The OPEN-C Foundation wishes to investigate the potential for reducing its carbon footprint, across all its operating cycles. The OPEN-C Foundation is therefore seeking expressions of interest from any shipowner or operator interested in a partnership to co-define and operate a low-emission offshore maintenance vessel. This vessel could then be chartered by the OPEN-C Foundation, according to its needs.
The OPEN-C Foundation operates several test sites and regularly charters ships for its operations. The foundation is now looking at ways to decarbonize offshore operations and reduce its carbon footprint.
Committed to reducing its carbon footprint, the Foundation is launching a call for expressions of interest from any owner or operator interested in a partnership aimed at co-defining and then operating a low-emission offshore maintenance vessel. This vessel could then be chartered by the OPEN-C Foundation, depending on its needs.
