ADNOC L&S to deploy zero-emission seagliders for offshore transportation

January 28, 2025

ADNOC Logistics and Services (ADNOC L&S) has joined with an Abu Dhabi seaglider operator to introduce REGENT seagliders into its fleet. ADNOC L&S will use the all-electric seagliders to transport people to and from offshore oil and gas infrastructure.

“REGENT could ask for no better end user for seagliders in UAE than the largest energy producer in the country and leader in innovation and sustainability,” said Billy Thalheimer, Co-founder and CEO, REGENT. “Seagliders will drastically reduce the time, cost, and emissions of offshore energy logistics, and we look forward to working together to set a new standard for the energy industry.”

REGENT commends the Viceroy seaglider, which can carry 12 passengers or 3,500lbs (1,600kg) of payload, for its multiple efficiencies for the offshore energy logistics industry overall.

REGENT highlights the Viceroy seaglider for its multiple benefits and efficiency for the offshore energy logistics industry, claiming fast commutes on par with helicopter transport, up to 80% operational cost reduction, and zero emissions resulting in up to 550MM kg of CO2e offsets per year.
