Seatrium, a global provider of engineering solutions to the offshore, marine, and energy industries, has announced a three-year Technology Collaboration Agreement (TCA) with ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2024 in Houston, Texas. This agreement builds on the successful history of collaboration between the two organisations and aims to accelerate decarbonisation and energy transition in the maritime and offshore sectors.
The TCA with ABS, aptly titled 'Accelerating Decarbonisation & Energy Transition', will focus on four key themes: Decarbonisation, Electrification, New Energies, and Digital Transformation. The goal is to develop and commercialise green retrofit products and services, including but not limited to carbon capture, energy efficiency enhancement measures such as air lubrication systems and wind assisted propulsion as well as the integration of low/zero carbon energy sources on offshore assets, electrification, and digital technologies.
Mr Chris Ong, CEO of Seatrium, said, 'Seatrium is making significant strides in our visionary approach to engineering a sustainable, low-carbon energy future. This progress is achievable through pivotal industry collaborations with organisations like ABS. We are more than just partners; we are natural allies united by a shared mission and driven by a powerful vision for a sustainable future. ABS and Seatrium have achieved great successes through our previous collaborations, and we are committed to harnessing our distinct strengths and capabilities to push the boundaries and transform the way we approach decarbonisation, energy transition, and digital transformation.'
Dr Christopher J. Wiernicki, Chairman and CEO of ABS, said, 'Together, ABS and Seatrium have a remarkable history of pioneering the technological frontiers in the marine and offshore industries. Our shared vision for the future, combined with our twin cultures of innovation and collaboration, mean we are well placed to safely deliver the rapid technological advance our industry needs if we are to meet emissions targets and capitalise on the opportunities offered by decarbonisation and digitalisation.'
