The company highlighted that the hull architecture was designed to accommodate upcoming electric builds, with the hull shape and propulsion system allowing for modifications when required by the offshore wind industry.
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director at HICO Investment Group, Chris Hartnoll, said the company is investing in advanced drive systems to prepare for the industry’s move towards full-electric drivetrains, adding that Emilia Jane represents another step on that pathway.
