In recent years, iconsys has built a wealth of experience delivering complex systems and solutions into the maritime sector. Its innovative offshore and onshore vessel power solution, iConvert™, has been selected to support Maersk Supply Service on its Stillstrom project. This full-scale power buoy for vessels will see our solution help deliver wind farm energy to vessels offshore. The business has also received funding from the Department of Transport for CMDC2, allowing further development of the iconsys solution in partnership with CEMEX UK and Warwick University with the aim of allowing commercial vessels with high-peak transient loads to commence discharge activities while connected to shore power by incorporating energy storage.

Visitors to the Subsea Expo 2023, in Aberdeen, between 21-23 February, will have the opportunity to meet Jordan at the iconsys stand located at 120.
