Pathway to Net Zero

CTV Charging Buoy

Project description

The Oasis Power Buoy is an innovative solution for powering Crew Transfer Vessels (CTV) used in operations and maintenance of Offshore Wind Farms.

The Power Buoy uses a direct connection to a wind turbine with subsea cables to recharge any hybrid / electric powered vessels whilst the CTV is on standby in-field.

The system can be retrofitted to existing WTG or incorporated in new designs.

Sealand provided support to Oasis Power to help progress the buoy from a feasibility study to the trial stage.
