Battery-Powered SOVs, CTVs To Soon Become Cheaper than Their MGO Alternatives, Study Says

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.

This is the sub-heading.

Studies commissioned by ScottishPower Renewables found that battery-powered vessels (re)charging offshore is feasible and could be part of the operations of future offshore wind farms. One of the reports also says electric operations and maintenance (O&M) vessels will become cheaper than their Marine Gas Oil (MGO) alternatives within the next few years.

The article is definitely a must-read, as it talks in detail about using service operation vessels (SOVs) and crew transfer vessels (CTVs), that are powered by electricity, rather than by marine gas oil (MGO).

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
