ABS and Seatrium have enhanced their long-running partnership on cutting-edge marine and technology projects with the signing of a three-year Technology Collaboration Agreement (TCA) at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC).
State-of-the-art projects
Entitled 'Accelerating Decarbonisation and Energy Transition', the agreement is the foundation for further collaboration on a succession of state-of-the-art projects under four broad themes: decarbonisation, electrification, new energies, and digital transformation.
The agreement aims to support the commercialisation of a broad range of innovative technological advancements and solutions, green retrofit products, and services such as carbon capture, electrification, and energy efficiency measures.
Decarbonisation and digitalisation
“Together, ABS and Seatrium have a remarkable history of pioneering the technological frontiers in the marine and offshore industries,” said Christopher J. Wiernicki, ABS Chairman and CEO.
He adds, "Our shared vision for the future, combined with our twin cultures of innovation and collaboration means 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."
Energy transition
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."
He adds, "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.”
