ABS and Seatrium have enhanced their long running partnership on cutting-edge marine and technology projects with the signing of a three-year Technology Collaboration Agreement (TCA) at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC).
Entitled “Accelerating Decarbonization and Energy Transition,” the agreement is the foundation for further collaboration on a succession of state-of-the-art projects under four broad themes: decarbonization, electrification, new energies and digital transformation.
As informed, the agreement aims to support the commercialization of a broad range of innovative technological advancements and solutions, green retrofit products and services such as carbon capture, electrification and energy efficiency measures.
Our shared vision for the future, combined with our twin cultures of innovation and collaboration mean we are well placed to safely deliver the rapid technological advance our industry needs if we are to meet emissions targets and capitalize on the opportunities offered by decarbonization and digitalization
… said Christopher J. Wiernicki, ABS Chairman and CEO.
The TCA is the latest step in a long running collaboration between ABS and Seatrium, which has seen the two companies deliver a succession of pioneering industry firsts.
ABS recognized Seatrium as the first shipyard group to deploy smart technologies in its operations, in compliance with the ABS Guide for Smart Technologies for Shipyards, and the ADMARINE 686 was the world’s first self-elevating drilling unit (SEDU) to be awarded the ABS SMART (SHM) notation.
ABS and Seatrium have achieved great successes through our previous collaborations, and we are committed to harnessing our distinct strengths and capabilities to push the boundaries and transform the way we approach decarbonization, energy transition, and digital transformation.
… commented Chris Ong, CEO of Seatrium
