New solutions to support emissions-reduction goals for future vessel designs are on their way thanks to the signing of a Memorandum Of Understanding between Caterpillar Marine and Strategic Marine.
Singapore-headquartered Strategic Marine is internationally renowned for producing quality, high-performance ships for commercial, defence and security use around the globe. Caterpillar Marine is part of Houston, USA-headquartered Caterpillar Inc. - the world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, off-highway diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives.
“Our collaboration with Strategic Marine brings together immense expertise that allows Caterpillar Marine to innovate and support the ongoing energy transition. This is an exciting challenge to tackle, but most importantly it fosters our industry’s goal to reach lower-carbon operations,” said Brad Johnson, vice president and general manager, Caterpillar Marine. “With our shared vision and Caterpillar’s innovative technologies, we look forward to working with Strategic Marine Shipyard to advance the future for the maritime industry.”
Strategic Marine is driving towards lower-emission propulsion right across its product range, from Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) for the offshore wind industry to Fast Crew Boats (FCBs) for the offshore oil and gas industry and other classes of vessels.
“Providing ships that help our customers lower the emissions of their operations is paramount to us,” said Mr. Eng Yew Chan, CEO of Strategic Marine. “We are excited to work with Caterpillar Marine to help lower emissions in the industry.”
