Japan-based Eco Marine Power Co. Ltd. (EMP) today said that, as part of an ongoing strategy to bring renewable energy solutions to the maritime sector, the company, along with its strategic partners, will jointly offer renewable energy products and solutions for offshore applications.

These products and solutions will feature marine solar power, batteries, and integrated monitoring systems, as well as engineering and design services.

Marine batteries, which will initially include the Furukawa Cycle Power (FCP) and Ultra Battery (UB) series, will be supplied by EMP in cooperation with the Furukawa Battery Company.

EMP notes that, for offshore marine solutions, Teramoto Iron Works will provide marine grade frames for solar panels and batteries, and support engineering design.

"EMP will promote its Aquarius Marine Solar Power package to companies operating within the offshore sector including shipyards, offshore platform operators and rig owners," the company explains.

In February, EMP announced that, along with several shipping companies and technology partners, it has initiated a detailed study on the practical applications of its EnergySail and Aquarius MRE technologies, including the possible fuel saving and CO2 emission reduction capacities of the technology.
