- Stillstrom, part of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, joins the Maritime Battery Forum (MBF) to further its mission of zero-emission offshore power.
- The company provides offshore charging systems for hybrid and electric vessels, enabling emissions-free sea and port operations.
- Key initiatives include collaborations with ScottishPower Renewables, feasibility studies, harbour trials, and VR training.
- Founded in 2019, Stillstrom is scaling its technology globally with support from MBF’s international network.
The Maritime Battery Forum (MBF) has welcomed Stillstrom, a pioneering offshore charging company under the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, as its newest member. Stillstrom brings a fresh approach to clean power at sea, offering offshore charging solutions that allow vessels to draw renewable electricity while stationary, either at anchorage or in port, according to Clean Shipping International.
With its core mission of decarbonising offshore operations, Stillstrom’s solutions enable hybrid and fully electric service operation vessels (SOVs) to operate without fossil fuels, significantly lowering their CO₂, NOₓ, and SOₓ emissions. These innovations are helping to establish zero-emission anchorage zones, a transformational step for maritime sustainability.
From Concept to Impact: Stillstrom’s Journey
Stillstrom originated in 2019 as an innovation project within Maersk Supply Service, focused on cutting offshore emissions through electrification. Backed by the Danish Maritime Fund and a pivotal grant from the Danish Energy Agency’s EUDP programme, the company introduced its first offshore charging concepts in 2020.
A 2021 collaboration with Ørsted, a leading offshore wind company, marked a turning point, positioning Stillstrom as a key enabler of clean offshore infrastructure. Now operating independently under the Maersk umbrella, Stillstrom is focused on scaling and deploying its systems globally.
Ongoing Projects and Industry Collaborations
Stillstrom is engaged in several strategic initiatives, including:
- A partnership with ScottishPower Renewables.
- Feasibility studies for zero-emission anchorage zones
- Harbour trials and dynamic positioning (DP) testing
- VR-based crew training
- Integration planning for electric SOVs (eSOVs) in offshore wind farm designs
CEO Kristian Borum Jørgensen stated:
“We are thrilled to join the Maritime Battery Forum and collaborate with industry leaders to drive the green transition in the maritime sector. At Stillstrom, we are committed to delivering innovative offshore power solutions that reduce emissions and create a cleaner future for coming generations.”
Through its membership in MBF, Stillstrom aims to broaden its global reach, foster collaboration with regulators and innovators, and promote the adoption of clean energy technologies across the maritime sector.
