Support for the first years of Cormoran's development

Brittany-based start-up Cormoran has developed a concept of rigid solar wings for shipowners to propel merchant ships sustainably and supply them with electricity. Founded in 2024, the company has worked with naval architecture firm Ship-ST, of which it is a spin-off (a separate company but with the same shareholders), to develop this system. The solar wings rotate with the wind and automatically lie horizontal when the vessel is in port, at anchor, in strong winds or for maintenance purposes. Their modular design allows for all sizes, from 10 to 500 m², for ships ranging from 15 to 300 metres. Performance is guaranteed thanks to the rigidity - important for larger sizes - and the adapted aerodynamic profile. The photovoltaic panels that cover them produce more than 15 kW/100 m² whenever the sun shines. Approval in principle has been obtained from Bureau Veritas.

Susplus

Susplus is a climate-tech SaaS startup offering a Carbon Offset-as-a-Service (COaaS) platform designed to help corporates decarbonize their supply chains—specifically tackling the challenge of Scope 3 emissions, which often represent over 90% of a company’s carbon footprint. The platform integrates suppliers (especially SMEs) into verifiable insetting projects, providing automated Scope 3 profiling, AI-powered emission reduction recommendations, and hybrid blockchain verification for compliance. With early pilots underway in the seafood and aquaculture sectors, Susplus is turning complex ESG goals into actionable, measurable climate ROI—helping companies move beyond reporting and into real decarbonisation.

TEDEPAD

TEDEPAD® is the first system specially designed to treat guts that are gen- erated when processing fish on board fishing vessels, with the aim of completely exterminate their parasites; Especially the Anisákidos, obtaining that those viscera can be returned to the sea without adversely affecting the marine ecosystems. In this way it contributes to the reduction of the concentration of these parasites in the fishing grounds where our fleet operates.

TELESPAZIO FRANCE

Several problems threaten marine ecosystems such as anthropogenic activities (including overexploitation, overfishing, mass tourism, rising sea traffic, eutrophication, pollution) and the effects of global impacts (namely ocean acidification and climate change). For Marine-EO, the consortium led by Telespazio France, and composed of e-Geos, Telespazio, SUEZ and CMCC demonstrated strong experience in delivering robust innovative EO solutions. They are designed to tackle three environmental issues: 1. The monitoring of the marine environmental status in hot spots (Gulfs, Marine Protected Areas). 2. The detection of fish farms threats. 3. The detection of vessels and icebergs in Arctic areas for a better maritime awareness.

Teqplay BV

Teqplay has developed a digital twin of the port and port operations. The digital twin automatically collects public information required for safe and efficient operations and translates this information in relevant business events. This technology provides the basis for optimizing port call operations for all of the involved stakeholders. A port call (the overall process of vessels entering and departing from the port) involves up to 27 stakeholders. In essence does the digital twin provide a real-time shared point of truth (shared awareness) that enables predictable, faster and cheaper port call operations and creates the basis for collaboration.
