Maersk AHTS undergoes industry-first conversion with battery pack

A Maersk spokesperson said the conversion of Maersk Minder should be completed by June 2022.

“Maersk Supply Service has set ambitious decarbonisation targets to halve our carbon intensity by 2030 (as compared with a 2018 baseline) and to reach net-zero operations by 2040. We are committed to doing everything we can to meaningfully reduce emissions through changing behaviours, implementing new technologies and extending collaboration across the industry,” the company wrote in a social media post.

Based on a Salt design, Maersk Minder is a powerful, dynamic positioning class 2-capable AHTS, with an overall length of 95 m, beam of 25 m, depth of 11 m, outfitted with a covered remotely operated vehicle garage for one work-class ROV, a 450-tonne drum anchor handling winch and 500-tonnne double-drum towing winches.
“We are therefore especially proud to be able to support Ross Offshore, as one of the most active vessel charterers on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, and look forward to delivering safe and sustainable operations for their clients,” said Maersk.

The Offshore Support Journal Conference will be held 15 June 2022. Details and tickets can be found here
