPLETES DEMO VOYAGE

representatives from NEDO, NYK, IPS, ClassNK and Japan’s ministries of transport and economy. Moving forward, the Sakigake will continue its tugboat operations in Tokyo Bay while accumulating data to enhance ammoniafueled vessel technology.

The vessel, originally completed in August 2024, represents a significant milestone in green towage and alternative fuels for the maritime industry

Meanwhile, NYK and its partners are developing an ammonia-fuelled gas carrier, scheduled for delivery in November 2026, which aims to help further substantiate the use of ammonia in larger commercial vessels. NEDO said it will continue to promote research and development of next-generation fuel vessels, including developing an ammonia-fueled ammonia gas carrier and working toward achieving carbon neutrality in the shipping industry.

Product Launch iHelm captain display 2.0

Brand new to the UK market, the Momentum M10 is the lightest 10kW 15hp electric outboard available anywhere. Its instant torque feels more like 25hp off the line, getting most smaller boats on the plane immediately, but at trolling speeds, it can run all day. With no tools required to mount it on a workboat, RIB, tender or sail boat, and with just one cable for both power and data, it’s quick and easy to set up and get going while its battery has been designed to stow away in a standard fuel locker. Electric Outboard will be demonstrating the M10 on the water at Seawork giving the UK market its first opportunity to experience the power and usability of this outstanding piece of electric outboard engineering and design.

Launch of an electric boat made from HDPE.

Memorandum of Partnership: Volvo Penta & Tidal Transit. This will be a short on-stand signing ceremony to mark the official partnership between Volvo Penta and Tidal Transit for the construction of the first two CTVs equipped with Volvo Penta’s Serial Hybrid Quad IPS system, to be built in Spain. The event will include brief speeches from both parties, followed by the signing of the MoP. The aim is to highlight the technological innovation and environmental impact of the project. The event will be positioned as a key milestone in the maritime decarbonisation journey.

An introduction to the new HYUNDAI DX15 marine engine which will be exhibited on our stand, along with drinks.

We have launched a new design of our onboard captain display. This new design includes completely new features, unique to the market with three different adaptable operation modes. Repeatable, semi-repeatable or non-repeatable operations will benefit from insights specifically targeted to their needs. With a speed gauge and a fuel gauge, captains will be provided with real-time information supporting them at sea.

The CBOA is the prime trade organisation involved in the effort to sustain and increase freight carriage on our waterways for economic and environmental reasons. The roads are already over-stretched with the amount of traffic, clogged with cars, lorries and trucks. Some of these vehicles are on overnight or next day deliveries for which they are best suited, but much of the traffic could be taken by water as part of an integrated transport policy. Water freight can be the cheapest way to move goods. The main reasons are economies of scale and fuel efficiency - that one person operating a decent sized barge can move more cargo by water in a given amount of time than that person could if driving a lorry to and fro. Membership of the CBOA is open to both companies and individuals who support the aims of the association. Together we can make a difference.

INSIDE INTERNATIONAL SALVAGE MISSIONS ANALYSED BY THE ISU

From wartime wrecks to modern maritime mayhem, the International Salvage Union’s latest report reveals 15 missions in the first quarter of the year in a pertinent reminder that in salvage, writes Peter Barker, no two battles are ever the same

Marine salvage has its (semi-organised) origins in the 16th century but less formal recovery of treasure from sunken ships dates back more than 2,000 years.

There are two basic camps: salvage and wreck removal, both using similar hardware and expertise but under different legal and contractual arrangements, each activity drawing on different skill requirements.

The ISU’s analysis of the last 15 incidents has revealed they consisted of four vessel groundings, four fires, two capsizes and two vessel breakdowns. The other two involved fuel removal and oil response, and collision.

Running aground incidents

Prospects do not look good for the 2,478teu container ship MSC Baltic III, hard aground in a secluded cove in Newfoundland, Canada, with the Canadian Coast Guard maintaining an oversight into an operation that includes removal of pollutants into a barge alongside, with the removal of cargo also a priority.

T&T Salvage has been appointed to assess the vessel’s condition, with sources reporting that construction of a road to allow shoreside access to the vessel to mitigate weather delays is being considered, clearly a story with an end yet to be told.

When Smit Salvage signed a Lloyd’s Open Form with the owners of a geophysical survey vessel after it grounded on the Italian island of Elba, it collaborated with local partner Fratelli Neri to manage the situation.

The ISU’s analysis of the last 15 incidents has revealed they consisted of four vessel groundings, four fires, two capsizes and two vessel breakdowns. The other two involved fuel removal and oil response, and collision

The twin-hulled catamaran sustained a breach in its port hull and a diving inspection was organised to assess the damage. After the vessel’s bunkers were removed, buoyancy aids were installed and ‘acting with urgency and expertise’ due to imminent bad weather, the vessel was successfully re-floated, towed to a nearby marina and safely lifted ashore. Meanwhile Greek salvor Tsavliris was engaged in a twomonth operation when the bulk carrier Kamari stranded due to steering gear problems off Recife, Brazil. The Boskalis tug Manta was engaged for towing the vessel to Cadiz in Spain.

Fire: the most feared

Shipboard fires are among the most feared incidents seafarers face and they also pose particular problems for responders.

Fires can result from a sequence of unrelated events or spontaneously, perhaps from the ship’s cargo, conflagrations within containers, or increasingly, some believe, from electric vehicle transport.

Italy’s Grimaldi Group has experienced a run of bad fortune recently including fires on two of its roro/container ships. Smit Salvage was contracted under Lloyd’s Open Form earlier in 2025 when the Grande Brasile reported a fire on board during transit of the Dover Strait.

Initially it had been thought the vessel’s crew had the blaze under control, and a tow was requested to a port of refuge from partner and fellow ISU member Multraship.

But another fire broke out the same day, forcing the crew to abandon ship, and Smit was asked to assist with fire fighting.

Parent company Boskalis deployed its 83tbp AHTS Kamara with a salvage team, bad weather later requiring a second more powerful Boskalis tug, the 180tbp Bear, to assist. Two days of boundary cooling followed before salvors were able to board Grande Brasile Kamara was replaced by another tug, together with extra salvage personnel, allowing it to depart for its original project. Along with partner Multraship, the vessel was eventually towed to Antwerp, where Smit continued care-taking work until the cargo was unloaded.

Grande Brasile was later declared a total loss and recently reported to be heading for a recycling yard in Turkey.

■ MSC Baltic III remains hard aground in Newfoundland Canada

Canadian Coast Guard

Fires can result from a sequence of unrelated events or spontaneously, perhaps from the ship’s cargo, conflagrations within containers, or increasingly, some believe, from electric vehicle transport

Another incident involving a Grimaldi vessel highlights the role of America’s OPA 90 regulations, when after severe weather and shifting cargo, Grande Congo encountered a fire on passage from Valencia to Baltimore.

The vessel’s onboard CO2 system put out the fire, but the US Coast Guard issued an order directing the ship to Newport News Marine Terminal. Donjon-SMIT, as designated OPA 90 provider, mobilised a salvage team and along with shoreside agencies met the vessel and embarked on an extensive recovery programme.

Work included removing part of the vessel’s cargo, pollution prevention measures and temporary repairs including structural reinforcements, and following clearance from class and USCG, Grande Congo resumed its voyage just short of a month after the initial alert.

Finally, what started out as a fire led to a complex salvage operation when the yacht Atina sank off Olbia, Sardinia in the course of fire-fighting activities. Working with Dutch Offshore, Resolve Marine mobilised the 1,400t lift crane barge Conquest MB1, which parbuckled the casualty before lifting it onto the barge for onward transport to a scrapping facility.

Disabled vessels

Disabled vessels being towed to a place of safety can give the impression of a simple ‘tow you home’ operation but can mask the often complex issues involved.

The 53,284dwt bulker Evanthia was laden with raw sugar when it encountered main engine problems 300nm west of Cape Town. Tsavliris arranged for the salvage tug Umkhuseli to tow the vessel to Durban, redelivering the vessel around three weeks later.

More thought was called for when another large bulk carrier was immobilised in bad weather 40 miles off Norway’s northern coast. Five Oceans Salvage mobilised the 62tbp tug Borge Parat from Tromso, the only available tug in the region.

With the casualty’s rudder stuck at hard to port, the subsequent tow was reported as ‘very slow’ and the Norwegian authorities assisted with their Emergency Towing Vessel KV Jarl, the two tugs bringing the vessel to the safe anchorage of Vannvag.

After salvors provided portable generators to provide power for the vessel, Borg Parat remained in attendance until the casualty vessel’s crew completed repairs and continued their voyage to Brazil.

Collision and abandonment

Collisions carry the risk of foundering for the vessels involved, and the bulk carrier Bosphorus-M was left ‘critically unstable’ with a 4m rupture below the waterline because of a collision with another vessel, losing nearly half its cargo of wheat.

Resolve Marine and ISU associate member Prantik Bengal Salvage & Diving restored buoyancy, and redistributed and discharged 9,000 tonnes of damaged wheat. Initial temporary patching did not survive subsequent bad weather and a doubler plate was installed over the damaged area.

The operation, completed successfully over 36 days, involved six vessels and 34 salvage crew members in what Prantik described as ‘one of the most technically demanding salvage operations in recent history’.

Other incidents reported by ISU include the complex recovery by Aras Salvage of a container ship in Turkey where the vessel had been abandoned by its crew, its owners, managers and even its insurers.

Following loss of stability the vessel sank during loading operations and the recovery involved removing containers and the vessel’s superstructure to reduce weight, sealing openings and stabilising with a 700t floating crane aft to ensure controlled lifting.

Historical shipwrecks

The final operation to mention demonstrates how shipwrecks dating back many decades are now threatening the environment because of deteriorating fuel tanks – having made the headlines in an era when removal of pollutants was not considered with the same degree of priority as today.

Resolve Marine was tasked by the Canadian Coast Guard to deal with the US Army transport ship General Zelinski which sank in 1946 in British Columbia. Resolve’s work involved installing new hot tap valves, pumping out the remaining heavy fuel oil and placing pollution protection domes in six locations as designated by the coast guard.

While the International Salvage Union report covers Q1 2025, a wider view is required given that dealing with incidents can last from a few days to years, and there are almost always legal processes to deal with that can become protracted affairs before the case file is finally closed.

The range of activities salvage contractors undertake in modern times are far more complex than a roadside ‘tow home’ solution. And today, the marine equivalent requires even more focused attention on protecting the environment, now commonly seen as a priority before even saving property.

ANTWERP LAUNCHES EUROPE’S FIRST ELECTRIC TUG

Europe’s first electric tug has now been launched at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges

The tug, Volta 1, was delivered in December 2024 as the first of six, all built to a similar design as part of the port’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Developed with Damen, Volta 1 is a Reversed Stern Drive tug designed on a double bow principle, and is equipped with a Twin Fin skeg for optimal stability and manoeuvrability.

The vessel is 25 metres long, 13 metres wide and weighs 607 tons. She is powered by 2.8MWh of lithium titanium oxide batteries that can charge in two hours to give 12 hours’ sailing, a statement from the port said. the vessel has 70 tons of bollard pull.

Charging is available at Antwerp, which says it aims to become a multi-fuel port, having tested hydrogen and methanol bunkering for tugs as well as bio- and conventional fuels

Charging is available at Antwerp, which says it aims to become a multi-fuel port, having tested hydrogen and methanol bunkering for tugs as well as bio- and conventional fuels. It can afford the space to do so, as the fifth largest bunker port in the world, while smaller ports might have more difficulties accommodating so many different fuels.

“Achieving this European first in the year when we are also celebrating 150 years of tug service makes it both symbolic

and historic,” said Johan Klaps, president of the board at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges.

“As a global port, we are taking our responsibility to pull the maritime sector into the energy transition,” said Jacques Vandermeiren, the port CEO. “The Volta 1, together with the Hydrotug, Methatug and RSD tugs, represents a tangible step towards a climate-neutral port by 2050.”

Advanced protection for heavy-duty marine diesel engines

Castrol has launched Rivermax 15W40 CK-4/E9, a next-generation marine lubricant designed for heavy-duty marine diesel engines, including those powering tugs and ferries.

Developed specifically for vessels navigating inland waterways, this synthetic engine oil has been aligned to meet the latest ACEA and API specifications.

“We’re committed to delivering highperformance lubrication solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said Henning Von Rheden, brand & communication director, Europe at Castrol.

“The launch of this new Rivermax product brings the latest industry specifications to our marine customers, ensuring Castrol’s commitment to the latest technology and specification.”

Rivermax 15W-40 CK-4/E9 represents an evolution from the former CRB Rivermax line,

now rebranded to strengthen Castrol’s focus on innovation in marine propulsion systems.

Engineered for a wide range of diesel engines, including those in commercial fishing boats, cargo ships and tugs, Castrol said the new engine oil offers compatibility with advanced emission systems like EGR, DPF, DOC and SCR.

The new marine lubricant features enhanced detergents and antioxidants to help prevent deposit formation and oil thickening, key challenges in demanding marine environments.

With its CK-4 base, Rivermax 15W-40 CK-4/E9 exceeds older API categories including CJ-4 and CI-4 PLUS, offering robust protection and improved engine efficiency.

Castrol Rivermax 15W-40 CK-4/E9 is available now in a variety of pack sizes, including 20L small packs, 208L drums and bulk and mini bulks.

TOWING & SALVAGE

A new industry guide on the use of tugs in firefighting has been launched to strengthen marine safety and emergency response protocols.

Unveiled at the British Tugowners Association (BTA) Annual Conference in Belfast, the ’Use of Tugs in Firefighting’ guide is the first UK-specific resource of its kind, offering vital direction for tug operators on effective firefighting and towing procedures.

“The launch of our inaugural guide on the Use of Tugs in Firefighting represents a pivotal moment for maritime safety and emergency preparedness. This guide not only addresses the unique challenges posed by alternatively fuelled vessels but also sets a new standard for industry practices,” said Nick Jeffrey, chair, BTA.

“We are proud to offer this comprehensive resource to tug operators, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge and protocols necessary to protect lives, property, and the environment in the face of maritime emergencies.”

Critical role

The aim of the guide is to enhance training, towing operations and fire response effectiveness across the UK fleet.

STRENGTHENED PROTOCOLS FOR FIREFIGHTING TUGS

Recent incidents, including the Stena Immaculate and Solong allision in the Humber, underscore the critical role of firefighting tugs. In that case, tugs helped contain the resulting fire, minimising environmental damage, despite the tragic loss of one seafarer.

With over 200 shipboard fires reported globally in 2023 and a rise in vessels powered by alternative fuels like lithium-ion batteries and ammonia, the guide addresses a growing

demand for practical and specialised firefighting protocols.

Developed with contributions from industry leaders including Lloyd’s Register and UK Harbour Masters, the guide complies with SOLAS and the Merchant Shipping Act.

SALVAGE HEROES –A TALE OF TWO SHIPS

As the salvage comes to an end of the Solong and Stena Immaculate vessels that were involved in a collision in the North Sea last month, Peter Barker examines the work involved in getting them back to shore

On March 10, while on passage from Grangemouth to Rotterdam, the 140m LOA, 803teu container vessel Solong crashed into the 183m LOA, 49,729dwt chemical/products tanker Stena Immaculate, which was anchored around 10 miles northeast of the Humber estuary.

The tanker was laden with aviation fuel and a number of Solong’s containers were loaded on deck. Fires broke out on both vessels, which were initially locked together.

Despite valiant efforts to fight the fire on the tanker, both vessels were abandoned and initial responses involved local lifeboats, two Windcat Workboats Crew Transfer Vessels, other nearby vessels and a flotilla of tugs from the Humber.

Although crew from both vessels were landed ashore safely, one of Solong’s crew remains unaccounted for.

Solong was towed to a position south of the Humber estuary, both vessels still on fire and aviation fuel released into the sea from a ruptured tank on Stena Immaculate

Salvors were appointed and Lloyd’s Salvage Arbitration Branch reported Lloyd’s Open Form agreements for both vessels involving Smit Salvage for Stena Immaculate and T&T Salvage, Multraship Salvage and Boluda Towage for Solong

Legal and commercial considerations often restrict detailed reporting, but what can be reported is how such operations are carried out, and it is worth evaluating the true value of maritime emergency services.

SOSREP

Casualties within the jurisdiction of coastal states require that salvors have knowledge of the legal protocols and political nuances of each country, diplomacy being an important skill, particularly when the salvage master on scene is the sole physical representative of these often ‘foreign’ visitors.

The UK enquiry following stranding of the tanker Sea Empress at Milford Haven in 1996 coined the phrase ‘salvage by committee’, with so many stakeholders, including onshore communities and environmental bodies, involved.

A government review recommended that one individual should have ultimate influence and control, and the role of Secretary of State’s Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention (SOSREP) was born.

SOSREP, along with HM Coastguard and the MCA’s Counter Pollution and Salvage Team, maintains operational oversight of incidents and is vested with full authority, ultimate control and legal power to make final decisions during maritime emergencies – without the interference of politicians.

Dangers

Back offshore, the two vessels were safely isolated from one another by salvors, with Stena Immaculate anchored in its original position and Solong held in position by Multraship’s Multratug 35 and Multratug 36 around 20 miles south.

While dedicated salvage tugs are no longer routinely stationed at casualty hot-spots, most contractors maintain equipment stockpiles at strategic locations ready to be

airlifted at short notice to the site with local tugs and craft chartered where required. Some major salvors also have arrangements with regional salvors.

NW Europe is well served with ship-handling tugs and with its proximity to ports on the Humber, at one time (including the distress phase) around 12 local tugs responded.

Planners ashore would have been thinking well ahead, assessing various options, and initially putting out the fires and making it safe for salvage teams to re-board each vessel.

Within just 24 hours, the fire on Stena Immaculate was reported as ‘greatly diminished with no flames visible’, salvors were able to board and damage assessments began.

Despite valiant efforts to fight the fire on the tanker, both vessels were abandoned and initial responses involved local lifeboats, two Windcat Workboats Crew Transfer Vessels, other nearby vessels and a flotilla of tugs from the Humber

Official agencies ashore established if the missing crew member was still on board Solong and with vessel’s master arrested and charged with criminal offences, evidence would have been kept.

Salvors working to stabilise the situation would also have been tasked with keeping evidence and the investigation was led by the UK’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) with Portugal and the United States (as flag states of each vessel) acting as ‘substantially interested parties’.

With the fires on Stena Immaculate now out, planning for the next phase could begin, but salvors faced a different task on Solong

■ The two vessels caught fire, but salvors managed to contain the blaze within 24 hours

For the salvage industry, which responds to such events on a regular basis, managing several incidents at the same time and often far out of sight of concerned communities, running into danger when others run in the opposite direction is part of what they do

Containers and jet fuel

Each vessel carried very different cargoes, each with their own environmental threat of potential pollution.

Stena Immaculate carried a single, known cargo, but on Solong, the contents of containers were out of sight. Some might not have contained what was declared, and extreme caution was needed given the next container to catch fire may have included dangerous goods, presenting literally an explosive situation.

Cargo fires on large container ships may provide the opportunity for salvors to board in relatively safe zones, but at around a third the length of the ocean-going giants and with fires now extending throughout, Solong’s blaze had to be tackled from a safe distance.

Before towing to port for further assessment, time protecting the environment from potential pollutants from each vessel was important.

For Stena Immaculate, still at anchor and now with the powerful AHTS Brage Viking (250tbp) in attendance, the tanker’s US-based manager Crowley reported that 202,485 barrels of the original 220,00 barrels of Jet-AI fuel remained on board.

This still intact cargo was transferred to the chartered chemical/products tanker Fure Vyl in a ‘standard and routine’ ship-to-ship transfer operation and delivered to its original destination, Killingholme, UK.

The operation required special skills including monitoring the structural integrity of the now damaged hull as Stena Immaculate was lightened, and eight days after the collision, positive progress was made on Solong, MCA reporting the fires had been put out with salvage crews able to access all parts of the vessel.

Towed to safety

One week later, Multratug 35 and Multratug 36, accompanied by a counter-pollution vessel, began the three-day task of towing Solong to Aberdeen for further investigation and assessment.

The ship-to-ship transfer operation for Stena Immaculate continued, and 31 days into the incident Crowley reported that the remaining jet fuel had been removed.

Brage Viking, accompanied by two ship-handling tugs, towed the vessel to a lay-by berth at Great Yarmouth for inspection and temporary repairs.

Delivery of casualty vessels to their owners, often at a safe port or anchorage, may mark the end of the salvors’ commitments under Lloyd’s Open Form, but of course the story is far from over.

Solong is reported as being a total loss, but what is left of the cargo – along with any that may be unaffected – will probably have to be removed before it is disposed of.

Contracts for this work and any onward towage can be separate from the original ‘salvage’, but such activity is generally within the capabilities of commercial salvage companies who are familiar with managing high-risk situations, such as trapped toxic gases escaping as the damaged containers are removed and unpacked, with reignition another risk.

For the salvage industry, which responds to such events on a regular basis, managing several incidents at the same time and often far out of sight of concerned communities, running into danger when others run in the opposite direction is part of what they do.

Major pollution from the Solong, Stena Immaculate incident was avoided thanks to the bravery, skill and ingenuity of an industry whose importance extends far beyond their historic main role of reducing financial losses for the shipping industry.

TOWING & SALVAGE

Turkish shipbuilder Sanmar is building a tug destined to be the first fully electric one to operate in Latin America, specifically Chile.

Completion of sea trials for the first example of the series’ 25m variant marks another step in Sanmar’s progress with the development of its Robert Allan-designed ElectRA series of fully electric tugs.

It will be the third ElectRA class for Vancouverbased SAAM Towage and will operate in Chile as per a service agreement between SAAM and Empresa Nacional del Petróleo.

SAAM Towage is the largest provider of towage services in the Americas with the first two, Saam Volta and Chief Dan George, now in operation on the west coast of Canada.

This latest vessel, designated the Sanmarexclusive Electra 2500SX, has an overall length of 25.4m on a beam of 12.86m and draught 5.6m. With a maximum battery capacity of 3,616kWh its performance figures include a respectable 70tbp and speed 12.5kn.

Sanmar says it has taken a strategic decision to lead the tug and towing industry towards a sustainable future, based on low and no-emission tugs, ‘by using alternative fuels and innovative technological advances to protect the environment’.

Allowing for battery-powered tugs to be included in the ‘alternative fuel’ category, the

all-electric option appears to be generating cautious interest and like other alternative fuels is demonstrating that the latest developments, battery capacity being an important consideration, can be a viable alternative to the traditional one-type-fits-all fuel option route.

In this regard, it is appearing that the type of operation in individual ports is an important consideration when deciding what road to go down for tug owners and operators considering fleet replacement or servicing new contracts.

the Robert Allan-designed ElectRA banner and is offered in five variants: 1900SX (40tbp), 2200SX (45tbp), 2300SX (70tbp), 2500SX (up to 70tbp) and 2800SX (up to 85tbp).

In 2024, Norway’s Bukser og Berging took delivery of the 22m variant BB Electra, while in the previous year SAAM’s two 23m vessels mentioned above were delivered. The 25m vessel, the focus of this article, is the first of the ElectRA 2500SX class.

Three notable deliveries in 2023 saw the 2800SX class vessels HaiSea Wami, HaiSea Wee’git and Haisea Brave delivered to Canada’s HaiSea Marine, a JV majority-owned by the Haisla Nation in partnership with Seaspan ULC in a contract with LNG Canada.

Performance is key to all-electric tugs, emphasised by Rüçhan Çıvgın, commercial director of Sanmar Shipyards.

“It was extremely important, when we were developing the ElectRA series with our partners Robert Allan and Corvus Energy, that the move to electricity and other alternative fuels should not come with any loss of power or performance,” he said.

GOTHENBURG SWITCHES ON H2-GENERATED SHOREPOWER

Scandinavia’s biggest port has reached the final phase of a pilot project that uses a hydrogen generator to supply electricity to docked ships

A hydrogen-powered generator has been connected to Stena Line’s existing shorepower facility at the Port of Gothenburg and has supplied electricity to the vessels Stena Germanica and Stena Scandinavica while both were docked.

The hydrogen is classed as green, which means it has been produced using power from renewable sources.

“At Stena Line, we are eager to collaborate to test new technologies aimed at reducing emissions from our industry. This project shows that there are alternative solutions for ports that lack the infrastructure for shore power,” said Anders Peterson, Group Head of Port Development & Engineering at Stena Line.

The method, he said, could pave the way for reduced emissions in ports where conventional shorepower connections are not feasible.

The amount of carbon dioxide saved is not insignificant, says the port, quoting a report from the European Parliamentary Research Service, which estimates that 6-7% of CO2 emissions from the shipping sector are generated while vessels are docked at ports within the European Economic Area (EEA).

The first facilities for connecting ships to shore-side electricity were installed at the Port of Gothenburg in the early 2000s, when the OPS-facilities at Stena Line’s terminals for Germany and Denmark traffic were among the first of their kind in the world.

“However, many other ports in the EU and across the globe have not come as far and often lack necessary prerequisites,” says the port. “OPS systems require significant investment as well as a robust underlying electrical infrastructure in the ports.

“In such ports, alternative solutions are needed. Mobile hydrogen generators, like the one currently being tested at Stena Line’s Germany terminal, may offer a promising way forward.”

Heading off regulations

In 2030, a new EU regulation will come into effect requiring container and passenger vessels to use OPS while at berth.

This is expected to reduce emissions by just over one million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, according to a study by ICCT, the International Council on Clean Transportation.

“Currently, 51 ports in 15 EU coastal member states have shorepower infrastructure, supplying 309MW of power, 283MW of which are intended for container, passenger, and cruise ships,” it says. “We estimate the EU needs to triple or quadruple its installed shore power by 2030 to meet the current ambitions of the FuelEU Maritime regulation and AFIR.”

Hydrogen could help ports to meet these requirements, said Viktor Allgurén, Head of Innovation at the Port of Gothenburg.

“Since the climate is a shared concern for us all, it is also in everyone’s interest that as many ports as possible around us succeed in meeting these demands,” he said. “With our

extensive experience in OPS, we are pleased to partner with Stena Line to serve as a test bed for this new technology, which may very well prove to be a viable solution for many ports.”

The hydrogen generator being tested at the Port of Gothenburg was developed by Hitachi Energy, whose technology partner PowerCell Group supplies the generator’s power modules and expertise in fuel cell integration. During the test, the generator used 100% green hydrogen supplied by gas producer Linde Gas.

“We are very pleased with the results of the latest collaboration with Stena Line, PowerCell Group, Linde Gas, and the Port of Gothenburg. We value working with these industry players to continue exploring new application areas for HyFlex and to demonstrate its broad potential—from construction sites to port terminals—to accelerate the energy transition,” said Tobias Hansson, Managing Director of Hitachi Energy in Sweden.

Hydrogen as a fuel has a range of potential applications in a port context.

Today, the Port of Gothenburg has a hydrogen refuelling station for trucks, hydrogen-powered work vehicles are currently being tested, and the technology used in the current OPS trial has also recently been used in the port by Skanska to power heavy machinery in a major terminal expansion project.

Aqua superPower, in collaboration with its consortium partners, has been working on a critical marine charging infrastructure project along the south coast of the UK.

The Electric Seaway (TES) project has established eight new charging sites, creating a robust network to support the region’s growing fleet of electric maritime vessels.

“The Electric Seaway has been a resounding success, delivering on our vision to create a reliable and accessible charging network for electric vessels.This project showcases the power of collaboration and innovation in driving the decarbonisation of the maritime sector,” said Karen Gill, COO of Aqua superPower.

“We’re thrilled to see the south coast emerge as a hub for sustainable marine travel, offering both commercial operators and leisure users the confidence to embrace electric propulsion.

Ambitious goal

The TES project was first launched in June 2023 with GB£3.2 million in funding from the UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emissions (UK SHORE) programme in the Department for Transport, with Innovate UK as the main delivery partner.

ECHANDIA ON CHARGING UP MARINE BATTERY BUSINESS

Following an SEK220 million (€20 million) funding round, Swedish marine battery system supplier Echandia speaks to Maritime Journal about its portfolio, its vision, and what it’s going to do with the money

The funding – led by Alantra’s energy transition fund Klima, headquartered in Spain, together with Swedish venture capital fund Industrifonden, with additional investments from Swedish SEB Greentech VC and Japanese venture capital firm EEI – is a major milestone for the company, and has allowed it to expand both in Europe and the US.

“The battery market for the maritime sector is growing, but we are also growing within that growing market, which means we need to improve and increase our production capability, both in northern Europe and as we enter the US market,” says Fredrik Hellström, deputy CEO of Echandia. “We have our headquarters and production in Stockholm, and recently moved to new facilities to be able to scale up for the future, production-wise and also from the product development point of view.

“At the same time, we are entering the US market, where we won our first contract last year (Marysville, Washington State). We have people over there, and what we see in the US market is that it requires local production, which is why we have set up a facility there to meet the demands of that market.”

The battery market for the maritime sector is growing, but we are also growing within that growing market, which means we need to improve and increase our production capability, both in northern Europe and as we enter the US market ‘‘

Echandia’s battery systems

Sourcing its cells from Japan, Echandia designs and builds complete battery systems using lithium-titanate-oxide as its chemistry.

The company’s battery portfolio consists of two products – Echandia Energy and Echandia Power – which are both suitable for heavy-duty applications. Based on the same battery system, they are both scalable and can have their modules or cells swapped in and out.

Which of the two alternatives that is used depends on the operational profile for the vessel. Both are used for both new builds and reftrofits, and for RoPax ferries, CTVs, commuters etc. Damen’s Sparky, in New Zealand, is still running on Echandia’s battery systems.

“It’s a very stable chemistry over time,” says Hellström. “We can offer a lifetime about 20 years for our battery system, and a lot of cycles during the complete battery system and cycle. For example with Ropax ferries you can have between 10 and 20 cycles a day and still have a very good lifetime for those applications.”

Charging is also often integrated within the propulsion system, he says, where the inverter can act as a charger for the battery as well, which just leaves the onshore charger to handle the AC/DC part.

The batteries can be used for peak shaving, propulsion –whatever the operational profile of the vessel requires, and this is the determiner, Hellström says – not the vessel type but the vessel requirement.

They also, says Hellström, don’t need a built-in fire-fighting mechanism because by their nature they are so stable.

“We are stating that we have one of the world’s safest battery systems,” he says.

Charging hurdles

Echandia does not supply the charging systems for its batteries and recognises that a lack of standardisation across ports is a problem, although Hellström believes there is a move to address that – especially within the EU, which is always happy to introduce regulations and is putting together requirements that larger ports must have a certain kind of infrastructure in the harbours to connect vessels to the grid.

“This is really good from our battery point of view, because you have the power in the harbour to charge the vessel,” he says.

“We are in fact involved in a project in the San Francisco Bay area, where we will supply the batteries for the onshore charging infrastructure. They will be placed on barges for fully electric vessels.”

For offshore wind vessels – and Echandia has supplied Crew Transfer and Offshore Support Vessels – the offshore charging scenario could be a game changer.

■ Fredrik Hellström, deputy CEO of Echandia

“Offshore charging will be the future for sure, especially for vessels operating within wind farms. The infrastructure is already there.”

As maritime electrification expands, reliability remains a major consideration. “Every vessel above a certain size must have a backup generator,” Hellström noted. “For smaller vessels, full electrification is already viable.”

Retrofit vs new-build

With maritime electrification gaining traction, shipowners face a choice between retrofitting existing vessels or building new, with many believing a retrofit would cost as much as building from scratch.

We see strong growth in Ropax ferries that will be either hybrid or fully electric – and it’s both new-build and retrofits,” says Hellström. “If that were the case, we wouldn’t have any retrofit at all, yet they are almost equal – our order book is split 50-50 between new builds and retrofits.

“Cost wise or system wise we are building the same for both retrofits and new-builds – and that is due to the design – it is very scalable, where we can deliver a battery from 100kWh up to 50MWh or larger – using the same building blocks.”

The biggest delivered so far, he says, is 3MWh, with an order for 7MWh.

“We see strong growth in hybrid and fully electric Ro-Pax ferries,” he said. “Northern Europe remains our most important market, but we are also supplying commuter ferries in India.”

When it comes to the end of life for batteries, it’s much too soon to tell, given Echandia’s should last at least 15-20 years.

But the company is already thinking about it, whether it will mean refurbishing the battery systems themselves, replacing the electronics, or assessing whether the battery cells still have life in them, in which case they can also be used for second-life applications such as energy storage in containers.

Total cost of ownership

“You do need to look at the total cost of ownership, during the whole lifetime, not just the Capex,” says Hellström.

With electricity prices so high – especially in certain countries, for example the UK – diesel might be looking like the better option at the moment.

But with the EU poised to slap penalties on anything related to fossil fuels, this will no doubt change.

“In the long term, electricity prices will likely decrease,” Hellström says. “The EU’s Fit for 55 programme and FuelEU and all that mean there will be tariffs and taxes and so on on different kinds of fuels, so the prices for fuel for operators will go up for sure. Which means going hybrid or electric will be better.”

When it comes to the other operating costs – maintenance, for example, a battery system requires minimal effort.

“There’s no need to replace filters or oil – just routine checks to ensure everything is functioning properly,” he says.

Industry mindset

Despite the growing momentum for marine electrification, challenges remain, Hellström concedes.

“One is the lifetime of a vessel,” he says. “When you’re designing a tanker or a container vessel, the lifetime is about 20 to 30 years – but you can operate it for 40, maybe 50 years, so the cycles for replacing vessels is long in some cases.

“And of course, it’s a traditional market, so it takes time to convince people that the path to electrification is the best way to go, and it’s also a question of educating the market about what you can do with the battery system.

“A lot of people think that it’s new-build only and they need to be fully electric and then you can’t go longer distances and all that, but with the technology that we have today, you can make fuel savings with hybridisation, together with a shaft generator and a shaft engine.

“So by just adding a battery system to existing or the new infrastructure on the vessel, you can make a lot of fuel savings. With the new regulations, you need to cut where you can, actually.

“For sure, this is happening. At the moment, in the workshop, we are building a battery system for an oil tanker. Things are moving on for sure.”

Seven fully electric ferries will be built to serve remote island communities in Scotland.

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) has hired Remontowa Shipbuilding in Poland to build the vessels for the Clyde and Hebrides ferry fleet, with the first to be delivered in 2027.

The seven vessels are being built under the Small Vessel Replacement Programme (SVRP), with another three to be built in a second phase, which will undergo a separate competitive tender process later in the year.

Scottish taxpayers are funding the programme with £160 million, £147.5 million of which will be used to build the vessels, the rest for other ancillary costs.

“This is a significant step in our ferries improvement programme,” said Cabinet secretary for Transport Fiona Hyslop. “When added to the six new major vessels joining the fleet in the coming years, these new electric vessels will mean that this government has invested to renew around a third of CalMac’s entire fleet.”

CMAL chief executive Kevin Hobbs said the plan was to replace up to 16 new vessels over the next six years. The seven follow three others also built at the Polish shipyard.

ELECTRIC FUTURE: A GROWING BATTERY FLEET

The maritime industry is undergoing a transformative shift as battery technology gains momentum across various vessel types. By Andrew Draper

From ferries to tugs, workboats and cargo ships, an increasing number of operators are embracing electric propulsion, driven by advances in battery efficiency and energy storage capacity, as well as responding to stricter environmental regulations and a global push for sustainability.

With regulatory support and continued innovation, maritime batteries are set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of shipping.

The growth in battery-electric vessels is also fuelling demand for specialist maritime labour skills such as electrical engineering and automation, according to Norway-based industry body Maritime Battery Forum (MBF).

Ferries on the charge Ferry operators in UK waters going electric include DFDS and Brittany Ferries.

In May 2024, DFDS announced an investment of €1 billion (£836 million) in six battery-powered ships to sail between Dover and Calais/Dunkirk. The first are due to be in operation in 2030, however DFDS says they will not operate without access to sufficient power supply on land and infrastructure to accommodate charging facilities in ports.

DFDS says it is working with local authorities on this and with world-leading experts in battery technology, ship design and energy efficiency. The aim is to ensure the design encompasses safety and performance while using production methods with the least possible impact on the environment. Three vessels will sail under the French flag, according to DFDS.

Brittany Ferries’ new electric hybrid ship, Saint-Malo, entered service on 12 February, calling into Portsmouth as part of the company’s €550 million (£466 million) fleet renewal. It runs on liquefied natural gas, batteries, or a combination of the two.

Saint-Malo’s sister ship, Guillaume de Normandie, will be shorepower capable (charging available later this year). The first commercial sailing was scheduled for April.

Norway’s Norled ferry operator has claimed the world’s first all-electric ferry, MF Ampere, built in 2014. Now, half its fleet is battery powered and growing.

And Denmark’s Molslinjen is planning to convert its third ferry to electric later this year.

Other vessel types up for electrification

While ferries are the most popular vessel for electrification due to their short voyages, other vessel types are increasingly adopting battery power too. These include tugboats and bulk carriers.

In March, marine battery maker AYK Energy announced an order to manufacture and supply the 6MWh battery that will power the world’s first battery-methanol tug for Svitzer. Turkish shipyard Uzmar is building the vessel, with delivery planned in the second half of 2025.

In January, Liverpool-based Bibby Marine announced the signing of a new shipbuilding contract with the shipyard Armon to build an electric commissioning service operation

vessel. It will feature a battery system complemented by dual-fuel methanol engines able to run all day with a 24.4MWh battery pack and offshore charging.

According to the MBF Ship Register, the passenger vessel segment is, and is set to remain, the biggest battery-powered segment up to 2027 with some 500 ships. But offshore vessels make up the second largest segment, with more than 200 ships. Workboats and tugs represent a growing category, but remain at a low base due to a lack of regulatory demand, MBF managing director Syb ten Cate Hoedemaker, says.

He says the biggest growth in maritime batteries was in 2019, with an increase of about 300% compared to 2018.

“After that there were two main events with a negative impact on growth. First of course the pandemic, which slowed down the adoption of batteries in the maritime industry and delayed a lot of projects,” he says.

“And then in 2023 the Norwegian government suddenly decided to pause a funding scheme for battery-powered ships. These two events both had quite a big impact, but in general the number of battery-powered ships kept on growing globally. Our statistics for 2025 and onwards are not complete yet. There is definitely an increase in growth, but we just don’t have all projects in our database yet.”

The MBF counts 86 members, ranging from classification societies to shipping and shipbuilding companies, battery recyclers, and manufacturers of batteries and their components. It registered its 1,000th battery-powered ship in 2023. The number has now risen to more than 1,500, it said. The ship type and installed battery capacity per ship is also expanding.

The organisation said 20% of ships in its database are fully battery powered, though they may have a small back-up generator too.

Part of the energy mix

commercialisation, issued a report in February on batteries in the maritime industry. It said battery technology will be an important part of the energy mix as heavy fuel oil is phased out.

Batteries offer energy efficiency, reduced emissions and improved performance for smaller vessels, it said. Hybrid fuel solutions are emerging for deep-sea shipping, according to report author Stephen Gifford, Faraday’s chief economist.

“As battery technology continues to advance, full electrification is becoming particularly suited for short routes and vessels such as short-haul ferries, coastal ships, recreational boats and inland waterway craft,” he said, along with hybrid systems.

Both Faraday and the MBF say while batteries can serve as

the main propulsion source in full battery-electric or hybrid vessels, an alternative back-up power source is needed.

Hybrid systems with diesel generators alongside battery systems are expected to become more widespread as distances travelled grow, with vessels operating on batteries alone when entering and leaving port, and switching to other fuels at sea.

Faraday said the UK’s established strength in global shipping, alongside advances in battery technology and the creation of national innovation centres, positions it well to benefit from the shift to new energy fuels and technologies.

“Realising the full benefits of this transition will require coordinated investments in both vessel technology and port infrastructure to enable wide-scale adoption of clean energy solutions,” it said.

Education and Training

An important part of MBF’s work is education and training, and it runs an online introduction to maritime batteries and battery safety.

One of the organisation’s members is Ocomp, a Norwegian training centre and research institute specialising in maritime safety. It has a particular focus on lithium-ion batteries and safety at sea.

It has trained more than 3,000 seafarers in Norway on battery-powered ships, according to Hoedemaker.

He says Norway is the only country in the world with crew training requirements on battery-powered ships, as was set out by the Norwegian Maritime Authority in 2022.

SIEMENS: HOW AI IS REVOLUTIONISING SHIPBUILDING

Artificial intelligence (AI) in some industries and sectors – particularly in industrial and manufacturing settings – it is already transformative, automating mundane, repetitive tasks or closing the gap in worker shortages

This is also true of the maritime industry, which is poised to be transformed. Naval organisations around the world, for example, have been at the forefront of using AI for navigation, predictive maintenance and intelligent decision support systems, investing heavily in AI-powered systems to develop fleet operational capabilities. In contrast, the commercial industry – while making inroads in digitalisation for vessel design, engineering and manufacturing – has been slower to adopt AI as it builds a business case.

Challenges in shipbuilding and maritime industry today

We are facing new challenges in a technology-rich world, both in the shipyard and at sea. With fewer shipyards operating around the world, there’s more competition for cost-effective vessels, delivered faster.

Commercial and naval shipyards alike are reporting a struggle to hire and maintain a workforce of skilled tradesmen as older and more skilled workers retire and take their knowledge with them.

Poor shipyard infrastructures, internal team silos and supply chain issues are all contributing to longer vessel engineering and construction times. Also, ship owners and operators face a high cost of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) in their existing fleets, as well as pressure to conform to regulations driving decarbonisation.

Smooth sailing requires digital transformation maturity

Digital transformation is a critical solution for solving many of these challenges. It’s not merely about delivering data or digitalising processes: it’s about fundamentally transforming how a company operates and delivers value.

Siemens has developed a five-step framework to guide shipbuilders on this journey, helping them assess their progress and take the next steps on their digital transformation journey.

1. Configure - transition from document-based work flows to model-based systems, managing product data in a way that ensures all relevant information is centrally stored and easily accessible throughout the product lifecycle. Companies can then streamline their operations and improve the accuracy and reusability of their data.

2. Connect - Create a single source of truth for the entire product lifecycle, such as connecting data across teams, ensuring that all stakeholders are working with the most accurate and up-to-date information. Many companies currently find themselves at this stage, where digital tools are in place but not yet fully optimised.

3. Automate – this is at the core of digital transformation and AI. It not only frees staff from tedious, repetitive tasks, freeing up time, to do more valuable tasks, it also automates complex tasks that we thought only humans could do. Once a company has automated the mundane, it is on its way to creating a better work environment that more engineers will want to be a part of.

4. Generate - companies can leverage advanced technologies

to explore multiple design alternatives based on predefined parameters, not limited to product design but extending to manufacturing processes as well. Engineers and planners can now quickly evaluate yard layouts, equipment configurations and material flows to optimise ship construction alongside design and engineering. By generating multiple options, teams can accelerate decision-making in production planning, shipyard layouts and execution.

5. Optimise - Using the comprehensive digital twin and other advanced tools to refine and perfect designs. This phase closes the loop on digital transformation by evaluating multiple alternatives against KPIs and using simulations to predict how a product will perform before it is physically built. This not only reduces production costs but also shortens time to market and minimises the risk of costly errors.

Some of the world’s largest shipyards have completed the first two steps to configure data and connect teams along a common digital backbone, but let’s take a deeper look at the third step, automate – where AI is an essential element.

We are facing new challenges in a technology-rich world, both in the shipyard and at sea. With fewer shipyards operating around the world, there’s more competition for cost-effective vessels, delivered faster

How AI can enhance ship design and engineering

As a ‘lower volume’ industry, shipbuilding is wildly different from automotive or aerospace, so AI technology is being adopted more slowly and used differently. It’s no surprise that with technology that is so transformative, many marine organisations are taking a “wait and see” approach.

However, we can’t wait too long. Implementing AI technologies can significantly enhance the overall efficiency of shipbuilding processes. ➤ cont’d on P104

Artificial intelligence is a strategic priority across the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software, services and applications for all industries. AI solutions are primarily focused on generating content, UX and user productivity, automations, optimisation, and search. Using strong partnerships with OpenAI, Microsoft and Amazon AWS, our tech stack is modern and continuously evolving. With the power of AI, organizations can realise these benefits:

● Improved user interaction: AI can make software applications more intuitive, personalised and responsive to customer needs. It can ensure that relevant content is easily available for users and shield users from a lot of traditional manual work.

● Innovative design support: The number of design alternatives is virtually unlimited. By harnessing the power of AI, designers and engineers can uncover groundbreaking design concepts, accelerating innovation.

● Faster decision making: A combination of physics solvers and AI-based inference can speed up total simulation time. AI can analyse vast amounts of data and identify patterns, trends and correlations.

The future isn’t just digital – it’s virtual The industrial metaverse (IMv) is the next stage in the evolution of digital transformation, combining the comprehensive digital twin, AI, and software-defined automation to bring the real and digital worlds even closer together. With nextgeneration software, shipbuilders will be able to create an intuitive and collaborative virtual environment built on precise

real-world data. The IMv will also act as a single-pane-ofglass behind which all lifecycle data is collected, orchestrated, and displayed for review or manipulation.

As part of Siemens’ collaboration with NVIDIA, new software will provide engineering teams with the ability to create ultra-intuitive, photo-realistic, real-time and physicsbased digital twins. These digital twins will combine the precision of industry software with the power of generative AI and real-time physically based rendering delivered on NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud.

Engineering data can thus be visualised as it would appear in the real world. And tasks that used to take days can be completed in just a few hours.

BMT and ATLAS Elektronik UK (AEUK) have successfully put AEUK’s ARCIMS system, an advanced unmanned vessel designed for mine warfare through rigorous testing.

The joint initiative supports the safe deployment of autonomous systems in real-world maritime operations.

“BMT’s partnership with AEUK underscores the importance of simulation-based assurance in developing safe, reliable autonomous systems,” said Will Alexander, campaign lead for maritime autonomous systems at BMT and a master mariner and hydrographic surveyor.

“Building trust in AI decision-making is equally vital. Trustworthy AI must be embedded into the foundation of autonomous systems, and this project exemplifies how that principle is part of the very DNA of our SEAS testbed, ensuring systems are not only compliant but also capable of making informed, seamanlike decisions in dynamic maritime environments.”

COLREG compliance

This partnership builds on BMT’s globally recognised REMBRANDT technology, which has helped set new benchmarks for navigation risk assessment and immersive simulation.

Using BMT’s SEAS testbed, the

collaboration focused on assessing the decision-making capabilities of ARCIMS, where BMT simulated complex maritime environments, ensuring compliance with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs).

BMT’s SEAS testbed provided critical insights into ARCIMS’ performance, identifying areas for refinement and defining safe operational parameters.

The collaboration also contributed to the UK Ministry of Defence’s efforts to establish one of the world’s first frameworks for marine autonomy certification.

“In my view, this type of exercise is an invaluable addition to our existing test procedures. Working with specialist navigators and running scenarios specifically tailored to catch COLREGs ‘edge’ cases allowed us to identify areas for improvement in future algorithm versions,” said Ian Renton, AEUK’s principal software engineer for command, control and autonomy systems.

COLLABORATION IN AUTONOMY: THE NEXT STEPS

Enhanced vessel impact and movement data could boost industry leading vessel autonomy software. Jake Frith reports from Ocean Business 2025, Southampton, UK

UK-based autonomous vessel control systems pioneer Marine AI has partnered Icelandic data-driven marine deep-tech company Hefring Marine in a force-multiplying collaboration.

By integrating Hefring Marine’s Intelligent Marine Assistance System (IMAS) with Marine AI’s GuardianAI vessel autonomy software stack, the partners are confident this will add another layer to maritime autonomy.

MJ caught up with Tom Rooney, general manager at Marine AI, along with Michael Given, Hefring Marine’s Sales manager, at Ocean Business to learn what the word salad above actually means for real-world autonomous vessel operators.

Key to the collaboration is the fact that Hefring Marine’s IMAS system employs sensors to obtain real-time data and then uses AI-driven technology and edge computing to provide actionable insights.

Hitherto, these insights have more usually been provided to a living, breathing skipper, but the carry-over to briefing an AI in the shape of Marine AI’s GuardianAI makes quite a bit of sense.

As Rooney puts it, the job of providing actionable insights is the same, whether those insights are provided to man or machine.

This makes even more sense when one realises that the GuardianAI system has been built on the hierarchy of decision-making that a real skipper would use.

By integrating Hefring Marine’s Intelligent Marine Assistance System (IMAS) with Marine AI’s GuardianAI vessel autonomy software stack, the partners are confident this will add another layer to maritime autonomy

Over the years, new streams of external data, such as radar targets, weather routing and thermal imaging camera data, have flowed into the stack and been integrated. So the system builds a passage plan that is adhered to, thus the vessel reacts to those ‘unless’ scenarios are effectively informed by a chain of command.

Just like a ‘real’ vessel (Rooney is quick to remind us that whether autonomous or human skippered they are all ‘real’ vessels), matters such as adhering to the COLREGS and so avoiding collisions with other vessels clearly loom higher than all else.

How the technology works

Taking the example of a hydrographic survey vessel, its objective likely will be to ‘mow the lawn’, adhering to a set of parameters to conduct a pre-programmed survey route.

While all is going according to plan, the vessel will be controlled by the survey engine software, with the overarching

constant decision-making of GuardianAI making minor adjustments where required for slightly changing variables such as wind and tide, so that its swathes remain accurate.

Should an unforeseen event take place, such as a leisure vessel straying into the survey area, then a higher ranking part of the system takes over to take evasive action.

“What we ideally don’t want to do is stop the vessel in the water,” says Rooney. “That’s the worst-case scenario. In situations such as where a survey vessel has a sensitive and fragile towfish behind, the system will do just what a real skipper would. So it would take evasive action, by steering in the COLREGS-compliant direction in a large loop to clear the problem vessel, then resume collecting survey data where it left off. All while maintaining speed and hence not risking expensive towed equipment from hitting the seabed.

“To do this it will of course inform the survey engine of the manoeuvre so all survey data remains clean and uncompromised,” says Rooney. “So it’s done what a real skipper would do. It knows it must take evasive action, but equally it knows it is towing a million pounds worth of kit, so it takes the necessary evasive action in a manner that protects that kit.”

Marine AI acts as a central vessel operating software stack, so depends on bringing much of its data in from what it considers to be the industry leaders in discrete areas. It is always developing the system, and is currently working on automated VHF communications, so the AI skipper will talk and interact with other vessels whether they are driven by AIs or people.

Should any readers be concerned with the dystopian vision that AIs talking to AIs over the radio will result in the airways being populated by cacophonies of dolphin-esque AI clicks as they shed English for something quicker and more efficient, Rooney made things clear: “Our voice

generation work for VHF communication is for the purposes of human oversight, often by third parties such as the coastguard or vessel traffic authorities, so it’s clear and optimised radio English and will stay that way.”

Guardian AI is already a modular autonomous vessel control system capable of IMO Level 4+ autonomy, allowing for high-fidelity situational awareness, tactical path routing and intelligent vessel control.

It has only become this by making the best partnerships. In terms of what Hefring brings to this autonomy party, it largely boils down to the value and fragility of equipment that autonomous vessels are likely to carry.

One of the benefits of marine autonomous vessels is that they can go longer, harder or faster than crewed vessels. Or that’s the theory. But talking to Rooney and Given, this ostensible benefit represents a double-edged sword: leaving the human crew on the dockside means the vessel might be able to, for example, go faster and obtain more data more quickly, but that human crew was the first line ‘sensor’, and a very accurate one when it came to noticing matters such as a slightly different sea state.

This is a key area where the Hefring IMAS comes in.

In the past, a skipper or crew might have started getting beaten about a bit and backed off or changed approach to protect the equipment, data quality or just themselves, and IMAS does exactly the same, only better.

“IMAS was initially designed to be a decision-making aid for human skippers,” says Given. “It can notice things like a slight change in accelerations or impacts before a human

It is always developing the system, and is currently working on automated VHF communications, so the AI skipper will talk and interact with other vessels whether they are driven by AIs or people

skipper can, so will advise on safe speeds for the conditions that take into account the maximum likely forces.

“In a very similar way to how IMAS informs a human skipper of a safe speed or passage plan for the safety and well-being of passengers or crew, IMAS can also inform an AI skipper of a safe speed or passage plan to protect the vessel’s hull integrity, the quality of its collected data or its expensive and fragile equipment.”

In this example, concerning the chain of command of the AIs aboard, the IMAS system sits quite high up as it is making fairly fundamental decisions such as the speed and direction of the vessel, which is appropriate for the situation at the time and also predicted events.

Tom Rooney emphasises the benefits of this integration: “The synergy between GuardianAI and IMAS will redefine how autonomous vessels interact with their environments.

IMAS acts as the ‘human feel’ in an autonomous setting, allowing vessels to respond dynamically to real-time

conditions. This partnership enables a holistic approach to autonomy, ensuring both crewed and uncrewed vessels can navigate safely and efficiently.”

While hydrograpic survey is an early adopter of autonomous vessel systems and one that felt appropriate to talk about at Ocean business, this collaboration and others like it could be set to enhance maritime operations across various sectors, including search and rescue, law enforcement, defence, offshore support, crew transfer, and the leisure industry.

Future plans

Hefring Marine and Marine AI will continue joint product development and system enhancements to expand the capabilities of autonomous vessel operations.

The scalable nature of this technology allows it to be implemented across a wide range of vessel types, from small uncrewed autonomous boats acting alone or in swarm configurations to large passenger ships.

This is not a technology that awaits far over the horizon.

It came as a surprise that according to Rooney, once the tech teams from Marine AI and Hefring Marine get working together, which is happening imminently, the lion’s share of the integration will take about a fortnight.

I guess that stands to reason considering Marine AI’s model is built upon selecting what it believes are industry leading third-party solutions and quickly and efficiently integrating them into its software stack.

We also spoke briefly about Marine AI’s location in Plymouth.

It is no accident that this industry-leading firm is based there as this deep-water port in the South West of England is home to the National Centre for Coastal Autonomy.

The NCCA is fast becoming a leader in coastal autonomy with a fleet of advanced autonomous vessels, sub-surface platforms, and scientific buoys.

These innovations, based in Plymouth, will create the UK’s first autonomous coastal observing system. Many companies are either being founded in or relocating to the city and it’s encouraging to see that the Icelandic company Hefring is so excited to have a tentacle in this crucible too.

Fundamental to Plymouth’s development as a marine autonomy hub was the Autonomous Ship project, the vessel setting sail on the world’s first autonomous Atlantic crossing in June 2022.

Marine AI, MSubs, IBM and ProMare provided the system that enabled the vessel’s remarkable journey.

A report that looks specifically at Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs) will paint a bleak picture of the industry and why it is not developing as expected.

’Significant technological gaps’ are limiting the widespread adoption and full autonomy of USVs, the report, by the US marine autonomy specialist Janus Defense reveals in its annual report, Janus Review.

In a look into the global USV industry, the report has found reluctance around intellectual property sharing, concerns about competitive advantage and the absence of agreed industry standards are holding things up in an industry that author Jack Dougherty says is ‘undoubtedly the future’.

“USV technology is at a crossroads,” says Dougherty. ”It is undoubtedly the future. But progress is slower than it should be. The reality is that developing a new USV requires heavy upfront investment in R&D, testing and certification, costs that must be recouped over a small number of sales.

“Unlike automotive start-ups that can enter the market with well-established supply chains and contract manufacturers, USV companies often have to build their own infrastructure from the ground up, further increasing costs.

“Ultimately, the low-volume nature of the

technological progress. Until USVs become more widespread and production volumes increase, these challenges will continue to shape the industry’s growth.”

One of the issues highlighted is that every USV manufacturer creates their own User Interface (UI), which it says is often ‘reinventing the wheel’, leading to wasted effort, higher costs and slower innovation cycles.

“If there was an open-source UI and standardised API (Application Programming Interface) for USVs, everyone would jump on board immediately,” the report says. “Modular autonomy components, easily assembled like Legos, would accelerate innovation, reduce development costs, and allow users to easily tailor their systems to specific mission needs.”

There are also problems with recruitment and finding the specialists required ‘who can bridge multiple disciplines and thirve in an industry that lacks the structure and predictability of more mature fields’.

The report is due to be released imminently.

SUBSEA MICROPILES INSTALLS LOCKHEED MARTIN TECH

Offshore foundations engineering company Subsea Micropiles has launched a micropile anchor based on technology now exclusively licensed to it from US defence and aerospace manufacturer Lockheed Martin

Subsea Micropiles says the micropile anchor, the first of which it has installed for the Orkney Harbour Authority in Scotland, will pose ‘a highly beneficial disruption’ to the offshore industry, enabling smaller vessels and remote seabed drilling systems to be used in large construction jobs, cutting costs and environmental impact.

Lockheed Martin developed the core subsea micropile technology to secure its Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion platforms to the seabed, and has now licensed it exclusively to Subsea Micropiles, which was founded in 2017 by Derek Robertson, former US Navy Officer and business lead for Micropiles at Lockheed Martin.

Micropile technology

Micropiles are tiny in the world of marine civil engineering – just 300mm in diameter – and are bored or drilled into the seabed to anchor subsea structures such as pipelines, or stabilise constructions such as offshore platforms or wind turbines.

They can be installed in difficult seabed conditions and where soil conditions are problematic or space is congested, and can be installed at an angle to accommodate axial and lateral loads. They are connected via couplings to achieve the desired pile length, which can vary from 6 to 20m depending on soil/rock type and strength. Once installed, central reinforcement bar and cementitious grout allow for load transfer into the bearing soil or rock.

For subsea applications, a robotic seabed drill is used to install and grout micropile anchor foundations. Mimicking the root piles of trees, the group response of multiple piles represents a highly efficient distributed anchor solution, capable of withstanding large loads.

Anchor jobs can be done with robotic drilling equipment and without heavy construction cranes, using smaller and more available work vessels at a time when the larger vessels are in short supply.

Micropile benefits

“The limited availability of large crane vessels to support construction poses a significant risk to the schedule and viability of projects in all markets, both large and small,” Robertson told Maritime Journal. “By keeping our crane requirements below 200t and only requiring a crane at the front of our offshore assembly line as part of industrialising our solution, Subsea Micropiles can take advantage of the lowest cost and largest selection of vessels on the global market.

“The offshore construction market is vast, and the planet will increasingly depend on sustainable development of ocean resources for food and energy for decades to come. Soil interventions are the essence of offshore construction, and Subsea Micropiles provides a literal and figurative ‘platform technology’ for a sustainable offshore economy.

“As part of a wider market for offshore anchors and foundations, the growth of the global offshore wind market to 2050 will require a greater number of soil interventions than all

those preceding in human history, yet soil conditions pose the greatest cost and schedule risk to offshore projects. These circumstances drive a unique opportunity for innovative approaches to anchors and foundations, and for capturing a significant share of the offshore construction market.”

“We have invested heavily in the design of micropiled structures, development of new subsea drilling equipment, and the implementation of highly productive drilling technology with our industry partners at Mincon,” said Robertson.

MINTMECH DELIVERS AUTOMATED SEABED SAMPLING

From wind turbines receiving cargo by drone to unmanned drilling rigs producing oil, offshore operations are being automated

For geotechnical exploration vessels, retrofitting automation solutions one at a time can help companies enhance safety and stay competitive, says Laurie Thornton, director of specialist offshore engineering firm MintMech.

Whether building a bridge, installing a wind turbine or deploying a mooring station for an offshore platform, success depends on a good understanding of the seabed and the geotechnical exploration phase of a project is crucial to gaining this understanding. Accurate and efficient site investigation (SI) is crucial to avoid overlooking potential issues in the seabed’s composition because undetected problems can significantly escalate project costs.

In extreme cases, when a project is already well under way, the ramifications of unexpected issues can be two or three times the planned total project cost.

On the other hand, an under-specified or poorly executed site investigation could misrepresent the site’s stratigraphy. If the seabed is competent, but incorrectly reported to be weathered or otherwise fractured, developers might overengineer the foundations. Over-specifying solutions leads to more money and time spent and lower margins, so designers need to know exactly what’s down there.

Whether building a bridge, installing a wind turbine or deploying a mooring station for an offshore platform, success depends on a good understanding of the seabed and the geotechnical exploration phase of a project is crucial to gaining this understanding

Quality at the core

Core samples are the foundation of a site investigation. Better cores lead to a deeper understanding of the seabed, and with better understanding comes reduced project risk. Achieving this quality depends heavily on the drilling process, with several key factors that drilling teams must constantly manage if they are to obtain reliable core samples – for example, contending with heave from swell. Automating to mitigate against these factors can free up labour and greatly improve both the quality and consistency of cores, which may represent the only physical deliverable or product from a site investigation. They may be stored, referenced and retested for decades, so the industry’s focus on true representation of the stratigraphy cannot be undervalued. While various technologies have significantly improved the ability to manage heave motion, it remains a critical consideration in offshore operations. Traditional passive heave compensation (PHC) systems use a pneumatic spring to

stabilise the drill string but require a reaction force from the seabed — weight on bit (WOB) — to properly counteract vessel motion. When the seabed geology is soft or the drill bit is not touching the seabed, this reaction force is lost, causing the PHC to stop compensating for vessel motion.

By retrofitting automated active heave compensation (AHA/AHC) systems, whereby the drill position is no longer dependent on the seabed reaction force, the drill bit position can be controlled regardless of the ground conditions, improving both quality and consistency of cores. Similarly, the ability to maintain the drill bit position when the drill bit is not touching the seabed improves borehole stability during downhole tool changeovers.

Minimising heave motion is important because the vertical motion increases the risk of inconsistent WOB — a critical variable while drilling. If WOB is too high, the driller risks damaging the bit, deforming the drill string or crushing the formation and reducing core quality, especially when working with soft or fractured geologies. Excessive WOB can also stress drilling equipment, leading to higher maintenance costs and operational inefficiencies. Conversely, If WOB is too low, penetration rate will drop, the bit might bounce and hole cleaning might be impacted as smaller cuttings are not flushed out. WOB is traditionally reported via a weight gauge on the driller’s console, but ensuring accuracy requires nonstop monitoring, which is labour intensive.

An automated weight on bit (AWOB) system immediately removes this variability. The driller uses their field experience to determine the appropriate WOB for the situation, then sets

■ Laurie Thornton, director of specialist offshore engineering firm MintMech

the AWOB to a specific target value, which it will not exceed – 2.1 tonnes, for example. An AWOB system not only frees up the driller’s attention for other dynamic variables, but also improves the consistency of the core by maintaining constant WOB throughout its length.

Tool handling

Traditionally, tooling is brought up to the rooster box and manually moved to drill centre by a crew member “manriding” in the rooster box. Doing so is potentially dangerous because of the stored energy in such platforms — even a near miss forces operations to stop while the issue is investigated.

Using an automated tool handler arm to manoeuvre tooling from the deck to above drill centre for deployment eliminates the risk of human error and injury, ensuring operations run safely and smoothly. The handler can even be remotely controlled from a sealed cabin on deck, further protecting the operator from the elements. Some retrofittable remote tool handlers can simply be installed with brackets and bolts, rather than welded, negating the extra cost, risk and licensing requirements of hot work. This also reduces time in port between swings, as no third-party contractors are necessary, and the operation doesn’t impact normal mobilisation.

Oil money

In oil and gas, automation is well established. The world’s first fully automated oil and gas platform, Oseberg H, was launched in Norway in 2018. Oseberg H is controlled entirely remotely and has no crew quarters, not even a toilet. The

project millioncost about £600 million (€700 million) and will produce up to 110 million barrels of oil at around $20 per barrel for the next two or three decades.

But budgets are smaller in renewables. Global capital expenditure on offshore wind, for instance, is estimated to be 10 times lower than on oil and gas — roughly $50 billion compared to $500 billion. Where budgets are tighter, gradual retrofitting is likely a more viable method for creating fit-forpurpose geotechnical exploration vessels.

The industry needs a safe, reliable and agile geotech fleet if it is to meet the UK government’s ambitious target of generating 55GW of wind power by 2030. Updating legacy equipment by automating processes one at a time not only helps firms comply with today’s increasingly stringent health and safety regulations, but also increases production capability by boosting the quality of their core samples, expanding their operational periods and making their tenders more competitive.

As power electronics, control systems and computer intelligence become cheaper, automation becomes more cost-effective and accessible. 2023 saw the first unmanned HVDC platform at Dogger Bank, and we’ll likely continue to see automation adopted into the industry, not only for safety and cost but also for operational efficiency. Who knows, in a few years offshore marine drilling teams might be able to work from home.

The first direct power link between Germany and the UK has moved ahead with 5,000 tons of concrete poured to begin a giant converter station and subsea cabling work now under way.

The €2.8 billion NeuConnect project will be one of the world’s largest interconnectors, and will connect Wilhelmshaven in northern Germany with the Isle of Grain in Kent.

Around 725km of land and subsea cables will transmit 1.4GW of electricity between the two locations in both directions, with the aim of boosting energy security in both countries.

The 5,000 tons of concrete has been poured as part of a 17,000m2 base for the UK’s converter station, which had Siemens Energy piling works carried out earlier this year, in total 1,800 piles being drilled and set.

Offshore cabling, being undertaken by cabling giant Prysmian, is under way and expected to be completed by 2027, when trial operations will begin.

“As one of the world’s longest interconnectors, this phase of works is very much a first stage in a much longer 725km cabling marathon – we are not complacent about the scale of works to be completed, and close working with our industry partners will be crucial in keeping this vital new energy

UK OFFSHORE CARBON CAPTURE WINS BACKING

UK government backing of £21.7 billion (€25.5 billion) has been given to an Eni-operated carbon capture project being called ‘the backbone’ of one of the world’s most advanced clusters

Construction will begin this year on the Liverpool Bay CCUS project, which will be operated by Eni, the Italian multinational energy company whose depleted natural gas reservoirs under the seabed in the bay will be used to store CO2. It is part of the HyNet project.

“The project itself foresees the efficient re-purposing of part of the offshore platforms as well as 149km of onshore and offshore pipelines, and the construction of 35km of new pipelines to connect industrial emitters to the Liverpool Bay CCS network,” Eni says.

Industries such as cement manufacturers, waste plants and hydrogen production plants across the northwest of England and North Wales will send emissions through the pipelines to the reservoirs, which have a storage capacity of 4.5 million tonnes of CO2 a year in the first phase, with the potential to increase it to an annual 10 million tonnes by the 2030s.

Existing gas infrastructure will be re-purposed, such as the pipelines and injection wellheads, so a large range of vessels will be required to support the work – as well as the cable layers, Platform Supply Vessels, Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels, dive support and ROVs. Monitoring equipment will include seismic monitoring systems, well pressure sensors and leak detection systems.

The project itself foresees the efficient re-purposing of part of the offshore platforms as well as 149km of onshore and offshore pipelines, and the construction of 35km of new pipelines to connect industrial emitters to the Liverpool Bay CCS network

”The strategic agreement with the UK government paves the way for the industrial-scale development of CCS, a sector in which the United Kingdom reaffirms its leadership thanks to the promotion of a regulatory framework that aims to strengthen the development of CCS and make it fully competitive in the market,” said Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi.

Other European CCUS projects

The UK is far from being alone when it comes to CCUS projects, a handful of which include the following:

● Norway is running many offshore storage projects, notably Sleipnir & Snøhvit, which has been operational since 1996; Northern Lights, which announced completion in October 2024; and Trudvang, which is aiming to store 9 million tonnes a year by 2029.

● In the Netherlands, the Porthos project aims to store 2.5 million tonnes a year beneath the North Sea, also in depleted gas fields, and Aramis has a more ambitious target of 22 million tonnes a year with operations due to be going ahead by 2030, according to Reuters

● In Denmark, CO2 emissions from Antwerp, Belgium were injected into the depleted Nini West oil field in the North Sea as part of Project Greensand. Carbon dioxide was transported by ship to the field before being stored beneath the sea.

● And in Germany, the Wilhelmshaven CO2 export terminal is being developed to build a CO2 liquefaction and temporary storage facility at Wilhelmshaven, Germany’s only deepwater port, from where the gas could be shipped or piped to permanent storage sites under the North Sea.

Back in the UK, three other notable projects include the Northern Endurance Partnership, led by BP, which aims to store 20 million tonnes a year under the North Sea off the northeast English coast; Viking CCS, operated by Harbour energy, in the depleted Viking gas field in the North Sea; and Poseidon, by no means the smallest, with a planned capacity of 40 million tonnes a year in the Leman gas field.

OFFSHORE GRID FOUNDATIONS

North Sea transmission system operators (TSOs) have come together to coordinate offshore grids and implement cross-border projects

At a press conference at last week’s WindEurope conference in Copenhagen, the so-called Offshore TSO Collaboration (OTC) presented a pilot study that named the North Sea ‘Europe’s green power plant’.

The move aims to secure an ‘independent, affordable and decarbonised energy supply’ for itself.

TSOs have been working towards joint grid development for the past three years, with infrastructure to eventually be developed to combine offshore wind capacity in the North, Irish and Celtic seas (collectively known as the Northern Seas).

“The initial results of the joint study demonstrate how a regional approach to offshore grid development in the Northern Seas can offer both economic and environmental benefits for all Europeans,” said the statement.

A grid map shows cross-border projects, which are being considered as part of a broader offshore regional grid in the Northern Seas, ’maximising synergies and cost efficiencies’.

Early stages

Such an ambitious project will take time, and press officer Mathias Fischer said there was no specific information on the actual physical work as yet.

Plans are being laid for a ‘2GW Program’, a ‘one fits all’ standardised platform to connect 14 high-voltage direct current (HVDC) offshore grid connection systems with a transmission capacity of 2GW each in the North Sea, seven in Germany, seven in the Netherlands.

The initial results of the joint study demonstrate how a regional approach to offshore grid development in the Northern Seas can offer both economic and environmental benefits for all Europeans

The platform design contains four transformers to increase the energy collected from surrounding wind farms to a higher voltage before it enters the converter halls. An innovative cooling system in the platform circulates oil that is cooled by surrounding air, thus reducing the number of auxiliary systems and the need for maintenance.

“As the continent faces overlapping climate, energy, geopolitical and security challenges, the need for greater energy independence and resilience has never been more urgent,” says the OTC (Offshore TSO Collaboration), which comprises CEOs from the likes of Statnett, Amprion Offshore, TenneT, Elia Group, EirGrid, Energinet, National Grid (UK) and RTE.

“Energy independence must begin at sea and that there will no successful energy transition in Europe without

developing the wind potential of our seas, with offshore wind farms and the grids that connect them to the shore. The North Sea holds immense potential with regard to providing Europe with reliable, clean and affordable energy.

“However, unlocking this potential will require coordinated European action and the development of the necessary offshore and onshore infrastructure to transport offshore wind power from generation sites to onshore consumption centres. Collaboration is fundamental, as renewable energy resources are unevenly distributed across Europe.”

Multi-terminal hubs

At the heart of the grid infrastructure will be ‘multi-terminal hubs’ which will control the electricity coming in from offshore wind farms with a DC (direct current) switchgear system that will connect all DC lines with each other.

Grid connection systems from the North Sea and shoreside DC connections can be linked with each other, and where a converter and substation are also built, the electricity will be fed into a three-phase grid on site – contributing to a secure and stable power grid.

Tne converter and substation will also accept onshore wind.

The first three multi-terminal hubs are being built in Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony, in Germany. At Schleswig-Holstein, the Heide multi-terminal hub will be connected to the offshore wind farms LanWin2 and LanWin3, with the underground cable NordOstLink connecting them.

Up to 4GW of offshore wind energy will be fed through this into the power grid from 2030, TenneT, the Dutch TSO.

The necessary onshore infrastructure plans have not been included but will be considered ‘in other planning exercises’.

A ‘bomb hunt’ has been completed along a subsea pipeline route where CO2 will be sent to and stored in depleted gas fields in the North Sea near Rotterdam.

’Porthos’ is derived from the Port of Rotterdam CO₂ Transport Hub and Offshore Storage project, which is being run by the Port of Rotterdam and energy firms Gasunie and EBN to transport the amount of CO2 emitted by industry operating at the port to the subsea gas fields.

With the UXO work completed by hi-tech imaging and sonar spread technology onboard Allseas vessel Oceanic, cable-lay vessel Lorelay, also Allseas’, will now be able to install the 16-inch pipeline, which will stretch for 20 kilometres.

Oceanic is 129m long by 25m wide, can accommodate 120 persons and has two work-class ROVs to carry out the subsea work.

Offshore pipe-lay vessel Lorelay was built in 1974 and also has an ROV that can be used to a depth of 4,000 metres.

Allseas has been contracted to install, bury and commission the pipeline connecting the future compressor station at the Maasvlakte.

Plastic insulation will coat the pipe to retain the heat inside it, and a concrete weighted coating will increase its stability on the seabed.

OPTIMISING METHANOL USE WITH FUEL CELLS IN SHIPPING

Fuel cells leveraging methanol reformer technology offer an efficient and sustainable propulsion solution, particularly for smaller vessels like tug boats, feeder ships and ferries, writes Dr Andreas Bodén, Senior Vice President & CTO PowerCell

Hydrogen and methanol: A synergistic approach to sustainable shipping

As the maritime industry works towards net-zero emissions, renewable fuels are recognised as central to long-term sustainable shipping. Optimised ship design, hybrid energy systems and clean technologies such as wind-assisted propulsion can help bridge the gap, but ultimately the industry needs access to renewable fuel and to use it efficiently.

Hydrogen Europe’s “Long-term Outlook on Zero-Emission Mobility” survey highlights e-fuels as the most promising option across various ship categories, including ferries, cruise ships, bulk carriers, small and large container vessels. With this focus on scarce e-fuels, methanol reformer technology is emerging as a key player by converting methanol into hydrogen onboard through steam reforming. This enables proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells to use methanol with 30% greater efficiency than internal combustion engines, offering a compact, high-power, and net-zero energy solution without the need for pure hydrogen infrastructure.

Hydrogen is often regarded as the cornerstone of the energy transition and is particularly well-suited for vessels with fixed or short routes, such as passenger ferries and service ships. However, widespread adoption in deep sea shipping presents logistical hurdles, including the availability of green hydrogen, energy density constraints, and challenges in storage, transport, and handling. Hydrogen must be stored at extremely low temperatures or high pressures, requiring complex and costly infrastructure, which limits its feasibility for large-scale maritime operations.

Methanol offers a practical alternative by serving as an efficient carrier of the hydrogen molecule. It is easy to store, transport and manage at ambient conditions, eliminating many of the challenges associated with hydrogen while still enabling the use of high-efficiency fuel cells. It can be produced from biomass, captured carbon and renewable electricity, offering a versatile and scalable approach to decarbonisation.

Maximising limited resources

As is the case for all e-fuels, there are challenges scaling production and securing final investment decisions for renewable methanol projects. Shipping may also struggle to access renewable fuels compared to other industries such as road transport and chemicals. On the other hand, the Methanol Institute reports that nearly 90 green methanol projects are in development, aiming for an annual output of 9 million tons by 2027, some of which will support the marine sector.

Despite this optimism, renewable methanol is expected to remain a scarce and costly resource – according to Lloyd’s Register, an initial cost of around $1,000 per ton, significantly higher than conventional fuels. As a result, ship owners must prioritise efficiency to reduce fuel consumption and mitigate operational expenses.

Methanol offers a practical alternative by serving as an efficient carrier of the hydrogen molecule. It is easy to store, transport and manage at ambient conditions, eliminating many of the challenges associated with hydrogen while still enabling the use of high-efficiency fuel cells

While methanol offers higher energy density than hydrogen and ammonia, it still lags behind traditional hydrocarbon fuels. Lloyd’s Register notes that vessels require approximately two times more methanol than conventional fuel oil for equivalent energy output, emphasising the need for more efficient propulsion systems.

Fuel cells: Enhancing efficiency

Fuel cells leveraging methanol reformer technology offer an efficient and sustainable propulsion solution, particularly for smaller vessels like tug boats, feeder ships and ferries.

■ Dr Andreas Bodén, Senior Vice President & CTOPowerCell

By converting methanol into hydrogen, they achieve netzero greenhouse gas emissions while consuming around 30% less fuel than internal combustion engines. Their high efficiency increases operational range while reducing fuel storage needs and minimises maintenance due to fewer moving parts.

Additionally, fuel cells provide instantaneous, reliable power with lower noise and vibration, therefore improving onboard comfort. This is particularly valuable for passenger vessels, where a quieter and smoother ride improves the travel experience.

Meanwhile, larger vessels, including container ships, can employ fuel cells for auxiliary power, eliminating emissions from fossil-fuel-based generators during port operations. In this case, renewable methanol significantly reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 80%, while completely eliminating sulphur oxide and particulate matter emissions.

These benefits are amplified when employing fuel cell reformer technology designed to minimise local pollutants.

Navigating sustainability and efficiency

The International Maritime Organization’s revised greenhouse gas strategy aims for net-zero emissions in international shipping by 2050, with interim milestones set for 2030 and 2040. Meeting these objectives necessitates efficient renewable fuel use and innovative propulsion systems. Ongoing research and development efforts are focused on increasing the longevity and performance of fuel cell systems to ensure their widespread adoption in maritime applications. With maritime transport accounting for 3% of global human GHG emissions, reducing the sector’s carbon footprint remains a key priority to many. Fuel cells with methanol reformers offer a pragmatic solution. Whether driving smaller

vessels or supporting auxiliary power on deep-sea ships, this technology helps to bridge the gap between current fuel limitations and the transition to more sustainable shipping practices. However, widespread adoption will require investment in renewable methanol production, infrastructure development and supportive policies to scale these solutions effectively.

As the industry moves toward net-zero emissions, fuel cell technology is emerging as a viable solution. By offering efficiency, scalability and compatibility with various lowcarbon fuels, fuel cells contribute to reducing reliance on conventional fossil fuels and support shipowners in meeting evolving energy demands and stricter emissions regulations.

Rolls-Royce confirms methanol engine development

Rolls-Royce Power Solutions is developing methanol internal combustion engines for vessels ‘right now’, Applications engineer Peter Gommeringer told a technical webinar held by the Workboat Association. Batteries, he said, are not the best option for Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs), and he also ruled out hydrogen and ammonia as potential fuels.

“We believe in methanol for high-speed and long-range applications,” he said. “Energy density is about half that of diesel, better than most of the alternatives. We are sure that green methanol will become significant in the future.

“We are developing the technology right now for methanol combustion engines, and it could be single fuel or dual-fuel combustion engines. What we see at the moment is the availability of methanol in the ports is quite limited, so we are waiting for a clear signal from the market.

“We are sure that green methanol will become significant in the future, and we will provide methanol engines in the future.”

When it comes to CTVs, however, size matters, he said – and the smaller the vessel, the less appropriate a methanol solution would be.

“With 35-metre CTVs it’s much easier to implement than in the 25m vessels but we don’t know what the future will bring, to be honest,” he said. “There’s pressure to decarbonise in the offshore wind market so I can imagine there will be a lot of dual-fuel engines in the market, but it also depends on the availability of the fuel.

“If it’s a dual fuel you can just go back to diesel but there will be a trade-off. You either optimise for diesel or you optimise for methanol. It will not be possible with a high-performance engine to switch from 100% methanol to 100% diesel.”

In conclusion, Gommeringer said methanol was the best alternative to diesel for the CTV market because:

● Batteries are not an option for high-speed vessels with long ranges

● Hydrogen systems are too complex and heavy, with low energy density

● Ammonia is too toxic and probably only suitable for deep-sea shipping

● Drop-in’ fuels such as E-diesel and HVO are attractive, but had availability and cost challenges.

CTV developer Tidal Transit is a firm believer in electric propulsion for getting

to, from and around wind farms, and director Leo Hambro told Maritime Journal that quite simply, it was the most efficient way to do it.

“Obviously Rolls-Royce sells engines and therefore are not going to be supporters of batteries,” he said. “The very simple facts are electrical propulsion is the most efficient; electrical propulsion has lower maintenance costs and downtime; our clients produce electricity where we go every day that can be used to charge the boats.

“Offshore Wind is the one of the few marine sectors (like ferries) that can already work with electric vessels. This is opened up even more by offshore charging.”

“Today’s batteries are quite big and heavy,” said Gommeringer. “This is especially an issue for fast vessels and vessels with long ranges. However they might be an option if energy density improves a lot; the wind park is very close to the shore; vessel speed can be reduced.

“Of course offshore charging would help to go with batteries. But with today’s battery technology I assume this would still just be possible for very few CTVs. This would need to be checked case by case.”

Sonardyne has launched a new shallow water dynamic positioning (DP) reference system which joins its renowned SPRINT-Nav underwater vehicle navigation portfolio.

Building on the company’s decade-long expertise in hybrid acoustic-inertial navigation systems, SPRINT-Nav DP integrates high-grade inertial navigation with doppler velocity log (DVL) technology in a single, pre-calibrated unit.

“SPRINT-Nav DP represents a leap forward in shallow water vessel positioning,” said Duncan Rigg, business development manager – vessel systems, at Sonardyne.

“By removing GNSS dependencies, we’re enabling operators to work more efficiently and dependably in challenging environments.”

Offshore wind demand

SPRINT-Nav DP was developed in response to SPRINT-Nav customer’s requests and an increasing demand for shallow water DP operations from the offshore wind farm sector.

The system has undergone extensive trials and validation tests to ensure it maintains the mandatory class requirements as an alternative position reference into a vessel’s DP system.

What makes SPRINT-Nav DP different is that it provides accurate and reliable positioning without the need for a GNSS signal. This makes it ideal for a wide range of shallow

REMOVING GNSS DEPENDENCY FOR SHALLOW WATER VESSEL POSITIONING

water operations, including offshore renewable energy and nearshore work where GNSS signals are often spoofed, blocked or distorted by nearby structures.

This latest addition to the SPRINT-Nav family

aims to save DP vessel operators both time and money. The DVL bottom-lock technology, effective up to 230m depth, means there is no need to deploy sensors or other equipment as the seabed itself is used as the positioning reference.

DENMARK TESTS FIRST DATADRIVEN REMOTE PILOTAGE

Two Danish companies have completed the first test of a fully remote data-driven pilotage operation before running a test programme already approved by the Danish Emergency Management Agency

The programme by DanPilot and Danelec will be run in the Kattegat and western Baltic Sea, for the first time allowing pilots to guide selected ships through Danish waters without boarding them physically.

“Remote pilotage is not only a technological breakthrough – it is a strategic step towards safer and more sustainable shipping,” said CEO of Danelec, Casper Jensen. “We are proud to deliver the technological infrastructure that enables safe navigation without the physical presence of a pilot. Here, cybersecurity – a cornerstone of our technology – is a prerequisite for implementing the solution safely and at scale in the global maritime sector.”

The aim is to improve pilot safety and reduce fuel consumption for ships without compromising navigational safety and in this way, ‘support Denmark’s maritime leadership in the shift towards safer and more sustainable shipping’.

DanPilot and Danelec will test the technology on at least 50 operations before seeking approval from classification societies, but this first step has proven a resounding success.

We thought, how can we make a system to get data home as simple as possible, with as few moving parts as possible, and when we found the Danish company, Danelec, was already doing that we wondered if we could use it for remote pilotage – and we have ‘‘

“Remote pilotage makes our work safer and helps reduce both CO₂ emissions and operational costs for our customers,” said Erik Merkes Nielsen, CEO of DanPilot. “We have worked intensively towards this for six years, and now we can finally test it in practice. It has the potential to become a major paradigm shift in how pilotage is carried out.”

First test run

Speaking to Maritime Journal after piloting a mid-sized container vessel through the Danish part of the Baltic Sea together with a colleague in four-hour shifts, DanPilot’s Head of Project and licensed pilot Brian Schmidt Nielsen said it was a very special day.

“This is the first time we have done this, without the pilot on board the vessel,” he said. “We are the first one to use ship data from shore. For many years, we simply didn’t have the bandwidth to get the data from the vessel home, and then Starlink came along.

“We thought, how can we make a system to get data home as simple as possible, with as few moving parts as possible,

and when we found the Danish company, Danelec, was already doing that we wondered if we could use it for remote pilotage – and we have.”

It works by having a small vessel remote server – a device about the size of a cigar box, he says – installed on the vessel to be piloted.

A cable connects that to the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR), and is then sent via satellite from the VDR to the vessel remote server.

“We stay on the right side of the firewall, so we cannot access any of the controls of the vessels or anything like that,” he says.

Communications between the remote pilots in their shoreside control room and the crew on the container vessel were done using a Teams-like video call developed by DanPilot, rather than a radio.

“Our main job is still going to be traditional pilotage,” says Nielsen. “We think about 10 per cent of our customers will use remote pilotage, and they will be special ships in special areas, ships that come in and out of Danish waters regularly, perhaps four times a year.

“It’s not as sexy as the traditional pilotage, but it’s common for a pilot to spend as much time transiting to work as a pilot as he or she actually spends piloting, and if this can reduce some of those hours, more can be spent on the pilotage.

“The crew are very happy about the system and they see the benefits, such as not having to have their rest time disturbed by pilots embarkation or disembarkation.

“I don’t think it’s necessarily safer, but I think it’s just as safe,” says Nielsen. “I don’t have to climb the pilot ladder in all sorts of weather conditions, but there are other uncertainties as soon as you go remote.”

Tenders are invited for three Crew Transfer Vessels to work on wind farms owned by energy firm EnBW in the Baltic Sea.

Baltic 1 was inaugurated in May 2011, and comprises just 21 wind turbines, with a total generation capacity of 50MW, by today’s standards a tiny project, but one that has lasted 14 years and is still going.

Vessels operate from the small harbour of Barhöft near Stralsund in Germany to service the turbines, which are spread over an area of seven km2 and are about 16 kilometres offshore.

Baltic 2 is four times larger, comprising 80 wind turbines generating a total of 288MW. This farm is 32km north of the island of Rügen, Germany’s largest island off the Pomeranian coast in the Baltic Sea.

Baltic 2 covers 27km2. Water depths range from 23-44 metres, and depending on that, turbines are either mounted on steel piles, monopiles or jackets. Baltic 2 was commissioned in 2015.

MARITIME LAW FOCUS: GET YOUR TERMS RIGHT!

Using clearly defined and properly incorporated terms and conditions in contracts is not just good practice: it can be the difference between insurers paying out or denying a claim, writes Jennie Harris, at Ocean Legal

A recent Court of Appeal decision has highlighted a risk that marine businesses might overlook: that insurance policies may not be enforceable if the correct terms have not been used in the contract.

In the case of Lonham v Scotbeef, D&S Storage stored goods for Scotbeef under what it believed were standard industry terms.

When a large quantity of stored meat was found unfit for use, Scotbeef sued. D&S argued that their liability was limited under Food Storage and Distribution Federation terms but the court disagreed because D&S had not successfully used those terms in its contract with Scotbeef – so liability caps and exclusions didn’t apply.

D&S’s insurer, Lonham Group, then refused to pay out, relying on a breach of a key clause in the insurance policy that required D&S to trade on its approved trading terms and make sure the terms were used in its contracts. Because D&S had failed to use them effectively in practice, D&S’ insurer was within its rights to refuse cover.

What this means for commercial marine

Standard-form contracts are very common in the commercial marine industry, such as BIMCO contracts for charter parties, ship management and general agency agreements, contracts of affreightment and towage.

Many commercial combined marine policies will include similar provisions to those in the Lonham v Scotbeef case. Whether you’re a naval architect, ship manager, sale or charter broker, vessel operator or boatyard owner your insurance policy is likely to state explicitly that you must contract with clients on industry-standard or insurerapproved terms. These approved terms will contain clauses such as exclusions and limitations of liability and risk which are acceptable to insurers.

Failure to use these terms, or failure to properly incorporate them, can put you in breach of your insurance contract.

Why “proper incorporation” matters

Simply referencing terms is not enough. You must actively ensure that your clients are bound by them. In practice, that means:

● Obtaining written acceptance (or proof of acceptance) where possible

● Consistently using the same terms across your business

● Clearly referring to your terms in all quotations, order confirmations, contracts and invoices

● Providing a copy of those terms with your proposals. However robust your standard terms are, they may be unenforceable if not properly incorporated, leaving you without key defences and potentially voiding insurance cover in a claim.

Lessons from the court of appeal

In Lonham, the court interpreted the “Duty of Assured” clause strictly. D&S was required to take all reasonable and practical

steps to ensure their approved terms were incorporated. Their failure was not just a contract management oversight: it was a breach of a warranty under the Insurance Act 2015 (the “2015 Act”).

Under section 10 of the 2015 Act, any breach of warranty can suspend the insurer’s liability until the breach is remedied. Here, since the FSDF Terms weren’t used at all, the breach was ongoing, and the insurer had no liability for the resulting loss.

1. Review your insurance policy: Identify whether your cover is conditional on using specific terms

2. Where appropriate, use industry standard terms and read them carefully to ensure they are suitable

3. If necessary, work with your insurer/broker to get sign-off on your own terms

4. Ensure proper incorporation: Build procedures into your client onboarding to guarantee your terms are properly included and accepted

5. Train staff and review regularly: Make sure your team understands the importance of contract terms and carry out periodic reviews with your insurer/ legal advisor.

The message from Lonham v Scotbeef is loud and clear: failure to use, and properly incorporate, industry-standard or approved terms may not only expose your business to legal risk, it can void your insurance protection entirely. In a sector where claims can be high value and complex, this is a risk no commercial marine business can afford to take.

Protect your business: use the right terms and make sure they’re properly incorporated into your contracts.

Changes to the way customs declarations must be made for goods travelling in and out of the UK from the UK continental shelf come into effect on 1 June 2025.

Goods which exit the UK territorial waters (12nm) but stay within the UK continental shelf need to be declared and submitted, both on the outbound and inbound journey, at least one hour before the vessel departs UK port or arrives.

“The changes, first published in November 2024, will be a laborious task for those moving goods from within the UK to the UK Continental Shelf,” said Kerrie Forster, CEO, Workboat Association, in a communication to its members.

He warned that the changes will affect goods like cables, pipes, equipment for windfarms, oil and gas rigs.

Sound advice

Mr Forster has also given his advice to Workboat Association members on how to remain compliant with the new regulation, notify and prepare charterers/clients and importantly, how to ensure there is no misunderstanding of expectations.

Firstly, there are different options for customs declarations required for goods

moving between Great Britain and the UK Continental Shelf. There’s the option to use full declarations, simplified declarations, or a new ’Declaration by Conduct’ process for eligible low risk goods.

Eligible goods for ‘Declaration of Conduct’ must be in free circulation within the UK or meet criteria for ’Returned Goods Relief’. They

should not be prohibited, restricted, or excise goods [such as fuel].

He urged members to take responsibilityimporters, exporters, or their nominated representatives must ensure the correct type of customs declaration is made. They need an EORI number and access to the Government Gateway. ”Overall responsibility lies with the importer or exporter,” he said.

There are specific responsibilities when handling goods moving between Great Britain and the UK. On the Continental Shelf, if carriers are not completing the declaration themselves, they should carry out due diligence to ensure the declaration has been completed correctly before departure.

Carriers can take several steps to protect themselves when handling goods between Great Britain and the UK Continental Shelf.

Forster said it also makes sense to have process for dispute resolution written into contracts which include mechanisms such as arbitration or mediation, to handle any issues that may arise during the contract period.

MAIB ISSUES WARNING AFTER TUG ALMOST CAPSIZES

The near capsize of a small tug has prompted the UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) to issue warnings about safe speed and using a towline gob rope in its latest safety round-up

The safety alert, in MAIB’s latest Safety Digest, concerns what is a routine operation performed on a regular basis but with risks leading to disaster and potential foundering.

One dark winter’s evening, a small conventional tug was assisting a small cargo vessel to its berth. The MAIB did not give details of when, or indeed where.

The vessel’s pilot instructed the tug to approach the starboard quarter and pass its towline while the cargo vessel’s speed was about 6kts.

The towline was secured and although the tug was fitted with a gob wire and winch, its master decided not to use it on this occasion. The tug was positioned alongside the cargo vessel, the tug master taking care to keep the towline slack.

A few minutes later the tug master ‘lost concentration’ and inadvertently dropped back, causing the towline to come under tension, which led to the tug being towed sideways, girting and heeling over to an angle of 50o.

The tug master couldn’t control the tug and failed to operate the tow release from within the wheelhouse, but luckily the tug’s quick-thinking deckhand went aft and released the towline at the hook, allowing the tug to swiftly come upright, the cargo vessel later berthing without further incident.

Lessons

The MAIB notes that the sequence of events that led to the tug girting and nearly capsizing took just a few seconds, with only the swift action of the deckhand saving the vessel and crew.

Good communication between pilot and tug master before a towing connection is made is stated as ‘at the heart of’ safe ship-assist operations, particularly where harbour control/VTS will hear and share a common understanding of the plan.

MAIB considers the speed of 6kts was too fast and should have been kept below 2-3kts while the tug was connected, adding that conventional tugs should ‘almost always’ use a gob rope or wire.

Gob rope

The gob rope (occasionally known colloquially as a gog rope) is a device which in simple terms moves the tug’s towing point aft.

On conventional tugs the point of tow, be it a winch or tow hook, is often close to the mid-length of the vessel and well ahead of the propulsion units.

If the towline angle increases such that the lead is more from on the beam than over the stern, the tug can on occasion almost be towed sideways by its charge which, coupled with the point of tow being on or near the transverse centreline, can lead to the tug being heeled to a dangerous angle from which it is difficult to recover by manoeuvring alone.

The situation can be exasperated if deck hatches etc are left open, leading to down-flooding into the vessel’s interior, although there is no suggestion of this being a factor here.

A gob rope is simply a line passed over the towline well aft and handled manually or by a winch which, when fixed or hauled in, moves the point of tow aft with the lead maintained more over the tug’s stern, making the manoeuvre more manageable.

Speed

Speed is a factor that appears regularly in accident reports involving ship-assist tugs.

Escort or indirect towing involves a different procedure carried out at a relatively higher speed, the tug connected to the vessel’s stern and using the hydrodynamic effect from its underwater hull form rather than the actual towline to influence the ship’s heading.

As the vessel reduces speed and steerage way it becomes dependent on tugs to control its heading, the risk of girting greatly reduced, suggested by the comment that speed should have been 2-3kts.

Defining the transition from the basics of indirect to direct towing is subject to variables including the type of tug employed, but for bow tugs the risk of being overrun by the ship when connecting the towline due to high speed and the tug’s reduced amount of reserve power can have catastrophic results.

Global bunker supplier Peninsula has partnered with the University of Gibraltar to boost marine training and bridge skills gaps in alternative marine fuel handling.

The collaboration follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), under which both institutions will co-develop a framework focused on educating seafarers in alternative fuels, including LNG and biofuels.

“In line with the industry’s commitment to decarbonise, many of our customers are looking into alternative marine fuels such as LNG and biofuels for the first time, and skills gaps can be a barrier to adoption,” said John A. Bassadone, founder and CEO of Peninsula.

“Simply put, the demand on the seafarer community will increase and we want to be there to help customers close the skills gap.”

Personnel shortfall

The global shift toward cleaner fuels has exposed a critical shortfall in trained personnel. This initiative aims to ensure that seafarers are fully equipped to meet the increasing demands of a decarbonising shipping industry.

Aaron Lopez, head of the Maritime Academy at the University of Gibraltar, emphasised the importance of readiness.

“We need to ensure [seafarers] are equipped with the knowledge and skills to do this important job, particularly as the fuel landscape continues to evolve,” he said.

By combining academic expertise and industry insight, he added that this partnership will help support the wider maritime sector in transitioning to sustainable marine fuels through robust, forward-looking marine training.

Better safeguarding and fairer access to sea placements are urgently needed to support cadets starting careers in the maritime industry.

That’s according to The Hood, a social media and digital platform for the maritime industry, which said that without urgent reforms in marine recruitment and training, the maritime sector risks losing a vital pipeline of future talent.

“The seafaring industry is becoming a narrower tunnel and one that rarely gains attention unless it is catastrophic,” said Josephine Le, founder and managing director of The Hood.

“As an industry, we have a duty of care to our people, especially those on the front line at sea and those just starting their journey.”

Addressing exploitation

Research reveals that cadets face mounting challenges completing their training due to a severe shortage of onboard placements, leaving many vulnerable to exploitation in pursuit of required sea time.

According to the Institute for Human Rights and Business, 31% of seafarers are asked to pay recruitment fees, exposing cadets to potential abuse by unregulated agents and officials.

CALL FOR BETTER SEA CADET SAFEGUARDING

To address this, The Hood is introducing a more transparent system to track marine recruitment activity and improve marine training conditions.

Under the system, only licensed recruiters and certified employers with valid MLC documentation can access job listings, boosting trust and accountability.

The initiative aims to improve marine safety by protecting cadets and reinforcing standards in marine apprenticeships. It also supports broader efforts to improve marine training pipelines, ensuring young seafarers are not deterred from entering the industry due to systemic barriers or misconduct.

ESBJERG’S GROUNDBREAKING

NEW CO2 TERMINAL

Port Esbjerg’s new CO₂ terminal marks a milestone in Project Greensand’s ambition to establish the first full value chain for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the EU

The terminal will serve as a key hub for the temporary storage and shipping of liquefied CO₂, enabling permanent and safe offshore storage in the North Sea.

“The new terminal in Esbjerg unlocks the development of CCS in both Denmark and Europe. For us at the port, this is just the beginning of a new reality where CCS will play an increasingly important role,” says Dennis Jul Pedersen, CEO of Port of Esbjerg.

“We are not just starting a construction project – we are opening a new chapter, where Port Esbjerg plays a central role in the infrastructure needed for a greener Europe.”

Storage hub

The terminal will feature six large holding tanks, each capable of storing approximately 1,000 tonnes of liquefied CO₂ to be shipped for permanent storage in the Greensand reservoir.

When the tanks are full, the liquefied CO₂ will be loaded onto a dedicated carrier from Royal Wagenborg and shipped to the INEOS Nini platform in the Danish North Sea.

From there, it will be safely injected via pipeline into subsurface reservoirs approximately 1,800 metres beneath the seabed for permanent storage.

Construction of the terminal in Port Esbjerg is expected to complete in the Autumn this year, at which point INEOS Energy will take over the operation the first gateway for CCS logistics in EU, on behalf of the Greensand consortium.

There are plans to initiate offshore injection at the end of 2025 or beginning of 2026.

The European Commission estimates that by 2040, the EU will need to store 250 million tonnes of CO₂ annually to meet the Paris Agreement targets. CCS is also considered a key technology for reaching Denmark’s 2045 net-zero goals.

This development comes as Port Esbjerg is expanding significantly: Deepening of the fairway, new quay areas and increased capacity are all paving the way for the next generation of energy infrastructure – from offshore wind to CCS.

Belfast Harbour’s £90m port expansion

Work has begun on Belfast Harbour’s largest-ever port investment, a £90m project to transform its infrastructure for cruise and offshore wind support.

The development includes a new dual-purpose deepwater terminal, enabling Belfast to expand its role in marine renewables through offshore wind support and strengthen its status as a leading UK cruise destination.

“Having announced our ambitious new ’Advance Regional Prosperity’ strategy only a few months ago, it is exciting to be commencingwork on the single biggest investment project in Belfast Harbour’s history,” said Dr Theresa Donaldson, chair of Belfast Harbour Commissioners.

Huge investment

Belfast’s project is scheduled in two phases, with the first completed in time for the 2028 cruise season. The terminal will become the

This aligns with Northern Ireland’s net zero goals and the port’s Advance Regional Prosperity 2025–2029 strategy, which outlines over £300m in infrastructure investment.

“The plan from 2030 is to utilise the facility to support offshore wind development as well as cruise,” he said.

“As offshore wind technology evolves, ports will play an increasingly central role and Belfast Harbour is uniquely placed, through this investment, through our existing facility, our expertise, local supply chain and location to be a key enabler of the power stations of the future in the Irish, Celtic and North Seas.”

Cruise tourism already contributes up to GB£25m annually to the regional economy. With 146 cruise calls planned in 2025, the investment positions Belfast to further capitalise on these expanding markets.

PD Ports has announced plans to develop one of the UK’s largest offshore wind manufacturing and installation hubs – the Teesport Offshore Gateway – cementing Teesside’s role in the nation’s net zero and energy security goals.

The proposed £200 million project will unlock 180 acres of development space within the Teesport complex, the UK’s sixth-largest port.

“As the UK and the wider world turns its attention to large-scale renewable energy sources, here at PD Ports we see the opportunity – and the responsibility - to play our part by offering an offshore wind development site that is perfectly positioned to unlock the capability of our region, not only as a hub for trade and industry, but also to deliver the clean energy revolution,” said Frans Calje, chief executive of PD Ports.

A key feature of the development is a proposed deep-water riverside quay up to 1km in length with unrestricted access to the North Sea. The quay will be suitable for both floating and fixed-bottom wind installation vessels and will support all currently operating and planned offshore construction ships worldwide.

Although the project is in early stages and subject to variations on existing marine and planning consents, PD Ports has already

UK COMMITS TO RECORD SPENDING ON FLOOD DEFENCES

The UK government has committed £2.65 billion (€3.2 billion) to flood defences over two years as part of its ‘Plan for Change’

Steve Reed, Secretary of State for the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), said up to 1,000 projects would receive a share of the money, from tidal barrier schemes to local sea defences and farmland protection.

Major priorities include the Bridgwater Tidal Barrier scheme in Somerset, below, (£43 million); Derby Flood Risk Management (£35 million); 31 other projects to protect local communities (£140 million); urgent repair on defences damaged last winter (£36 million); fixing specific flood foundations (£36 million); and specific maintenance and repair (£72 million).

“As part of the Plan for Change, the Government is committing a record two-year investment of £2.65 billion with 52,000 properties set to benefit from new defences by March 2026,” DEFRA says. “To shore up creaking defences in need of repairs, funding will be re-prioritised for investment in muchneeded maintenance, benefiting a further 14,500 properties. This means a total of 66,500 properties will benefit from this funding.

“As well as protecting families from the devastation of flooding, the investment supports economic growth by protecting businesses, supporting jobs, and supporting a stable economy in the face of the increasing risk of flooding as a result of climate change.

“It will also protect farmland which has been badly hit by recent storms, in turn helping to safeguard farm businesses and farmers’ profits.”

As part of the Plan for Change, the Government is committing a record two-year investment of £2.65 billion with 52,000 properties set to benefit from new defences by March 2026. To shore up creaking defences in need of repairs, funding will be re-prioritised for investment in much-needed maintenance

Separately, a one-off £75 million (€91 million) fund has been set up for internal drainage boards (IDBs) to help them manage water levels for agriculture and environmental needs, ‘ensuring their crucial role in flood and water management is supported for years to come’.

In the Midlands city of Leicester, rivers will be targeted in 13 areas that will look at working with nature, with drainage, tree planting, new wetlands and flood water storage schemes.

Bridgwater Tidal Barrier

One of the most notable projects under the drive is the £250 million tidal barrier in Bridgwater, Somerset, which is led by

the Environment Agency and Somerset Council with input from the Somerset Rivers Authority.

The barrier is one of three main elements of the project: there will also be 4.3 kilometres of new flood defence banks and 2.8 kilometres of raised banks, plus fish and eel passage improvements at 12 sites upstream of the barrier.

The barrier, which has had its business case approved following topgraphical surveys on foot and by drone, discussions with local landowners and early ecological surveys, is hoped to reduce flood risks to more than 11,000 households and 1,500 businesses, according to the Somerset Rivers Authority.

Somerset suffered its worst flooding in 250 years in the winter of 2013-14, when a combination of heavy rainfall, high tides and a lack of river dredging – not for two decades –resulted in more than 600 houses and 17,000 acres of farmland being flooded.

Eighty-one roads were closed because of the flooding, the total land area flooded covered around 150km2 and the flooding itself lasted for around three months.

The Bridgwater Tidal Barrier is planned to be built in 2027.

Nearly a year since it started, the Skandia Gateway fairway deepening project at the Port of Gothenburg is making strides in marine civils while cutting its carbon footprint by 10,000 tons of CO2e.

As one of Sweden’s largest dredging projects in over 20 years, the initiative will deepen a five-kilometre fairway from 13.5 metres to 17.5 metres. This requires extensive quay reinforcement, with a commitment to reducing climate impact by 30%, from an estimated 31,000 to 21,000 tonnes of CO2e.

“To meet this ambition, we must first and foremost be ready to prioritise it highly in every decision we make, from material choices to transportation and construction techniques,” said Jan Andersson, project manager for Skandia Gateway.

“It also requires us to be creative and look for reduction opportunities beyond what is conventional.”

Sustainability measures

Among other things, Andersson said this means being willing to pay extra for environmentally friendly alternatives to materials like concrete and steel.

‘Green’ materials generally cost more, but with creativity and circular thinking, exceptions

to the rule can be found. One example where extra thought was given to both technique and material choices concerns the 1,500 piles that are driven through the quay, into the seabed, to stabilise the new quay.

A key sustainability measure includes replacing traditional concrete pile filling with recycled gravel from the project, reducing emissions while maintaining structural integrity.

The project’s climate impact is monitored three times a year and emissions have already dropped by 28%, with a projected decrease exceeding 30% by 2028.

Dredging is set to begin in Q3 2026, with the Swedish Maritime Administration implementing stricter environmental regulations. A new incentive model will reward contractors who exceed the project’s baseline sustainability targets.

Another key milestone has been reached in the construction of the new Scheldt tunnel in Antwerp with the deliberate breach of the river’s dyke.

A consortium of Belgian and Dutch companies is working on the €570 million project which will help alleviate traffic congestion in and around the city.

In October 2024, Jan De Nul, working as part of the TM COTU consortium, dug away 400 metres of the old dyke to make way for the first tunnel element coming from Zeebrugge.

In early December, Jan De Nul deliberately breached the dyke in a controlled manner to prevent an inadvertent, natural breach causing significant harm to the structure. This milestone means that the tunnel construction is now officially situated in the river for the first time.

“We are once again taking a crucial step in realising the Scheldt Tunnel and the Oosterweel project, the site of the century,” said Annick De Ridder, Minister of Mobility and Public Works:

“The Scheldt Tunnel is a key link in completing the Antwerp Ring. By relocating the dyke, we are creating significant space for ecologically valuable nature.”

In the coming months, Jan De Nul will continue working to receive the first tunnel

In February, anchor piles will be installed in the river to ensure the tunnel sections can be lowered into the Scheldt in a controlled manner. According to the schedule, all eight tunnel sections will be in place beneath the Scheldt by the end of 2025. The tunnel will open for cyclists in 2028, with motorised traffic following in 2030.

AI, AIS AND MARITIME SECURITY: A PROMISING FUTURE

Maritime security is a critical issue in an increasingly interconnected world and with the increase in maritime trade and the complexity of threats, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as an essential tool to enhance the security of the seas, writes Simon Jouan, Sales manager with Athanor Engineering, based in Paris

This article explores how AI is transforming maritime security, focusing on the manipulation of Automatic Identification System (AIS) data and its implications.

The AIS system is a fundamental tool for maritime navigation. It allows ships to communicate their position, speed and course, thus contributing to safety at sea.

However, this data can be manipulated, posing significant challenges for marine security: malicious actors can falsify their location or turn off their transponder to evade surveillance. Thanks to advanced algorithms, AI systems can process huge volumes of data in real time. For example, AI-powered maritime surveillance systems can identify suspicious behaviour, such as unexpected changes in trajectory or prolonged stops at sea, which could indicate illegal activities.

As ships have illegal activities generally cut off their AIS, this unexpected shutdown on board a ship can precisely signal the imminence of such activity. Even if it is increasingly true that the AIS system is hijacked by malicious actors, a market player is committed to using it to secure critical areas, such as offshore wind farms.

Offshore wind farm protection

In a context where the demand for clean energy continues to grow, offshore wind farm protection vessels are proving to be essential players in securing these infrastructures. Indeed, these facilities, which play a key role in the energy transition, must be protected against a multitude of threats, ranging from bad weather to fishing activities, not to mention other maritime hazards.

Protection vessels provide regular surveillance and patrol of wind areas. This vigilance allows for the early detection of suspicious or unauthorised activity, preventing incidents before they occur.

The defensive use of the AIS system allows them to create a community, with collaborative vessels monitoring the area and administrations (coast guard, maritime gendarmerie and others). Within these communities, he shares key information in a quantified way, ensuring that they are more responsive to incidents.

AIS data is also shared on maritime traffic analysis platforms, improving the training of AI systems to recognise normal patterns of maritime behaviour. When a vessel deviates from these patterns, an alert can be generated. For example, if a vessel that usually follows a well-defined trade route is navigating in less frequented or unusual waters, this may trigger an investigation. AI can also analyse historical data to identify trends and anomalies, strengthening the ability of authorities to respond quickly.

Recently, a commercial vessel with a curious trajectory in an area little frequented by commercial traffic attracted the attention of the administrations. This ship was actually about to transfer an illegal cargo.

Remaining challenges

Despite the undeniable benefits of AI in maritime security, several challenges remain.

The quality of the data, especially AIS, can vary, and the manipulation of this data further complicates the situation. In addition, the integration of AI into existing systems requires significant investments.

However, with the continued evolution of technologies and the improvement of machine-learning algorithms, it is likely that AI will play an increasingly central role in protecting seaways. Artificial intelligence represents a major advance for maritime security, offering powerful tools to detect and prevent threats. Data manipulation, and especially AIS, while challenging, can be countered by sophisticated AI systems that can analyse and interpret data effectively.

Recently, a commercial vessel with a curious trajectory in an area little frequented by commercial traffic attracted the attention of the administrations. This ship was actually about to transfer an illegal cargo

By investing in these technologies, maritime authorities can strengthen their ability to protect the seas and ensure the safety of global maritime trade.

Athanor Engineering was founded in 2016, and specialises in the manufacture of AIS systems (systems for receiving and analysing data, including AI), especially for maritime administrations such as national navies and customs.

The SeaWATCH solution makes it possible to monitor maritime traffic in real time and identify potential threats, while integrating artificial intelligence technologies to improve surveillance.

The WARSHIP AIS/X system offers advanced functions for military and surveillance operations, tailored specifically to the needs of administrations at sea.

CONFERENCE ON SECURITY RISKS AND GOING GREEN

Decarbonising the workboat industry must also run in parallel with vital security resilience, the first Seawork conference to be held outside the UK discussed in Rotterdam

The ‘chicken-and-egg’ situation that many feel the future fuels scenario has become was also a thread that ran through the sessions, which were predominantly about decarbonising the sector.

In a keynote speech, Brigadier General Rob de Wit, Head of Security with the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps (RNLMC), called on all users of the North Sea to contribute in a drive to improve resilience against what he sees as a growing geopolitical threat.

“The world has changed dramatically but are we resilient and if not, how do we prepare for it?” he asked. “We need to start to prepare ourselves – we have weathered many crises but we need to organise ourselves in the North Sea.”

He said a North Sea Maritime Security Centre had been set up to collect and analyse data on what is going on in the North Sea.

“The challenges are enormous, but all of the users of the North Sea should contribute,” he said. “They should share information with the Navy and coastguard. Improve cooperation. Being prepared is the definition of an effective deterrence. Waiting for disaster to happen will be far more expensive and dangerous. Governments and individuals have a role to play in making our societies more resilient.”

The world has changed dramatically but are we resilient and if not, how do we prepare for it. We need to start to prepare ourselves –we have weathered many crises but we need to organise ourselves in the North Sea

Brigadier General Rob de Wit, Head of Security with RNLMC

Keynote speaker Annet Koster, director of the Royal Association of Dutch Shipowners (KVNR), which hosted the event with Mercator Media, said decarbonisation and security resilience were equally important.

“Decarbonising the workboat sector in the North Sea is in the context of a growing security threat, because it’s home to critical infrastructure that powers much of Europe and helping to lead the way in the energy transition,” she said.

“Tension has risen dramatically. We have seen cyber and military attacks and it’s volatile and unpredictable. We need to invest in the necessary technology, for example electric and hybrid propulsion can reduce emissions and offer greater operational efficiency.

“Decarbonisation is an opportunity to put the world in sustainable maritime technologies, with tremendous ingenuity.”

Chickens and eggs

Which comes first – the fuel choice or the fuel availability?

Hydrogen appears to be successfully powering Rotterdam’s water taxis, which are becoming something of a symbol of the city, but it is far from readily available everywhere.

“Do you put a hydrogen system in your vessel or do you wait for the port to put the hydrogen infrastructure in place first?” asked Workboat Association CEO Kerrie Forster.

“We have four different types of vessels, and at the moment we are envisaging that we will need four different types of fuel,” said Herbert Broers, Managing Director of Dutch pilotage firm Loodswezen BV.

And there are also the other fuel options – methanol is a frontrunner, for example, and batteries.

In his Gold Sponsor address, Damen Sales Manager Damen Michel Radjiman talked about the company’s electric tugs – the first one, Sparky, now operating in New Zealand. But going fully electric on a wider scale will not be possible until electricity sourcing is solved, he said.

“We provide the full solution – the battery packs, the charging arm – but the trouble is the grid,” he said. “We had a project in Amsterdam that couldn’t supply the energy required for a 24m, 320gt tug, so it ground to a halt.

“We know that it’s more expensive, and we know that the Port of Antwerp is now commissioning one of those tugs because the company wants to take the step. Someone has to pick up the bill and pay it. It’s a matter of operators wanting to go green. If a large operator like Maersk wants to invest

they will do it on one or two vessels as a test case then in the end they will start to have more.”

Batteries will decline over the years and that has to be taken into account, said Radjiman, but battery technology is developing so that could change.

Batteries were over estimated, hydrogen under estimated, said Lennart van der Ploeg, Account Manager with Zepp Solutions, which makes hydrogen fuel cell systems.

“The technology is not the challenge, it’s the infrastructure. It’s a proven solution today,” he said.

The client has to want to make the step themselves, said Windcat Workboats Managing Director Willem van der Wel, who presented three dual-fuel hydrogen vessels – the Hydrocats 48, 55 and 60 – that had been requested by a client.

He admitted there were challenges and they can also run on pure diesel ‘because we don’t want to be stopped in our tracks if the fuel isn’t available’, he said.

“The challenge is new fuels are not as energy dense so we need volume and weight,” he said. “If we can bunker every day it’s not a problem but hydrogen availability is still limited. It’s a chicken-and-egg situation.

“I see an opportunity for hydrogen as a fuel in the future, but we need to create hydrogen hubs.”

Challenges and focus

Gijsbert van Marrewijk, Co-founder & Director of Flying Fish, which makes foiling workboats, said that as long as fossil fuels were coming out of the ground at a low price it would be difficult to transition to zero emissions – so there was a need for more carbon tax.

“So the challenge is that there’s not enough stick to beat us with?” asked Forster.

“We spend a lot of time looking at particular models, we take a long-term view and one thing we focus on is ports and harbours and making them or saving them money, and then getting them addicted to renewables,” said Miles Cole, Head of Origination with Net Zero Marine, the shorepower systems company.

“In an ideal world you’d have decarbonisation coming first but the reality is without state-backed funding, you have got to show them the money. The big problem is oil and gas is such a sophisticated machine you have to be very mean and greedy for ports and harbours to come on side.”

Moderating the final panel of the day, Chartwell Marine Managing Director Andy Page asked if any of the panellists’ focus on net zero had changed since five years ago.

Of the three panellists, two said if anything, they were ready to move faster.

“We think we can go faster and in three to five years’ time I can guarantee our technology will be better than now,” said EST-Floattech Technical Sales Manager Ernst van Werkhoven.

“Our focus is not unchanged, but we can also be ready earlier,” said Herman Broers, Managing Director of Loodswezen BV. “We know that politics can change at any time, so if someone says we should be ready by 2040, we should be.”

SMART FEC: THE BACKBONE THAT KEEPS VITAL DATA FLOWING

Forward error correction (FEC) has become a trusted delivery vessel for critical data and video at sea. KenCast CEO Dr Henrik Axelsson explains how this unsung hero keeps, vessels moving, the seabed mapped and collisions at bay

From autonomous vessels mapping the sea floor to leisure yachts accessing real-time weather updates and updating nautical charts, connectivity at sea is increasingly being used to support new data-driven applications.

The proliferation of High-Throughput Satellite (HTS) constellations is providing the bandwidth needed for advanced features such as collision-avoidance systems and live video streaming.

However, these tools can only function as intended if the supporting data is transmitted flawlessly, regardless of the vessel’s remoteness.

An unsung hero of data delivery, a technology called advanced forward error correction (FEC), has emerged as an essential method to ensure uninterrupted service even in harsh oceanic conditions.

Work or leisure, why the algorithm matters

Although satellite connectivity has provided vessels with critical access to navigational and communications services, as well as internet-based entertainment, data transmission is not inherently error-proof.

This remains true despite recent advances of low-earth orbit satellite networks.

Whilst multicasting via satellite offers an unparalleled method to simultaneously reach a nearly unlimited number of geographically dispersed sites, both fixed and mobile, digitally delivered data is always prone to delay, degradation and loss. This can be especially critical for remote vessels, where incomplete or corrupted data could compromise operations or safety.

This is where FEC steps in as a versatile data-delivery technology relied upon by satellite operators, government agencies, Hollywood studios and multinational corporations to guarantee flawless delivery of their precious content.

Error correction was pioneered in the 1940s and 50s in an attempt to fix problems with the error-prone punched card reader.

Today’s FEC is a solution for modern problems, acting preemptively to ensure error detection and correction and tackling data issues in real time using mathematical algorithms to correct errors.

Think of FEC as a Sudoku puzzle where missing numbers are deduced from those present: FEC “fills in” missing data to accurately complete the entire file or stream. For small to mid-size workboats and leisure vessels, FEC’s ability to ensure data delivery supports everything from navigation and safety systems to enhanced quality of life for crew and passengers.

Remote diagnostics, fuel consumption optimisation and weather updates all require substantial data transfers to provide the onboard crew with actionable insights.

Navigational technologies, including eNavigation and Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) for collision avoidance, increasingly rely on FEC to support data-intensive applications, such as real-time video.

For passengers working remotely or staying connected onboard, reliable video streaming is crucial. From video calls to entertainment, high-quality content access significantly improves life at sea, which is critical for reducing crew turnover and enhancing passenger satisfaction. However, transmitting vast amounts of data across unpredictable oceanic networks requires more than just standard technology. Here, FEC steps in as an indispensable solution, but not all types are created equal.

While some systems employ basic FEC or even ‘carousel’ methods – where data is repeatedly sent until it arrives intact – these can be inefficient, costly and slow.

In contrast, advanced FEC algorithms ensure that each data packet arrives perfectly the first time, regardless of network instability.

The quality of the FEC algorithm directly influences the efficiency, speed and reliability of data transmission, ultimately reducing operational costs tied to retransmissions.

Cast away from data delays

Basic FEC solutions are limited. They’re built to handle small data packets, correcting only minor errors within short transmission windows; think of small audio and video files, over small time frames.

But when connections drop or downlinks stutter, the small data bits cannot be recovered, leaving gaps in the file that cannot be filled. This means the whole package has to be retransmitted to every receiver, creating frustrating delays and racking up unnecessary costs.

■ Dr Henrik Axelsson, KenCast CEO

An unsung hero of data delivery, a technology called advanced forward error correction (FEC), has emerged as an essential method to ensure uninterrupted service even in harsh oceanic conditions

Enter advanced FEC, which tackles these limitations headon. Known as Application Layer FEC (AL-FEC), this technology is ideally suited for large files, where the need for error correction is greatest.

AL-FEC expertly checks for errors, repairs data and removes the need for retransmissions, ensuring greater efficiency, reliability, operational effectiveness and cost savings.

But the innovation doesn’t stop there.

If typical FEC works by patching holes in a file or stream with supplemental data packets generated prior to transmission, the latest innovation uses only supplemental packets at transmission – there is no original file data.

This smart innovation excels when sending to receivers inand-out of coverage – think of fleets of boats moving between satellite spot beams.

This ‘smart’ FEC solution is a game-changer, particularly for maritime applications where staying connected is crucial, such as in government agency and research operation missions.

Coast guard agencies, for example, are deploying increasingly advanced technologies to match the increasingly sophisticated methods of criminals smuggling goods into countries and to improve their ability to help vessels or people in distress along the coastline.

The US Coast Guard has identified autonomous technology as key to enabling “every cutter, small boat station, and sector to effect operations with heightened efficiency and precision”. It has highlighted unmanned surface vessels (USVs) in particular to locate targets of interest for a manned crew to eventually interdict, or as a communication relay.

Their use would demand flawless, assured and real-time data transmission to ensure success – data would need to be relayed between the USVs and crew, in real time, despite any weather effects on the connectivity channels.

Mapping the floor

Maritime FEC applications go even deeper, literally mapping the vast, largely uncharted ocean floor.

With only about 25% of the sea floor mapped so far, the scale of this effort is staggering. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), “technology is being pushed to new limits” as organisations invent specialised vessels and use autonomous vehicles for these mapping missions.

To capture the high-resolution, low-altitude surveys needed, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are deployed, equipped with advanced geographic information systems (GIS) like sonar and lidar.

These tools allow them to generate intricate maps of the sea floor, producing incredible detail and massive quantities of data.

Given the remote nature of many mapping operations, transmitting data back to control centres or between vessels in real time is a formidable challenge.

Only the highest level of data-delivery technology can reliably support this.

Advanced FEC steps in to ensure seamless, real-time transmissions, handling the immense data loads and connectivity hurdles that these deep-sea operations face.

And FEC’s applications don’t stop at ocean mapping. From wind farms to military vessels, a wide range of at-sea operations rely on uninterrupted data and imagery for both routine monitoring and critical missions.

As technology advances, these operations demand more from satellite connections, creating an ever-growing need for FEC’s latest capabilities. This smart iteration of FEC technology meets these demands, ensuring data transmission is smooth, secure, and complete – even in the most challenging conditions.

A new wave of connectivity

Whether mapping uncharted sea floors, aiding coast guard missions, or simply ensuring smooth streaming for remote workers at sea, AL-FEC and smart FEC is the backbone that keeps data flowing.

As maritime technology continues to push boundaries, FEC ensures that every byte reaches its destination without a hitch.

So next time you’re at sea, remember: it’s not just the wet waves that keep you moving forward, but also the ones bouncing off satellites to deliver the data you can count on.

■ Crew on workboats depend on connectivity

■ Reliable data transfer to vessels is crucial for navigation

Over half of vessels in Scotland’s coastal waters are untracked, raising serious concerns for vessel safety, marine traffic and environmental monitoring.

That’s according to a new study by Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, which found that only 43% of vessels within 10km of the Scottish coast broadcast an Automatic Identification System (AIS) signal, the global standard for vessel monitoring.

This means the majority of marine activity in these waters is effectively invisible to standard tracking tools.

“This data challenges the assumption that we can rely on AIS to tell us what’s really happening in our coastal seas,” said Dr Emily Hague, lead author of the study from Heriot-Watt’s School of Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society.

“In some areas, over 75% of vessel activity goes unrecorded.”

Navigating blind

The study, published in Marine Policy, relied on over 1800 hours of land and sea surveys conducted between 2019 and 2024, covered nine of Scotland’s 11 marine regions and showed huge regional and seasonal disparities in AIS visibility.

SCOTTISH RESEARCHERS UNCOVER UNTRACKED VESSEL THREAT

■ In the Outer Hebrides, only 20% of vessels observed were transmitting AIS data

Much of the data was collected by citizen scientists from several conservation organisations, where volunteers were trained to follow a standardised method to survey and quantify ships.

The study highlighted significant regional variations. In the Outer Hebrides, only 20% of vessels observed were transmitting AIS data, despite the area being a hotspot for ecotourism, fishing and aquaculture.

The Orkney Islands showed a higher rate, with 58% of vessels broadcasting, but in the Forth and Tay, home to some of Scotland’s busiest ports, AIS coverage reflected true traffic only 8% of the time, raising questions about under-represented commercial and recreational traffic.

Smaller vessels, such as fishing boats under 15m, recreational craft and jet skis, did account for much of the missing data, but not all of it.

But the research doesn’t just highlight a gap, it offers a path forward, one that could also be used in other waters.

The authors suggest that where there are high volumes of non-AIS vessels, AIS data should be supplemented with other tracking methods, such as land-based observations and citizen science, to build a complete picture.

It points out that ideally, even smaller vessels should broadcast their position using AIS, although they’re not legally required to do so.

“The wider maritime sector could further benefit through improved safety and awareness,” said Dr Hague.

Anschütz has successfully tested an automatic collision avoidance system (CAS) as part of the Kiel CAPTN initiative, marking a significant step toward autonomous navigation.

During tests in the Kiel Fjord, the system accurately identified and addressed complex situations, offering recommendations that aligned closely with the decisions of human navigators.

“Automating target detection, association and evaluation in a narrow and busy area like the Kiel Fjord proved to be a challenge,” said Daniel Sommerstedt, project manager for autonomous navigation research at Anschütz.

“We have made significant process on a steep learning curve and will continue to optimise and mature the process.”

The CAS uses an algorithm which analyses onboard sensor data to identify potential collision risks with other vessels. The system continuously assesses conditions, calculating safe manoeuvring areas and suggesting trajectories while considering factors such as water depths and restricted areas.
