MacGregor has received a large order for its 50-tonne active heave compensated (AHC) crane to be installed on board MMA Valour, a versatile and flexible multi-purpose platform supply vessel.

BERG Propulsion has won a contract covering the hybrid propulsion solution that ensure three wind-assisted Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA) ro-ro vessels will maximize efficiency regardless of their mode of operation.

The VLGCs and VLACs will be fitted with independent type A tanks and will use LPG and ammonia as fuel, respectively.

The 180-metre-long ships will be able to accommodate 1,000 passengers as well as cargo freight. The Wärtsilä equipment for these ferries is scheduled to be delivered in mid-2025

The new vessel has a length of 191 meters and breadth of 34 meters and will incorporate advanced cable installation solutions.

The design will be reviewed by ABS, with the aim of issuing an approval in principle.

Five new vessels will have joined the fleet between 2020 and 2025

The two five-year agreements cover the 'Hamayu' and 'Soleil' ferries and provide remote 24/7 support in case of need.

The project involves replacing an engine and existing systems with a new shore-charged electrical system

The Panama Canal Authority ordered ten hybrid tractor tugboats from European shipbuilder, Astilleros Armón, with options for another 10 similar vessels, and Corvus Energy will supply the battery systems for the hybrid-electric vessels.

EST-Floattech announces its collaboration with Wight Shipyard Co. They will install the Octopus Series battery systems on two vessels, the “Mars Clipper” and Cross River Ferry, for Thames Clippers.

The dual-fuel vessel can run on either LPG or conventional heavy oil, and when LPG is used as fuel
