VESSEL REVIEW: Haugesund, Norway-based maritime biotechnology company Alginor, through its wholly owned subsidiary Hypomar, recently took delivery of a new kelp harvesting vessel built by local shipyard Fitjar Mekaniske Verksted (FMV) to a design by Solstrand Trading. 'Hypomar Ocean 1' was designed with emphasis on reducing technical risk, safeguarding crew health and safety, and ensuring a reduced environmental footprint. The vessel will be used to harvest kelp, particularly kelp that belongs to the species Laminaria hyperborea, which is abundant in the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean just off the Norwegian coast. The kelp is self-renewable, and up to four million tonnes can be harvested each year without risk of the existing biomass becoming depleted. Alginor plans to develop, manufacture, market, and sell kelp-based ingredients to global customers for use in pharmaceutical and nutritional products. A longer-term objective is the establishment of one of the first biorefineries for large kelp in Europe, and 'Hypomar Ocean 1' will supply this facility with the necessary quantities of kelp.

As part of our first EUDP - Det Energiteknologiske Udviklings- og Demonstrationsprogram backed project in 2021 and 2022, we carried out a detailed study with Siemens Gamesa which clearly concluded that wave energy has the potential to become competitive to offshore wind in the mid-term. It is therefore very positive to see that our results have now been validated also by Delft University of Technology and LUT University, in a european sponsored study EU-SCORES.

Size matters in the offshore wind segment. Specifically, the size of the wind turbine and its direct correlation to the size of the vessel that is to assist in the installation of turbines. But Havfram CEO Ingrid Due-Gundersen sees a need for the smaller vessels too. #shipping #freight #offshorewind #renewableenergy #business

⭐ 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲? Our partner, Maris Fiducia Norway AS, has been awarded NOK 300 million in funding to realize five hydrogen-powered dry bulk newbuilds. This marks an important milestone in our journey toward sustainable maritime solutions. The plan is to equip the five vessels with HAV Hydrogen’s Zero Emission Pod – ZEPOD® – a module containing a complete hydrogen energy system for ships. 🗣️ Kristian Osnes, 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐀𝐕 𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧, 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬: "This brings us another step closer to the commercial breakthrough for our hydrogen-based energy systems for ships. Everyone knows the shipping industry needs to lower emissions, but it relies on companies such as Maris Fiducia Norway to pave the way. We are delighted to be part of this partnership and to help develop the future for short sea cargo together with Maris Fiducia and Norwegian Hydrogen." 🗣️ Gunnar Larsen, 𝐂𝐄𝐎 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐀𝐕 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩, 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐬: "This achievement is not just a win for our company; it's a leap forward for the shipping industry. Our hydrogen energy systems are paving the way for ships to navigate the seas without leaving a carbon footprint, aligning with our vision of an emission-free horizon."
