RESTORE project

This project RESTORE is part of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Round 3 (CMDC3), which was announced in September 2022, funded by the Department for Transport and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK. As part of the CMDC3, the Department allocated £60m to 19 flagship projects supported by 92 UK organisations to deliver real world demonstration R&D projects in clean maritime solutions. Projects will take place in multiple locations around the UK from as far north as the Shetland Isles and as far south as Cornwall. 

In this project RESTORE (Retrofittable Propulsion System for Electric Vessels with Hydrogen Range Extender) under the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition -3 the consortium partners will develop, test and deploy an innovative propulsion unit using a combined battery and hydrogen internal combustion engine on a Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) between the Port of Blyth and an offshore windfarm. The project will extend the operational CTV's range using scalable powering and propulsion technologies to mitigate emissions at low cost.‌
