A consortium of British companies and universities, led by AceOn Group, has conducted successful trials of a zero-emissions propulsion system on Newcastle University’s research vessel, Princess Royal. The initiative, part of the £4.6M RESTORE project, combines hydrogen and battery technology to power crew transfer vessels servicing offshore windfarms. The project, funded by the UK Department for Transport and Innovate UK, aims to promote clean maritime technology. The collaboration involved AceOn Group, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, Engas Global, and several universities. The Princess Royal demonstration in the North Sea and River Tyne signifies a milestone in developing sustainable marine propulsion systems. AceOn Group's CEO Mark Thompson highlighted the UK's potential in clean maritime technology and the commitment to creating competitive products. The project, under the UK SHORE programme, demonstrates efforts to decarbonize the marine industry through innovative technology and collaborative partnerships.
