A North East marine engineering company has launched what it says is a "world first" technology that will allow offshore wind farm support vessels to charge directly from wind turbines.
Stockton's MJR Power and Automation presented the ground-breaking charging system to the global maritime industry at the recent Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition (CMDC) Final Showcase in Portsmouth.
The firm's innovation is one of the flagship projects to come out of the competition which has distributed £23m of research and development funding to 55 projects across the UK to support the design and development of zero-emission shipping technologies and greener ports.
