Jebb Smith Ltd has successfully secured funding to help promote technological innovation in UK Maritime through Maritime Research and Innovation UK (MarRI-UK).
The funding will be used to develop the Oasis Power Buoy (OPB): an offshore charging unit for hybrid and electrical vessels. Expanding the design of their Mara Buoy range, a deck level mooring system originally refined for the leisure market, the Oasis Power Buoy will contain an electrical connection allowing crew transfer vessels to moor and recharge in-field.
The MarRI-UK initiative supported by the Department for Transport (DfT), will help develop technological innovation that improves UK Maritime services and operations.
