Farra Orla extension will mean almost five years supporting EA ONE Offshore Wind Farm and ScottishPower Renewables.

Farra Marine sign a further contract to provide comprehensive support during the operations and maintenance phases of EA ONE Offshore Wind Farm. This continued partnership marks a major step forward in advancing renewable energy infrastructure and underscores Farra Marine’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.

As part of the agreement, Farra Orla, a 27-metre quad jet built by Singapore’s Penguin Shipyard
International, will remain on site having already completed almost two years supporting the project.

CEO Martin Rice said, “This will be a fantastic collaboration. The team at SPR have been working hard to ensure the vessels they charter deliver the best value for the project and Farra Marine has consistently expanded its fleet over the past 18 months, providing support on projects spanning the west coast of France to the Baltic Sea and North Sea. Our mission is to offer our clients the most modern vessels with a management team committed to ensuring they receive the service they are paying for.”

Chris McGinnis, ScottishPower Renewables’ Head of Operations and Maintenance, said, “This agreement means our successful collaboration with Farra Marine will continue. They’ve provided key support for our EA ONE project for almost two years. This partnership will help us as we press on with producing enough renewable energy to power more than 630,000 homes.”

EA ONE Offshore Wind Farm, which is operated by ScottishPower Renewables, will contribute significantly to renewable energy generation. By partnering with Farra Marine, the project aims to leverage the company’s expertise and experience in delivering maritime services. This collaboration will ensure that operations and maintenance phases are carried out seamlessly and efficiently.

Farra Marine has gained a reputation for its dedication to innovation, sustainability, and client
satisfaction. The company’s ability to adapt to evolving industry demands while maintaining a
steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility has positioned it as a leader in the field.

ExploMar Targets Larger Commercial Vessels with New 400HP Electric Outboard ExploMar, a technology company specialising in high-performance electric marine propulsion systems, will offer an early look at its upcoming 400HP electric outboard at METSTRADE 2026, taking place from 17–19 November at RAI Amsterdam (Booth 05.501). The new model signals the company's expansion into higher-power propulsion solutions for larger commercial vessels and more demanding marine operations. Designed to deliver greater power and performance, the 400HP electric outboard aims to extend the potential of electric propulsion across a wider range of commercial applications, including passenger transport, workboats and other vessel operations where performance and operational efficiency are key considerations. ExploMar's existing electric outboard range spans 100HP to 300HP and is already used across fishing boats, passenger ferries, tour boats, patrol boats and aquaculture support vessels. Experience gained from deploying these systems in diverse marine environments has helped establish the company's position in the commercial electric propulsion market and provides a platform for expanding into higher-powered applications. The 400HP model is scheduled to make its official debut at the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show (CIBS) in March 2027, following its preview at METSTRADE 2026. Its introduction will further broaden ExploMar's offering to vessel owners and operators exploring electric propulsion for larger and more demanding commercial fleets.
