Sea1 Offshore Expands Fleet with Two Additional Offshore Energy Support Vessels 

Sea1 Offshore has signed shipbuilding contracts with Cosco Shipping for two additional high-end Offshore Energy Support Vessels (OESVs), following the initial order announced on 4 November 2024. The vessels, based on the same advanced design as the first two, will be equipped to support both oil & gas and renewable energy markets, reinforcing Sea1 Offshore’s commitment to versatile and sustainable offshore operations.

Designd by Skipsteknisk the ST-245 design is developed to the meet the specifications set by the market and by SEA1 Offshore.

The vessels will be 120 meters in length, featuring a spacious open deck of 1,400 m² and accommodation for up to 120 people. They will be equipped with a 250-ton subsea crane and two integrated WROV hangars with side-launch capability. The designs are also prepared for the future installation of an offshore gangway, making them suitable for offshore wind operations.

The ST-245 designs will be equipped with modern technology to reduce emissions and maximize operational efficiency. They are methanol-ready, and the generators can operate on 100% biofuel, offering a flexibility that customers will appreciate

The ST-245 Offshore Energy Support Vessels  will mainly be used for:

  • Commissioning and recycling work
  • Support for the energy industry
  • Subsea operations

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.
