🌊⚓ US Offshore Wind, Season 2: MV Bokalift 2! ⚓🌊 Last week, we kicked off the second season of major projects in the U.S. offshore wind industry. At Coast Line Transfers LLC, we're excited to play a part in this unfolding saga! The arrival of Boskalis' MV Bokalift 2 for Ørsted's Revolution Wind project, signals the next step for offshore wind in the US. As "Season 2" of U.S. offshore wind gets underway, the importance of every component is clearer than ever—from state-of-the-art vessels like the Bokalift 2 to local vessels for crew transfers. Committed to sustainable practices and local economic empowerment, CLT is poised to make significant contributions to this story. We're not just watching the episodes unfold; we're creating them, one impactful scene at a time. Join us as we advance, create waves, and build a greener future together! 🌱🛥️ #OffshoreWind #Bokalift2 #Boskalis #SustainableEnergy #USMaritime #Innovation #CLT #RenewableEnergy

Zelim, a UK-based startup developing innovative search and rescue solutions, is joining forces with OW Ocean Winds, an international company dedicated to offshore wind energy and 50-50 joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE, in a pilot project to test AI enabled person detection software for floating offshore wind farms. Read The Full Article:- https://lnkd.in/e-WkVtyj Doug Lothian, Chief Technology Officer at Zelim, commented “Finding someone in distress at sea is often a game of chance, especially when you factor in waves, sea spray, darkness and how quickly people can drift in the current. Couple that with the limitations of a human searcher’s eyesight and concentration." Elena Caja, HSSEQ Director, commented: “As a pure offshore wind developer and operator of over 1.5 GW in the world, a key focus at Ocean Winds is the increase of the safety and health of our workers and communities, which always come first.

THE LARGEST OFF-SHORE WIND FARM PROJECT in the world passes through Terminal San Giorgio. Located in northern France, will be built using parts of the drilling rig loaded onto a #generalcargo ship at Terminal San Giorgio (Gruppo Autosped G / Gavio Group), destined for the ports of #Blyth (Great Britain) and #Schiedam (Netherlands). The off-shore project will be able to cover the equivalent of the domestic energy consumption of approximately 770,000 people. This important project allows us to make a contribution to the offshore world and represents concrete hope for a #low #carbon #emission future. A vision that combines perfectly with the #green corporate policy that Terminal San Giorgio has been pursuing with determination for years #OffShoreWind #EnergyCentral #committedtocleanenergy #electric #heavylift #projectcargo #projectlogistics #projectforwarding #logistics #portsofgenoa #terminalsangiorgio

Network connectivity is more and more becoming an integral part of our lives, and a core requirement: it's more than a basic necessity - we've come to depend on it, and today mobile phones and network-connected devices improve and save lives every day, while businesses - large and small - to varying degrees depend on network connectivity for their strategy and operations. Some of the most ambitious use cases that I can think of today depend on the Internet of Things (#IoT) and ultimately - on intermittent or permanent network connectivity to provide timely information, aide decision making, and receive status and control communication. James Thomas and the wider JET Connectivity team are on a mission to enable some of the most ambitious projects of today's world, and to save and improve people's lives by establishing 5G connectivity in locations where that was impossible until today - at sea and in the ocean. Below is the first buoy leaving the dock and making history. I am very happy to confirm that I am supporting James Thomas and the JET Connectivity team on this journey. Please drop me a note if you want to learn more on how that can help your business, and I'd be thrilled to provide insight, and connect you with the wider team. #5GatSea #IoT #teleoperation #windpower #RenewableEnergy #GrandEngineeringProjects

investing for the future

NEWS: Bibby Marine announces contract to build world’s first zero-emission offshore windfarm maintenance vessel The ground-breaking vessel will be the first to operate solely on battery power for over 16-hours between charging cycles, allowing workers to operate a full shift between charges, drawing power directly from turbines. Bibby Line Group CEO, Jonathan Lewis: “As a family-owned business, we pride ourselves on being able to take a long-term perspective. “Following our group restructure in 2020, significant investment in our more focused portfolio of core businesses is resulting in improved group performance and allowing us to invest for future growth – putting Bibby very much back on the front foot in our respective sectors. He added “I am delighted that we are investing into world-leading green technology within the marine sector, in which we have operated throughout our 200 year history. This investment has been made possible by the dedicated and skilled people who are part of Bibby Marine and the broader Bibby Line Group." #InnovateUK #transportgovuk #UKShore #Maritime2050 #FutureofTransport #innovation #maritime #electrification #netzero #decarbonisation #bibbycompass

Norwegian shipping company Rem Offshore is making waves with an order placed with compatriot Myklebust Verft AS. They've set sail towards sustainability by commissioning the construction of an energy subsea construction vessel (ESCV), touted as the first of its kind to perform heavy construction work in both offshore wind and subsea with net zero emissions. 🌟 According to Rem, this vessel represents a significant milestone in their journey towards a greener future. Lars Conradi Andersen, CEO of Rem Offshore, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "This is a big milestone for Rem Offshore. We are ordering our first net zero emission vessel and taking a big step into the future." 🌍 The ESCV will incorporate cutting-edge technology to reduce energy consumption, with solutions that nearly halve energy usage compared to similar vessels in today's market. Moreover, it will meet future requirements for zero emissions from end to end. 🌱 Key features of the vessel include dual-fuel methanol engines paired with battery packs, and all offshore lifting equipment, including a powerful 250 T crane, will be electric and capable of regenerating power to the batteries. With a spacious working deck spanning over 1,400 m2, the vessel will also be equipped for the installation of an offshore gangway, catering to offshore wind operations. ⚓ Skipsteknisk has played a crucial role in designing this flexible platform, working closely with Rem and Myklebust. Delivery of this groundbreaking vessel is anticipated in 2026. https://lnkd.in/eu6ZprXa ⛴️ #SustainableShipping #InnovationAtSea #NetZeroEmissions #MaritimeTechnology #GreenEnergy #escv
