From submarines to surface fleets — building scalable defence capability. The announcement that KONGSBERG will deliver ORCCA® combat system elements to the German and Norwegian 212CD submarines is an important milestone — not only for the program itself, but for what it represents going forward. 212CD clearly demonstrates how standardization, long-term cooperation and trusted industrial partnerships can translate into real, operational capability over decades. It is a model that goes well beyond submarines. The same principles are now highly relevant for standardized surface vessel programs, where nations are seeking: • faster capability delivery • predictable cost and lifecycle management • interoperability with allies • and exportable solutions Vanguard is our answer to this challenge. Developed as a solution to the Standardized Vessel program, Vanguard builds on the same logic: a scalable, modular, and combat-system-ready platform designed for rapid deployment and long-term growth — at home and with international partners. On a personal level, it is motivating to work at the intersection of technology, strategy and industrialization, helping shape concepts that strengthen national defence while also unlocking sustainable export potential for Norwegian industry. The demand is there. The technology is there. The next step is execution.

A major milestone for HD Iceland. Today we received a geothermal turbine rotor, the first rotor to be mounted on lathe number two at our rotor workshop. With two lathes now in place, we can handle multiple rotor overhauls simultaneously. This winter, two rotors will undergo repairs at our facility. This capability is not only important for HD Iceland, but also for our customers and the nation’s energy security. Being able to carry out such complex repairs domestically is a key factor in ensuring reliable and sustainable energy services. Over the past decade, HD has built up the expertise and technical know-how to establish and operate rotor workshops anywhere in the world. #Geothermal #EnergySecurity #CleanEnergy #Iceland #Rotor #Turbine #rotorrepair

REINERTSEN New Energy AS joins The Norwegian Forum for Marine Minerals (NMM)😊 We are proud to announce that Reinertsen New Energy are joining as a member of the Norwegian Forum for Marine Minerals (NMM). NMM plays a vital role in shaping Norway’s approach to marine minerals. The global need for minerals is growing rapidly. The energy transition depends on access to critical resources for batteries, wind, solar, hydrogen and electric infrastructure. Land-based mining and recycling will only cover part of this demand. Marine mineral deposits – including sulphides rich in copper, zinc, and gold, as well as manganese crusts containing cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements – may become a crucial part of the solution. Norway is uniquely positioned to lead this development, combining world-class offshore expertise from oil and gas. With ongoing governmental processes to assess the environmental, technological, and financial aspects of extraction, we are standing at the threshold of what may become a new resource industry for Norway. For Reinertsen New Energy, this is also another example of how our subsea engineering excellence – developed over decades – is directly transferable to new and sustainable market verticals. We look forward to contributing to NMM’s important work and to help shape the future of marine minerals in Norway and beyond.

𝐍𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲-𝐡𝐲𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 The contract, valued at SEK 97 million, was secured by Stockholm Repairyard (Stockholms Reparationsvarv AB), with Zeabuz and Metstech providing the essential automation and energy technologies for the transformation of Färjerederiet's NEPTUNUS. The project will deliver a complete automation and energy solution to enhance safety, efficiency, and environmental performance on the Gullmarsleden route between Finnsbo and Skår in Bohuslän—an essential part of Sweden’s transport network. As part of the conversion, Zeabuz will implement an advanced automated transit system that enables NEPTUNUS to navigate precisely between docks. The system autonomously manages acceleration, steering, and positioning, optimizing battery use, reducing operator workload, and ensuring stable and predictable operations on this high-frequency route. Metstech will supply and integrate the new battery system, allowing NEPTUNUS to operate with high energy efficiency and to recharge rapidly during normal turnaround times. The retrofit, to be carried out at Stockholm Repair Yard, represents a significant investment in next-generation, sustainable ferry technology. It also demonstrates how automation and smart energy systems can deliver immediate performance gains for public ferry fleets. 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 https://lnkd.in/dV6xzUHJ

🚀 Commercial launch after successful test operation DET’s second LNG terminal in Wilhelmshaven will commence commercial operation tomorrow (August 29). Thanks to successful cooperation with Excelerate Energy, Gasfin and KN Energies during commissioning, we can now welcome the first LNG carrier from our July marketing round. Dr. Peter Röttgen, Managing Director of DET, explains, "Wilhelmshaven 02 combines several technologies unique in Germany and Europe: On the one hand, ECOnnect Energy's flexible pipeline system for direct transfer of natural gas to land without a pipe bridge. This has significantly reduced the impact on the seabed ecosystem. On the other hand, the ultrasonic process for cleaning the FSRU's seawater pipeline system. We would like to thank everyone involved for this successful transition to commercial operation and for their outstanding work." The Wilhelmshaven02 terminal can now contribute to security of supply and to filling the gas storage facilities before the next heating season. For this purpose, DET offered the market corresponding regasification capacities in a marketing round at the beginning of July. These capacities were fully purchased by traders, as were all for 2026. In 2025, Excelsior will feed up to 1.9 billion cubic meters of natural gas into the German gas grid. This corresponds to the annual natural gas consumption for heating 1.5 million four-person households in multi-family homes. In the two subsequent years, Excelsior's regasification will then reach up to 4.6 billion cubic meters each. #SecurityofSupply #LNG #Wilhelmshaven #Infrastructure

There is an ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITY for biofuels (ethanol, methanol, etc.) to supply fuels to the maritime sector. Duel-fuel engines like this are quickly becoming commercial. The agricultural and timber industries need to realize this opportunity and PUSH their governments to incentivize and enable the growth of these biofuel applications. BioCarbon Strategies focuses on financing and developing #SustainableMaritimeFuels projects along with #SAF and other renewable fuels and chemicals.
