REGENT and TotalEnergies Partner to Explore Use of Electric Seaglider for Maritime Travel to Offshore Energy Platforms
REGENT, the company pioneering the electric seaglider for sustainable high-speed maritime travel, and TotalEnergies, a french global multi-energy company that produces and markets energies and one of the top seven supermajor energy companies, announced the launch of a strategic partnership to explore the use of REGENT’s all-electric seaglider for maritime travel to offshore wind and oil platforms. The collaboration will comprise robust information exchange, active requirements development, and use-case validation.
“One of the core questions of the 21st Century is how we will meet our energy needs. Connecting our first-of-its-kind all-electric seaglider with a company as deeply committed to exploring the future of energy as TotalEnergies is tremendously exciting and as natural a partnership as we could envision,” said REGENT CEO Billy Thalheimer. “The REGENT seaglider promises to make maritime travel faster, more cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable. By collaborating with industry leaders like TotalEnergies, we are advancing towards the global transition to clean transportation.”
The partners will identify global offshore energy sites and pilot the REGENT seaglider along a route to a selected platform. Following the initial pilot, REGENT and TotalEnergies will explore new routes and conduct additional pilots to drive forward longer-term cooperation opportunities.
“We are excited to work with REGENT to explore new avenues for the deployment of all-electric seaglider technology that aims to make maritime transit greener and more efficient,” said Ludovic Macé, Manager Logistics and Support to Operations. "This partnership is part of TotalEnergies' strategy to be a key player in electric mobility and aligns with our strategic goals of reducing our carbon footprint and improving safety and operational efficiency”.
