World’s first offshore charging solution for zero-emission operation

Energy Disrupter

General – Charging Solution

Following successful prototype testing, Seaonics is moving swiftly towards the commercialization of the Ocean Charger solution for electric Service Operation Vessels (SOVs).

This comes at a time of heightened interest from wind farm developers, eager to adopt sustainable practices in the offshore wind industry.

With the global push towards reducing carbon emissions and increasing operational efficiency, Seaonics’ Ocean Charger is positioned to be a game-changer. The recent high-voltage charging tests conducted on the Rem Offshore-owned diesel-electric hybrid CSOV REM Power have demonstrated the solution’s viability.

Tests were carried out both in port and offshore, where a charging point—featuring a cable reel, winch, and control system—was mounted on an offshore wind turbine.

The product is now ready for the market.
