In Sweden, as a groundbreaking move toward a more sustainable future for the offshore industry, Northern Offshore Services announces the delivery of the world’s first 100% biomethanol-powered crew transfer vessel (CTV). M/V Transporter, designed, developed and provided by N-O-S, is a conversion from A-Class to T-class. The vessel is a 25-meter, high-speed catamaran with an updated and improved hull design, 24 pax seating, specially designed for fast and reliable transfer of technicians and light cargo.
The initiative is in collaboration with Vestas, who will charter Transporter to explore how the biomethanol-powered vessel can reduce carbon emissions from offshore service operations.
The vessel is powered by biomethanol only, a clean, renewable fuel derived from sustainable biomass. This innovative vessel is a part of N-O-S’s commitment to driving the transition to emission-reducing technologies and advancing the industry’s decarbonization efforts.
