The Danish shipping company MHO-Co has designed two new hybrid catamarans where modern electric motors saves on weight, space and emission for the benefit of the environment as well as fuel economy in the offshore wind industry. But that is not all. The 35-meter CTVs are designed to be ready for other environmentally friendly technologies of the future, and an even more sustainable operation.
In the summer of 2021, MHO-Co will launch the two specially designed catamarans on contract with Ørsted, where they are scheduled to transport technicians and equipment to the British offshore wind farm Hornsea Project 2 in the North Sea.
“Designing and building hybrid CTVs is a huge step in the environmental direction, and I am proud that we at MHO-Co have found partners who share our vision for sustainable development in the offshore industry. With these new vessels we still offer some of the largest and most reliable CTVs in the world, and they can be converted to future technologies”, says CEO and Founder of MHO-Co, Mik Henriksen.
The vessels’ newly developed hybrid propulsion packages are designed in a way which enables them to be adapted at a later state to future eco-friendly power generating methods such as hydrogen fuel cells or other technologies.
