Artemis Technologies, a trailblazer in sustainable maritime transport, is spearheading a collaborative industry-led Research and Development project that has received £3 million of government backing through the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Round 4 (CMDC4).
The funding will support the real-world demonstration of the Belfast based maritime innovator’s first 24 passenger Crew Transfer Vessel (EF-24 CTV), which was initially developed thanks to previous funding from CMDC2.
In response to significant global interest from both wind farm developers and CTV operators, the demonstrations will prove the EF-24 CTV’s capability to operate safely under extreme wind and tide conditions – a key priority within the offshore wind industry.
The project will take place across multiple offshore UK windfarms, with Artemis Technologies working alongside an experienced consortium of partners, including Tidal Transit and Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult.
