The Oasis Power Buoy is being upgraded to its pre-production version!
Offshore charging is a key innovation for the marine energy transition to allow the use of electric vessels offshore. Just like with electric vehicles, electric vessels need confidence in reliably getting their next charge.
With this goal in mind, recently the Oasis Power Buoy prototype was taken to Wilkie Engineering for modifications as part of our InnovateUK CMDC3 project. Having previously proven the generation one prototype, design optimisations have been ongoing improving elements of the buoy.
One of these is upgrading the offshore connection method and includes a redesign of the top of the buoy which we look forward to sharing in a future update.
