The updated design features the option of an additional propulsion system on the rudder, providing twice the power during bollard push manoeuvres, as well as improved slow speed control when approaching the turbine. Artemis Technologies has partnered with Ørsted, Tidal Transit, and Lloyd’s Register, to deploy the first EF-12 CTV at Ørsted’s Barrow wind farm on the UK’s west coast next year. The project was awarded £2.4 million as part of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Round 3 (CMDC3), funded by the UK’s Department for Transport and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK.
