September 30, 2021 Ep.2: Could Crew Transfer Vessels be battery powered?
Finding alternative means of powering vessels is a key part of offshore wind’s strategy to decarbonise its supply chain. Many service vessels use hundreds of litres of fuel every day, so clearly there is an opportunity for improvement. But can fully electric vessels deliver the performance required, and what needs to change to achieve this?
In this episode, we hear from Leo Hambro, CEO and co-founder of Tidal Transit, and a champion of the electrification of CTV's. Tidal Transit has ambitions to bring the first fully electric CTV to the market. We discuss some of the challenges to bringing battery power to service vessels, as well how Leo got started in offshore wind.

September 01, 2021 Ep.1: How do new Crew Transfer Vessel operators get started in an established market?
Our analysis shows that the top ten CTV operators are taking 65-75% of demand, so it could seem that it’s not a good time for anyone with ambitions to build a fleet.
However, there are new businesses out there making a big impact on offshore wind support services.
In our very first episode of The Crow’s Nest, we talk to Tom Nevin, CEO and co-founder of HST Marine.
In three years, HST has brought four Damen FCS 2710's into operation, acquired and upgraded two existing vessels and has just launched HST Ella from Diverse Marine shipyard (this episode was recorded just before the launch of Ella) - but it doesn't stop there. HST Frances is now in build and two more vessels are on the way. Tom talks about his experiences in being a new operator in the field.
