NOSTEC Unveils EZconnect: Pioneering the Future of Maritime Charging

We are proud to announce the launch of our pilot project featuring EZconnect, NOSTEC’s cutting-edge charging solution developed specifically for the Yara Birkeland, the world’s first autonomous and fully electric container vessel.

This achievement is the result of strong collaboration and support from Innovation Norway, our committed investors—Protonic Partners, Kongsberg Innovasjon, and Nirigar—as well as our pilot partner, Yara International, whose vision and dedication to sustainable maritime innovation have been instrumental.
