March 2022

UK shipowner Carisbrooke Shipping is trialing solar energy cells on the deck of one of its multi-purpose vessels.

The company has partnered with compatriot Grafmarine to trial its NanoDeck AI Solar tile management solution

“NanoDeck challenges the current reliance on fossil fuels by providing a clean and sustainable alternative renewable source of energy which can be attached to any flat surface – in this case, a cargo vessel – to capture, store and remotely manage clean energy generation via AI solar technology,” said Grafmarine founder Martin Leigh.

The tiles can be fitted to both new and existing vessels with Grafmarine aiming to commercialize the system next year.
