Photo: MHO-CO MHO-CO expects its fleet of offshore vessels will be 100% fossil free before 2030 BY KARIN JENSEN Development of new fossil free fuels for the shipping industry is constantly moving closer and MHOCO expects its fleet of offshore support and crew transfer vessels will be 100% fossil free before 2030, CEO and founder Mik Henriksen said. Just a few years ago when we started looking at new alternative fuels, we thought it would be at least fifteen years out in future before we could be 100% fossil free. But things are developing incredibly fast so now we believe it will happen before 2030, Henriksen said. The next generation of vessels being built now could potentially be fossil free as soon as 2023 or 2024 with just modest changes, Henriksen said. MHO-CO is involved in several projects for the development of fossil free fuels for shipping and is for example heading a consortium with Aalborg University, Danfoss, Stuart Freizer Marine, Sterling Plan B Things are developing incredibly fast so we now believe our fleet will be 100% fossil-free before 2030 and Ballard Power Systems Europe which has received a grant from EUDP. Over the next three years the partners will develop and test a propulsion system for maritime transport and MHO-CO will test both fuel cells and new liquid cooling system battery technology on its newly launched advanced hybrid vessels. Our new hybrid catamarans can easily be converted to 100% fossil free powered vessels, said Henriksen. Earlier this year, MHO-CO launched MHO Asgard and MHO Apollo, two 35 metres offshore catamarans with fully integrated hybrid electric solutions that can be adapted to future technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells. MHO-CO is also working on several other projects, including a new consortium for eMethanol fuel cells. FACTS MHO-CO was founded in 2015 by Mik Henriksen, who designs the vessels. It is headquartered in Esbjerg. Its fleet is specialised to service and support the offshore wind industry and provides a wide range of services, including crew transfer. 13 Commercial Content NOVEMBER 2021 Wind energy is on the rise - Energy consumption in EU is decreasing Strong innovation in energy business - Technology and new solutions for a greener tomorrow 2 DANISH QUALITY WIND MAGAZINE Finally, we meet - not virtually like in Hamburg 2020 but physically and almost in person S ince 2019 our world has been turned upside down by the unpleasant experiences of Covid 19 a virous which hits a truly international business such as the Wind industry extre Heavy handling reach stackers for heavy handling ncn HEAVY HANDLING lifting capacity from 85 to 180 tons WindEurope Electric City, Copenhagen Meet us at stand E-D18 Contacts us now +45 99 83 83 83 Customized heavy handling reach stackers in any weight class ...
