MHO-Co A/S

MHO 1 is ready for new adventures from Świnoujście, Poland! We’re excited to share that our MHO 1 is now operating out of the port of Świnoujście, supporting offshore operations off the coast of Poland. Here, we’re helping transport crews safely back and forth to oil rigs – a crucial task where safety and reliability always come first. When working close to the rig, we use their FROG XT personnel transfer capsule to ensure a safe and smooth transfer between vessel and platform. This robust capsule handle even rough conditions, providing a secure experience for everyone involved. At MHO-Co, we always strive to deliver top-notch transport solutions for the offshore industry. We’re proud of our skilled crews and modern vessels, always ready to provide reliable and safe service. We look forward to an exciting time in Poland and to supporting our partners in their offshore projects! This video was recorded by our crew on MHO 1

Floating offshore wind turbines? Absolutely! These turbines stand on floating platforms, allowing installation in deep waters where traditional fixed turbines can't reach. Anchored to the seabed, they harness the stronger, more stable winds found further offshore, generating more energy while reducing visual impact along the coastline. Our MHO Esbjerg crew recently had the chance to operate close to these impressive floating giants. Initially, it was a unique challenge positioning the vessel alongside them to stabilize the anchor chains. But once they got the hang of it, it went smoothly! The crew was based in Peterhead, Scotland, where both captains underwent specialized pilot training to navigate the tight harbor space safely. With limited room for maneuvering, deck crew kept constant watch to ensure the vessel could avoid contact with the docks or tight harbor points. Check out the video of MHO Esbjerg departing Peterhead harbor and see the two photos showcasing the impressive offshore wind turbines! 

Beginning November 4th, Riviera Maritime Media Ltd will be holding a series of webinars focused on the latest developments in offshore charging and propulsion trends for vessel operations in the offshore wind industry. Join us for an exclusive session on November 7th from 09:00 to 10:00 GMT, where our Owner & CEO, Mik Henriksen, will present "New trends in propulsion concepts for Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs). Discover how innovation in CTV technology is driving safer, greener, and more efficient operations within the offshore wind industry. Join us as we discuss: - All-electric crew transfer vessels. - Using fuel cells on offshore wind vessels. - Optimising hull shape for increased efficiency. - Propulsion packages for next-generation CTVs. - Charting a route to hybrid propulsion. This is your chance to gain valuable insights, ask questions, and stay ahead of the curve in offshore wind support. #OffshoreWindWW Global Offshore Wind Community

Sunset at Sea Working in the offshore industry isn't just about challenges; it's also about enjoying the quiet moments that few others get to experience. There's something truly special about being surrounded by the open sea while the sun slowly sets, painting the sky in beautiful shades of orange, red, and purple. Teamwork, camaraderie, and respect for the forces of nature are at the core of our daily lives. While the days can be long, they are filled with a sense of community and purpose as we contribute to something meaningful. Seeing the wind turbines standing majestically in the sunset reminds us why we've chosen this lifestyle. Have you experienced similar moments in the offshore industry? We'd love to hear your stories and share the joy of the incredible work we do! Share your experiences with us in the comments below.

MHO-Co meets COSMO Eco Power from Japan – thanks to WindPal! We had a fantastic day at MHO-Co when we welcomed @Momoko Uchida and @Hirotake Mori from @COSMO Eco Power, LTD Japan. A big thank you to our partner in Japan and Korea, Windpal Co. Ltd. and to Peter Skou, for making this meeting possible! They came to learn more about where the CTV industry is heading, and we had a great conversation about how MHO-Co can support COSMO Eco Power's exciting plans in Japan. COSMO Eco Power is known for their impressive work in renewable energy and their dedication to creating a greener future. We shared our experiences with CTV technology and discussed how we can assist with their projects in the Japanese market. It's always inspiring to meet international partners who share our passion for innovation and sustainability. We look forward to exploring the exciting opportunities ahead and collaborating on new ventures!

MHO Balder recently completed a complex and critical engine replacement, where three of its motors were exchanged in record time. This task required close coordination between our experienced in-house mechanical team and the specialists from Autohuset Vester, an authorized Volvo Penta service provider. Through precise planning and outstanding technical skills, the motor replacement was carried out efficiently and safely. To provide an inside look at this process, our captain on MHO Balder took the initiative to document the entire operation in a timelapse video. This video showcases every phase of the replacement – from removing the old engines to installing the new ones – offering a behind-the-scenes view of the meticulous work involved. Watch the video and see how our team ensures that MHO Balder remains at peak performance, ready to meet the demands of our clients and the offshore wind industry.

Exciting Days at Energy People's Meeting 2024 in Esbjerg! We had two fantastic days at the town square on September 20-21, where we met many engaged participants. Many of you took part in our quiz, where the lucky winner will enjoy a unique experience! On stage, Mik shared MHO-Co's vision of taking the next step in CO2 reduction. As a leader in offshore support, we are already ahead of the 2030 goals that the rest of the world is striving to meet. Our newest vessels are equipped with cutting-edge green technology, and our older fleet is optimized and prepared for future upgrades. Although the approval of green fuels is still pending, we are ready to lead the way towards sustainable development. A special thanks to Kanda who were also at the stand, presenting their exciting VR solutions, which help ensure safe training for offshore wind workers and others in high-risk environments.

Green Transition in Maritime Transport – MHO-Co and Volvo Penta Leading the Way At MHO-Co, we are proud to collaborate with Volvo Penta in creating the sustainable solutions of the future for the maritime industry. Together with Volvo Penta, we have already implemented two generations of future-proofed CTV vessels, combining diesel or HVO-powered gensets with battery technology to optimize our energy consumption. This flexibility allows us to gradually switch from one energy source to another with smaller investments, significantly reducing our CO2 emissions. We look forward to continuing our journey towards a greener future and playing an active role in the transition to sustainable solutions in shipping. Volvo Penta is actively developing solutions like Power-to-X and fuel cells, but already offers several technologies that can be tailored to different vessels and needs. At MHO-Co, we are proud to be part of this transformation, where innovation meets practical solutions. Let’s navigate toward a greener future together!
