Wattlab delivers first full-scale Solar Flatrack installation on a newbuild coaster

Dutch scale-up and maritime solar energy innovators Wattlab have designed, installed, and delivered their first full-scale Solar Flatrack installation on a newbuild coaster - a global first!

After pilot projects with shipping and trading company Vertom, their new diesel-electric cargo ship MV Vertom Tula is now fully equipped with a seaworthy solar energy system

After officially launching Solar Flatrack in April this year, Wattlab is proud to announce this milestone aimed at realising sustainable shipping

Solar Flatrack is a plug-and-play solar power solution for oceangoing vessels, tested with Vertom and TNO. It’s modular, scalable, and brings significant reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (also in terms of Fuel EU Maritime and EU ETS regulations).
