SeaTech Solutions International (SSI), a leading provider of vessel designs for the marine and offshore sectors, has entered into a collaboration agreement with Pascal Technologies of Norway to develop advanced AirHull vessels. This partnership aims to develop high-performing vessel designs by combining SSI’s renowned design expertise with Pascal’s innovative, energy-efficient AirHull Surface Effect technology to create high-performance vessel designs.

Under this collaboration, the vessels will carry the SSI design brand and incorporate Pascal’s unique AirHull technology alongside their proprietary Ride Control System, which significantly reduces energy consumption by up to 50%. These vessels are intended for various high-speed applications across the global marine and offshore industries and will be marketed worldwide. Central to this partnership is a shared commitment to sustainability, focusing on the development of reliable, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly vessels aligned with Vision 2030 for electric and zero-carbon harbor vessels.

CEO of Pascal Technologies, Dr. Carl Fredrik Rehn said, “Partnering with SeaTech Solutions is a great opportunity for us to combine expertise and innovation to drive sustainable change in the maritime industry. Together, we’re setting the stage for a new generation of high-performance, energy-efficient vessels. This collaboration will open up exciting possibilities globally, and I’m looking forward to what we can achieve together.”

Expressing enthusiasm about the partnership, SSI’s VP of Technology, Mr. Prabjot Chopra said, “We are excited to partner with Pascal Technologies of Norway on this energy-efficient solution for electric fast boats. We are setting a new standard for sustainable, energy-efficient vessels. This is another milestone in Norwegian-Singapore Maritime Green Tech cooperation, and we are proud to be part of this transformative initiative.”

This collaboration between SSI and Pascal Technologies marks a significant step forward in vessel design and sustainability, promising to deliver high-performing, energy-efficient electric vessels globally.
