Energy Observer - Amsterdam
Energy Observer has been welcomed on the 5th of April by Philippe Lalliot, Ambassador of France to the Netherlands, and representatives of the City and Port of Amsterdam. On the 12th of April, the High Level Experts Meeting for Hydrogen Mobility will also be held at the Port of Amsterdam’s headquarters, opposite the Eye Museum (a film museum designed by the Viennese architectural firm Delugan-Meissl) and Centraal Station.
A new embarked technology
This stopover will also be a very important time for Energy Observer engineers, with the installation in mid-April of a real technological breakthrough in wind propulsion: two Oceanwings® wings, rotating, mounted and 100% automated, which will increase the ship’s overall energy efficiency. A system never before tested on the scale of such a large boat, and which could well revolutionize the maritime transport of the future. Finally, this stopover will also be an important step for Energy Observer’s media teams, who will meet exemplary and innovative initiatives in recycling, sustainable buildings and future agriculture and highlight the stated ambition of a region that has set itself the goal of 100% emission-free electricity by 2050.
