As we near completion of our Port of Aberdeen project, we are excited to be able to showcase the installation of the innovative vessel charging system. Special thanks to our supply chain partner Sinewave for providing this glimpse of our work in action! ๐Ÿ“ธ

The Shore Power system is set to revolutionise emissions reduction for ferries docked in Aberdeen. With a robust 1.7 MVA electrical supply, a state-of-the-art substation and an efficient quayside cable management system, paving the way for cleaner, quieter port operations.

This initiative is projected to mitigate over 1,300 tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually, significantly enhancing air quality and reducing noise pollution.

Hopkins Energy is proud to lead this endeavour as the principal contractor, collaborating closely with ABB Marine and Ports and Shorelink.ย ๐Ÿšขโšก๏ธ

We’re proud to celebrate a significant milestone for our Sales Director, Mike Jenkins โ€” 10 years (or 16, if you count his earlier tenure!) with Hopkins. ๐ŸŽ‰

Mike first joined Hopkins in the early 1980s during our formative years. After building a successful career elsewhere, he returned to Hopkins in 2015 to take on the role of Sales Director. In 2019, he joined our Board of Directors.

With decades of experience in the services sector, Mike brings a wealth of knowledge, leadership and industry insight. Heโ€™s a familiar face at networking events, trade shows, and conferences, where he continues to champion Hopkins in-house design and build services.

From initial concept (RIBA Stage 2) to construction, we ensured compliance with EFA’s requirements and client budget. Working closely with energy modelers, we designed high-efficiency M&E systems meeting stringent energy consumption criteria.

Our commitment to long term performance didnโ€™t end at handover.

โœ… Egham Gateway with Graham Construction

Thank you, Dom, for your decade of hard work and commitment. Here’s to many more years of success! ๐Ÿ‘
