Sirius has joined the Ocean Hyway Cluster
Ocean Hyway Cluster has announced that Sirius Design & Integration, an independent ship designer and system integrator, has joined the cluster.
Sirius Design & Integration is an independent ship designer and system integrator, working on innovative and new green technology for the international maritime and marine industry. They advise on new fuels and zero emission solutions and provides ship designs and electrical system solutions fit for alternative power sources. This includes both new builds and retrofit projects.
The company was established spring 2021. The owners are Håvard Sætre, Erik Haakonsholm, Henning Borgen, Christian Søvik - all with a background from the ship design and - shipbuilder company, Vard. Sirius-Co Invest is also one of the owners. Since establishing the company, they have been focused on building a strong concept portfolio within core markets, by working closely with shipowners and selected product and system suppliers. This work has already paid off with a partnership with Gen2 Energy, Fitjar Mekaniske Verksted and more to come.
First in the world
In April 2022 Sirius D&I signed a partnership agreement with cluster member Gen2 Energy. Together they will develop two specialized ships for transport of large quantities of containers with compressed hydrogen and will be the first of its kind worldwide.
The two container carriers of Gen2 Energy are large vessels that will be about 190 meters long and have a load capacity of 500 pieces of 40-foot containers. The vessels will be designed to leave the least possible climate footprint. Using hydrogen in the propulsion systems of the vessels will be part of the design work. The ship design is well underway. In addition to incorporating important safety aspects, Sirius will also develop an energy efficient ship that can operate on zero emission fuels.
This agreement is a definitive breakthrough for us and shows that we have brought with us the best of the best, says CEO Håvard Sætre in Sirius Design & Integration in the press release.
