Northern Offshore Services (N-O-S) announced the delivery of the world’s first 100% biomethanol-powered crew transfer vessel (CTV).
The M/V Transporter was designed, developed and provided by N-O-S and is a conversion from A-Class to T-class. The vessel is a 25-meter, high-speed catamaran with an updated and improved hull design, 24 pax seating, specially designed for transfer of technicians and light cargo.
The initiative is in collaboration with Vestas, who will charter Transporter to explore how the biomethanol-powered vessel can reduce carbon emissions from offshore service operations.
Opportunities exist for operating low-emission vessels. Commitment and alliances are needed to further exploit these opportunities.
…said Lisa Ekstrand, Head and VP of Sustainability, Vestas.
