Northern Offshore Services (N-O-S), a subsidiary of Northern Offshore Group (NOG), an NYK Group company that operates crew transfer vessels in the global offshore wind industry, has upgraded a crew transfer vessel (CTV) to run on biomethanol.
Designed and developed by N-O-S, the vessel has been named Transporter. It is a conversion of a smaller A-class CTV to install a methanol engine.
N-O-S plans to use only biomethanol as fuel, a clean, renewable fuel derived from sustainable biomass.
David Kristensson, CEO of NOG, said: “We now operate the world’s first single-fuel biomethanol crew transfer vessel. We are improving our fleet's sustainability and setting a new standard for the maritime industry. Biomethanol represents a powerful alternative to conventional fuels, and we are proud to lead the way.”
