Simon M?kster Shipping Continues Their Hybridization Journey with SEAM
In February 2016, Stril Mar was handed over from Astilleros Gondan, Spain, to?Simon M?kster Shipping AS . The PSV has now undergone a transformative upgrade, becoming a hybrid ship with the complete e-SEAMatic? BLUE hybrid system from SEAM ??
In a strategic move to enhance energy efficiency, M?kster Shipping opted for a containerized solution of the?e-SEAMatic? BLUE?hybrid system, a popular option for ship owners looking to hybridize their offshore vessels, reduce the investment burden, and optimize space on board.
- We are in the midst of an important modernization and energy efficiency journey at M?kster, and we are very pleased to have SEAM onboard as a systems partner for Stril Mar and Stril Server. The project so far has been executed efficiently and professionally, and we want to thank SEAM and all our partners for a great collaboration, says Technical superintendent at Simon M?kster Shipping, Lucas Farrell.
Taking Advantage of the Digital Evolution
Not just data - but the right data! That's what?John Roger 's message was during the expert panel on digitalisation and connectivity, at the Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference ??
Smart shipping - or smart maritime operations - are characterized by the application of digitalization and advanced technologies to enhance both onboard and onshore operational processes.
Systems such as alarm monitoring, power management, dynamic positioning, integrated navigation systems, maintenance, and engines, have been digitized, acting as a catalyst for smart shipping or operations.
However, the key to creating smart ships lies not just in the collection of data, but the evaluation of relevant data and its transformation into smarter operations.
“Owners need the right data, not just more data. We are collecting a lot of signals and information. What is important is knowing what we need to learn from the data and analytics".

Second Hydrogen-Powered Barge Launched in Rotterdam
While emissions are increasing, the roads in Europe are filled with diesel-powered trailers and trucks. The EU want to move more of the transport to the inland waterways, and go full throttle on green, zero-emission solutions - such as the EU-funded Flagships H2020 Project .
On the 8th of February, Future Proof Shipping launched its second hydrogen-powered inland cargo vessel, officially named H2 Barge 2 at Holland Shipyards Group's yard just outside Rotterdam.
The inland vessel has undergone a complete retrofit from traditional internal combustion technology, to state-of-the-art hydrogen fuel technology, with six fuel cell modules - providing a total fuel cell capacity of 1.2MW.
SEAM is a proud contributor and we are excited to see the results of both vessels as they lead a new charge of zero-emission inland shipping in Europe.
SEAM expands its green footprint to Bergen!
We have opened new offices in Bergen. This strategic expansion marks an important step in our goal to contribute to maritime development and help shipping companies achieve their energy efficiency goals.
The new Bergen office - which is in Godvik, a ten-minute ride from the city centre - positions SEAM at the heart of a vibrant maritime community. A community which serves as an innovation hub, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange between industry players and academia.
- This expansion underlines our commitment to making a difference, both locally and globally. The Bergen office will play a significant role in the scaling of our products and solutions, in our efforts to create cleaner and greener solutions for the maritime future. But, we need more talented people to join the team. Right now, we are looking for service technicians and engineers who want to be based in Bergen, but we are always looking for talented people with other professional skills who want to join us on the journey, says CEO of SEAM, Gunvald Mortvedt.
