Orbital Marine has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise £4m and help it start the next step of its journey.
The company - with offices in Edinburgh and Orkney - is looking to raise the money via the Abundance platform by 15 June, offering a 12-year term, with extra monies potentially coming from future power purchase agreements.
It has so far managed to capture more than 80 investors and more than £2m in funding.
