ACUA Ocean’s Post

Fantastic evening at the UK Parliament listening to Mike Kane, the UK Shipping Minister discussing the critical importance of the maritime sector to the economy. A huge thanks to Maritime UK Society of Maritime Industries (SMI) The Workboat Association and Nautilus International for the invite. Great to catch up with Sheldon Ryan Chris Smith Kevin Forshaw and colleagues from across the South West maritime clusters. #oceantech #cleantech #maritimetechnology #defencetech

It was a pleasure to welcome Lola Fadina, Director of Maritime at Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom to ACUA Ocean's new HQ at Turnchapel Wharf last week. Lola and her team have been tireless supporters of maritime decarbonisation and innovation through UK SHORE and the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition delivered by Innovate UK. ACUA Ocean Co-Founder Mike Tinmouth and Head of Marine Operations John Hunnibell spoke to the DfT team about the USV Pioneer and her novel SWATH vessel design, MASS regulation, the benefits and challenges of hydrogen technology and the importance of the CMDC funding on supporting the wider UK maritime supply chain. We look forward to welcoming Lola and her DfT colleagues back to Plymouth in a few months when USV Pioneer undergoes sea trials and demonstrations. #cleanmaritime #maritimetechnology #oceantech #defencetech #cleantech Net Zero Technology Centre Blue Action Britbots Sixth Wave Ventures

Great to be featured in the Sifted Climate Intelligence Report 2024 as one of the 51 Global Climate Startups to watch. Accelerating the new financial models that will be required to deliver meaningful climate solutions will require more than just basic data, it will require rich, holistic ocean data sets to unlock our understanding of ocean health. Our USV Pioneer will provide the platform-as-a-service for the deployment of the advanced sensor and system payloads, the comms systems and the capability to operate in open ocean sea states. https://lnkd.in/eJpKeCrb #oceantech #climatetech #cleantech #maritimetechnology #defrabiodiversity Blue Action Katapult Ocean Olivia Brooks Rupert Hayward Jamie Rowles Jeff Stoike Ross Brooks Ingrid H.

An excellent research paper from our colleagues at the University of Southampton exploring a quantitative comparison of methanol, ammonia and hydrogen as future marine fuels. Key findings include: • Hydrogen through fuel cells requires the least amount of renewable energy investment. • Methanol and ammonia combustion scenarios yield a carbon footprint and other air emissions. The University of Southampton have partnered with ACUA Ocean on our hybrid hydrogen-powered USV Pioneer under the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Rounds 1-3 funded by Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom. https://lnkd.in/e5B7f9zX #oceantech #cleantech #hydrogentechnology Stephen Turnock Madadh MacLaine Steven Lua S.
