DNV and a consortium behind the eSOV is made up of Port of Aberdeen, ORE Catapult, Kongsberg, DNV, Shell and Liverpool John Moores University, as well as Bibby Marine.
The eSOV is intended for the UK and European offshore wind market and the consortium developing it was recently awarded £20M (US$25M) in UK government funding under the Zero Emission Vessel and Infrastructure (ZEVI) competition.
Longitude Engineering maritime design director Dean Groves said, “Decarbonising the value chain is of critical importance. Studies have been conducted to explore the carbon footprint of marine operations in offshore wind. This project is the next step – engineering a solution. It has the opportunity to set the tone for the decarbonisation of vessels involved in offshore operations.”
The eSOV is based on Longitude Engineering’s OSD-IMT9605 design. The vessel will be powered by a hybrid 20-MWh battery system and dual-fuel methanol generators for back-up and offshore charging capability.
The vessel will provide ultra-low emissions support to offshore construction, operations and maintenance activities in the offshore renewables sector in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, in particular, supporting Europe’s growing offshore wind market.

3moGreat to hear that Canrig PowerTAP™ Highline Power Module aims to eliminate scope one emissions and diesel usage on drilling sites by integrating with a High-Line power grid. But its deployment is limited to developed fields only having grids .This allows for cleaner, more efficient, and cheaper power for all rig operations, significantly reducing on-site GHG emissions. But to reduce scope two emissions still lots of R&D and smart engines management and efficiency enhancement is required which can make more prominent contributions towards net zero
