Purus Wind contracts SEAONICS to supply the ECMC Gangway & Crane for new CSOVs

SEAONICS has received an order to supply the ECMC Gangway & Crane package for U.K based Purus Wind’s new CSOVs. The order includes delivery of equipment for two vessels, built by VARD for delivery in 2025 and 26.

Both vessels will be equipped with the all-electric ECMC Gangway & Crane bundled together in one package. The project represents an industry-first milestone, with both crane and gangway going electric. This is also an important contribution to the decarbonising initiatives in the industry.

“It is great to be able to work closely with a forward-thinking company like SEAONICS where operational feedback, design & innovation sessions allow us to continue to optimise offshore vessel performance” says General Manager for Purus Wind, Oliver MacManus.

Oliver MacManus (Purus Wind) and Ståle Fure (SEAONICS) with a firm handshake that marks the beginning of a promising collaboration.

“We’re humbled and honoured that Purus Wind has placed their trust in SEAONICS. With a proven track record, we shall continue to electrify offshore operations” says Ståle Fure, Head of Sales in SEAONICS.

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.
