Aqua superPower, Tidal Transit Partner on Electric CTVs

Aqua superPower and Tidal Transit have formed a strategic partnership to support the deployment of electric crew transfer vessels (E-CTVs) for ports and harbors serving offshore infrastructure, including offshore wind projects.

Under the agreement, Tidal Transit will build and operate E-CTV vessels and manage offshore charging infrastructure installation, while Aqua superPower will design, build, operate and maintain shore-side charging systems at vessel origin ports.

The collaboration aims to simplify deployment of electric vessel operations by combining vessel capability, offshore charging expertise and shore power infrastructure within a coordinated delivery model.

Tidal Transit has already established itself as a pioneer in electric offshore support vessels through its e-Ginny program. The company developed what it described as the world’s first diesel-to-electric CTV retrofit and worked with project partners to develop critical offshore charging infrastructure.

The initiative demonstrates the growing commercial viability and sector demand for electric CTVs, supported by onshore and offshore charging solutions.

“Ports and harbors are looking for practical, scalable ways to decarbonise marine operations. By partnering with Tidal Transit, we can offer a complete charging ecosystem for electric crew transfer vessels that
