Development of stereoscopic cameras

Stream Ocean is distributing autonomous and low-maintenance underwater cameras made for long-term deployment in coral reef restoration projects. With AI-driven biodiversity assessments, we assess the underwater biodiversity and communicate it to project managers and various stakeholders. Although we are able to deliver biodiversity assessments, our project partners continue to request fish biomass information. With the help of the Blue Invest Community, we would like to adapt our technology and develop stereoscopic cameras which can provide this biomass information.

Development of the pre-commercial demonstrator

The development of a pre-commercial demonstrator (TRL-8) is the logical next step in the development of Equinox’s TT50 ocean current turbine at commercial scale. Since 2022, the company has performed 1:100 scale tank testing and executed further digital modeling of the turbine and stability concepts. In 2026, a 1:10 scale device will be launched for open water testing, advancing the turbine technology towards TRL6.

E-LLOYD

Our first product is the Butterfly, an asymmetric 12m long solar-proa with origin in the southern pacific. It has a far above average range of 24 h continuous drive and more than 200 km while carrying 12 people. 10 h are from the batteries and 14 more from the solar roof at an average Central European summer. The Boat is designed to be modular. The Deck is flat, that gives full freedom to the outfitting with furniture and accessories. The hull of the boat is modular as well. From the same parts a symmetric catamaran of 12 m can be build, that carries the double the load. The power train is modular. It can handle multiple power sources like, battery, solar-arrays, generator sets or fuel cells. We regard the power train as a separate product line.

EC16.5 Zero-Emission CTV Deployment — UAE Offshore Operations

Deployment of two EnviroCat EC16.5 fully electric, foil-assisted crew transfer vessels (CTVs) for offshore operations. The project targets the growing demand for zero-emission maritime logistics in the offshore energy sector, initially serving one of the region's largest offshore operators. The EC16.5 is a 16.5m high-speed catamaran with solid-state modular batteries, Volvo Penta e-IPS propulsion, and patented foil technology delivering approximately 50% drag reduction. The vessels will operate on established offshore crew transfer routes, replacing conventional diesel-powered CTVs. The project includes shore-side DC fast-charging infrastructure and is structured as an asset-backed vessel deployment with a secured charter arrangement.
