Stillstrom, a division of A.P. Moller – Maersk, has unveiled two new offshore charging solutions to promote vessel electrification in offshore wind operations.
The Power Hub and Power Tower are standalone monopile-based structures designed to operate independently of existing wind turbine infrastructure. These solutions offer flexible offshore charging for current and future offshore wind farms.
The company states that the systems tackle the issue of delivering reliable electric power to vessels at sea, especially as wind projects grow larger and are situated further from shore.
“Our two new monopile systems address the industry’s longstanding challenge of synchronizing vessel electrification with infrastructure deployment,” said Stillstrom’s Detailed Engineering Manager, Koen Legrand.
Power Hub is a compact structure meant for existing wind farms, enhancing charging capabilities. Power Tower is for new projects, utilizing standard foundation installation methods akin to turbine structures.
The charging models expand Stillstrom’s solutions, with a demonstration trial slated for the fourth quarter of 2026 in Esbjerg, Denmark.
“Our mission is to reduce vessel emissions, a significant CO₂ source in offshore wind operations. Electrification of SOVs is crucial for complete decarbonization in the wind industry. The missing factor has been the infrastructure to support this at sea. Our new solutions provide practical, scalable options for developers and operators, offering offshore charging integrated within wind farm structures or as standalone installations,” stated Kristian Borum Jørgensen, CEO of Stillstrom.
