Main sector: Aquaculture
Maritime transport is an essential link in the global economy. Today, more than 100,000 ships criss-cross the world’s ocean. Unfortunately, the sector is also responsible for more than 3% of global CO₂ emissions.
Faced with this challenge, 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.

We are working on floating, wind-powered "Offshore H2 Generators" that will be operated in sea areas with high wind speeds without a power grid connection. The hydrogen produced is then immediately stored in a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) and transported at intervals by shuttle tanker to nearby industrial ports (cf. FPSO process). We have been invited by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action to submit applications for "Prototype development of a floating offshore H2 generator and planning of GW offshore hydrogen farms". Now, with the help of BlueInvest, we want to start planning the financing of a prototype. This is a requirement for the subsequent construction of GW hydrogen farms with industrial/VC-investors within the EEZs of European states.

We design, build and operate bespoke hybrid power systems for marine applications.
The hybrid power system allows the existing diesel Genset to run at peak efficiency and then switches over to battery mode to provide power once fully charged. Renewable generation provides additional charge to the battery bank, further reducing the requirement for the diesel generator.
The operating principle is:
The electrical load is usually a fraction of generator capacity.
Excess generator capacity is used to charge the battery system.
Electricity for appliances is provided from the battery system.
The system is fully automated between the generator and battery controls.

DeckCell is a simple but effective system to prevent any container losses into the sea and to enhance fire safety in parallel as it would also provide a platform for the installation of advanced firefighting equipment at height to effectively fight burning containers stowed on deck. Furthermore DeckCell will make all manual lashing work at the containers stowed on deck obsolet.
