RENEWABLE ENERGY
Artemis Technologies, and an offshore wind turbine based-charger from MJR Power & Automation to allow for direct E-CTV charging on location, greatly increasing the time and range that electric vessels can stay in operation without returning to port.
PARTNERS ON THE PROJECT The e-Ginny project is being undertaken in partnership with Goodchild Marine Services, Artemis Technologies and MJR Power & Automation. Key equipment suppliers also include Volvo Penta, Danfoss and the battery system from Corvus Energy. Upon completion, the E-CTV will begin service on a UK windfarm for a period of 3 years. Leo Hambro, commercial director
of Tidal Transit, said: “This project is a significant step forward in propelling the offshore transport industry into a new zero-carbon era. As a Norfolk based company, we’re delighted to be working locally with our project partner Goodchild Marine
and, alongside our other incredible design and engineering partners operating nationwide, continuing to lead the way in sustainable and decarbonised offshore transport.” ●

The ZAVI competition explained
The Mercurio E-CTV retrofit project is part of the Zero Emissions Vessels and Infrastructure competition (ZEVI), announced in February 2023, funded by UK Government and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK. As part of ZEVI, the Department for Transport allocated over £80m to 10 flagship projects supported by 52 organisations from across the UK to deliver real world R&D projects in clean maritime solutions. Projects will take place in multiple locations from the Orkney Isles to the south west of England.
ZEVI is part of the UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emission’s (UK SHORE), focused on clean maritime technologies that can be scaled rapidly to decarbonise the UK’s domestic maritime sector. In March 2022, the department announced a government investment of £206m to UK SHORE, a new division within the Department for Transport focused on decarbonising the maritime sector.
