As geopolitical tensions in the Middle East heighten, offshore and marine stocks are witnessing renewed interest and the potential for a strong rally. Marco Polo Marine, a key player in the offshore industry, is well-positioned to capitalise on the growing demand for offshore services, thanks to its strong track record and strategic focus. Under these dynamic conditions, Marco Polo Marine continues to lead the charge in driving sustainable, long-term growth. Join us for the SGX Group Discovery event, "Offshore Energy: Powering a New Tomorrow," in collaboration with GEM COMM! As we transition away from fossil fuels, offshore energy presents promising solutions to meet global demand and reduce our carbon footprint. Hear from distinguished speakers from Sheffield Green, Marco Polo Marine Ltd, and Mermaid Maritime Public Company Limited as we explore the sector’s potential and how companies can benefit from this energy transition. Don’t miss this chance to shape the future of offshore energy!

🌊 Offshore TSO Collaboration – Unlocking the potential of the North Sea At Creos, we believe in cooperation to support the realization of Europe’s green deal ambitions. Therefore, we’ve developed with the TSOs of the 9 North Sea Countries a paper ahead of the High-Level offshore event of the Belgian Presidency, organized in Bruges on the 15th of May. Discover our grid map and recommendations for cost allocation and financing, market design and supply chain now already. As offshore investments surge, equitable cost sharing mechanisms are more important than ever. Laurence Zenner, CEO Creos Luxembourg underlines that “Landlocked countries need incentives in the shape of concrete and recognized benefits if they are to participate in offshore projects.” Amprion GmbH 50Hertz Transmission GmbH EirGrid Group Elia Group Energinet Gasunie National Grid Réseau de Transport d'Électricité Statnett SF TenneT TSO GmbH TenneT TSO B.V. #offshore #windenergy #northseas #europe

Yesterday WindEurope's CEO Giles Dickson spoke at the FOWT Conference in Marseille, France. #FOWT24 is the world's largest event dedicated to floating offshore wind. Right now floating offshore wind is still pre-commercial. Europe has 208 MW installed. But it aims to get 3 GW installed by 2030. 88% of floating offshore wind projects are in Europe. But South Korea, China and Taiwan are already investing in this technology. What should European governments do to boost the deployment of floating wind❓ 📃 Clear Auctions: Governments must provide clear auctions schedule for projects development. Auctions must happen now! 🔝 High Volumes: We need considerable volumes to reach targets 🚢 Invest in Ports : Ports must upscale their infrastructure to host mass production of floaters and logistics. 🔬 Research & Development: Massive investments in technology are crucial- as well as standardisation of the technologies. We need to move faster to continue the development of #floatingoffshorewind. Europe needs to take the most out of it. By 2050 the Mediterranean Sea could host 76 GW of capacity thus contributing significantly to Europe's climate and energy targets.

🌊 AET joins MPA’s Maritime Energy Training Facility Collaboration 🌊   AET has joined the Maritime Energy Training Facility (METF) to develop specialised training courses for future maritime professionals, focusing on future fuels and technologies. As one of 29 new partners, we will collaborate with Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) to validate and shape METF’s training courses, including the training curriculum and curriculum delivery of courses on future fuels and technologies supporting maritime decarbonisation. ⚓️💡 This partnership underscores our commitment to nurturing talent in maritime and supporting the industry’s shift to cleaner, low- or near-zero emissions fuels, accelerating the path to decarbonisation. AET President & CEO and MISC President & Group CEO Zahid Osman said, " The METF is a key initiative that aligns with our energy transition strategy and commitment to decarbonisation, supporting our 2050 net-zero GHG goal as part of the MISC Group.”    For more information on the METF, please visit https://lnkd.in/g4z2Ma4y.    To learn more about our energy transition strategy and how we engage with our stakeholders, explore AET Connects here: https://lnkd.in/gkhJG8YQ. #deliveringProgress #AET #MaritimeSG #SIBCON2024

Yesterday at the Valentia Island Subsea Cable Symposium, John Tibbles (Executive Director Operations - SubOptic Foundation) shared key insights from the Subsea Cable Resilience in the Caribbean project. He emphasized the crucial role of subsea cables in ensuring resilient internet infrastructure, economic stability, and attracting future investment. Key Takeaways: Strategic Resilience Collaboration & Communication Education Holistic Change Together, we can strengthen the Caribbean’s digital future. 🌐🤝 #SubOpticFoundation #SubseaCables #CaribbeanResilience #StrategicResilience #DigitalFuture

🇩🇪During the 2nd Offshore Congress held in Emden in Germany, around 100 representatives from politics, trade unions, industry, and associations discussed the state and future of #offshorewind #energy. The discussion clearly emphasised that the northern German states have enormous potential to strengthen their position as the “political heart of #Europe.” To achieve this, it is essential to maintain technological capabilities in Lower Saxony and Germany. This can only be done if the right frameworks are established now to secure investments. Olaf Lies Heiko Messerschmidt Karina Würtz Stiftung OFFSHORE-WINDENERGIE

As the week slowly rolls into Monday, we are casting an eye towards our next few weeks. This week we are finalising our to-do list for SMM Hamburg and Gastech 2024 so that when our teams set off to these events, they have everything they need. Do you have everything in place? Make sure you have made all your appointments for the shows - send us a message to get yours with us! #marine #shipping #bunkering #bunkervessel #lng #lpg #fsru #fuelgassystem #fgs #co2 #co2emissions #co2reduction #futurefuels #ammonia #methanol #nh3 #epc #tgemarinecrew  #tgemarine  #maritime #shipping #gas #offshore #engineering #shippingnews #gastank #greenshipping  #makeanimpact  #exhibitions  #greeninitiatives #innovations #greeninnovations #SMM2024 #Gastech2024

Only when we debate and look at the total picture, will we be able to transform the European energy system sensibly. Cost wise, offshore wind has proven to beat fossil fueled power stations per generated kWh. Let’s now concentrate on gearing up the rollout using a true European supply chain.

Below our partner Seaway7 talks about #TailwindEU and its goal to cut costs, the environmental impact and material use in floating offshore wind systems and components. Learn more below ⤵

After a couple of days in the stunning city of Bergen, I am on my way back home to NL. I have attended the #kick_off meeting of #RamonCO, representing EBN B.V. as one of the industry partners. RamonCO is a research project which has been submitted under the first #CETP call with the aim of establishing a risk-based framework for assessing #CO2_storage #monitoring: https://lnkd.in/ehf5G3nV I have always been a big fan of the Skandinavian countries, so I tend to be a bit biased by nature, but I believe all participants will agree that our host at NORCE Norwegian Research Centre and project manager of RamonCO gave us a very warm welcome. Many thanks, Kirsti Midttømme! It was fantastic to meet so many experienced and highly motivated partners from research and industry joining from Europe and the US, and to watch how plans and strategies were made to achieve the main objectives of the project. Not surprisingly, it turned out that we all have similar (if not to say the same) questions when it comes to #monitoring of #CO2_storages. I strongly agree with the project team that collaboration on an inter- and transdisciplinary level will be the key to success. It’s all about getting the #bigger_picture and applying scientific results to real world problems. So, then I think about the current situation in the Dutch part of the #North_Sea, where many different activities (e.g. fishery, shipping, hydrocarbon E&P, wind power generation etc., and soon also CO2 storage) are #co_existing, not too far away from the busiest port in Europe. I then ask myself: Why not putting all the competitiveness aside for once and strive towards #strong_collaboration within, but also beyond the CCS sector where monitoring is an undeniable part of the game?   My personal view might be a bit naive, but I still trust that bringing relevant stakeholders together - so we can learn from each other - will be beneficial for all of us. At some point we have to realize that we are all working towards the same #long_term_goals and that reaching them (#climate_ambitions) will only be successful if we #join_forces. #CCS #EBN #energytransition
