Cochin Shipyard to build next-generation electric TRAnsverse tugs for Svitzer

Cochin, India and Copenhagen, Denmark – 8 December 2025. Svitzer, a leading global towage provider, and Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), India’s largest public sector shipyard, have signed a shipbuilding agreement for four 26–metre electric TRAnsverse (“TRAnsverse 2600e”) tugs to be constructed in India for Svitzer’s global fleet renewal and growth plans. 

The agreement confirms a Letter of Intent signed in October 2025 at India Maritime Week and marks the move from intent to a contracted new build agreement. 

Under the agreement, CSL will build a minimum of four battery–electric TRAnsverse 2600e tugs for Svitzer, with an option for up to four additional vessels. The tugs will be constructed to Svitzer’s specifications at CSL’s facilities in Cochin to serve as global fleet renewal and advancement in operations worldwide. The vessels complement a wider newbuilding program of the TRAnsverse tug design, cementing Svitzer’s confidence in the vessel’s capabilities while also opening opportunities for future deployment in Indian ports and terminals. 

The deal brings together Svitzer’s global expertise in sustainable towage solutions with CSL’s proven shipbuilding capabilities, skilled workforce and local innovation. It supports India’s ambition to become a global maritime manufacturing and skills hub under Maritime India Vision 2030, Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047 and the “Make in India” initiative.  

The TRAnsverse 2600e tugs are the electric version of the next–generation tug design proving itself as the world’s most advanced and efficient tug. The ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of tugs: the TRAnsverse design can operate in complex and close–quarter operating contexts, with all ship types and sizes in challenging weather and tidal conditions. The vessels will feature battery–electric propulsion and offer port and terminal operations zero direct emissions during harbour operations when charged from green power sources.  

The tug’s patented staple with double–ended hull and in–line propulsion with omni–directional thrust expands the dynamic operating envelope in towage of up to 50%.   

Kasper Karlsen, Chief Operating Officer, Svitzer, said: 
“This contract with Cochin Shipyard for our next series of electric TRAnsverse tugs reflects our commitment to Make in India and to support port and terminal operations in their green transition and decarbonisation objectives.  

 “India has strong shipbuilding capabilities and a highly skilled workforce. Through this collaboration with CSL, we are not only investing in a series of advanced tugs for our own operations – we are also helping to build capacity for world–class, low– and zero–emission tug construction in India – signalling our trust in India’s existing capability and maritime vision. 

We welcome the opportunity to work closely with the CSL team to deliver these vessels and, in doing so, to support the goals of Maritime India Vision 2030 and Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047 in a very practical way.” 

Dr Harikrishnan S, Operations Director, Cochin Shipyard Limited, said: 
“We look forward to delivering the next generation of tug, the TRAnsverse 2600e, drawing on CSL’s skilled workforce and our track record in complex, high‑spec vessels. This agreement represents a natural expansion of our capabilities into advanced tug design and the industrialisation of battery‑electric and future‑fuel‑ready technologies in India. 

The programme will deepen our expertise in electric propulsion, high‑precision manoeuvring systems and integrated digital solutions for ports and terminals, while creating opportunities for our engineers, designers and local supply chain. 

As a Government of India company, we remain committed to Make in India and to the decarbonisation of maritime transport. Together with Svitzer, our goal is to deliver a world‑class asset with significant decarbonisation credentials for ports in India and around the world.” 

The first four vessels under the agreement are expected to enter construction over the coming months, with the first delivery targeted no earlier than late 2027 / early 2028, subject to detailed design, yard scheduling and regulatory approvals. Further vessels may follow in line with Svitzer’s fleet renewal plans and customer demand.

  • un comportement antipathogène de surface contribuant à réduire lʼadhérence microbienne sur les implants.
  • un support ostéogénique pour favoriser la croissance et lʼintégration osseuses.
  • une visualisation améliorée par rapport au PEEK standard pour lʼimagerie peropératoire et postopératoire.
  • une liberté de conception grâce à la fabrication additive assistée par lʼIA en vue dʼobtenir des géométries propres à chaque patient.
  • un filament évolutif et homogène pour prendre en charge la production à forte mixité et faible volume caractéristique des flux de travail personnalisés.

Avec lʼaccord dʼapprovisionnement conclu aujourdʼhui, les parties envisagent de mettre le composé SiN/PEEK à la disposition dʼautres fabricants agréés dans le cadre dʼindications complexes dʼimplants où les propriétés du nitrure de silicium peuvent apporter une valeur ajoutée sur le plan clinique et économique.

Les efforts humanitaires à court terme de SINTX portent principalement sur les indications traumatologiques et oncologiques pour les cas post–résection tumorale, où les chirurgiens sont confrontés à une anatomie complexe et à un risque dʼinfection, et où des conceptions sur mesure peuvent favoriser un ajustement, une fixation et des résultats cliniques globaux améliorés, a déclaré le Dr Ryan Bock, directeur technique de SINTX. « Nous répondons aux demandes concrètes des chirurgiens dans le domaine des soins oncologiques. Notre priorité actuelle est axée sur les utilisations à des fins humanitaires, tandis que nous mettons en place les systèmes qualité, les dossiers réglementaires et les capacités de production nécessaires pour étendre nos activités à dʼautres indications par le biais des procédures réglementaires de la FDA. »

SINTX Technologies Signs Supply Agreement with EVONIK to Manufacture Silicon Nitride–PEEK Compound for AI-Assisted, 3D-Printed Patient-Specific Implants

Milestone enables immediate production of SiN/PEEK custom devices

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT) (“SINTX” or the “Company”), an advanced ceramics and biomaterials company, today announced that it has signed a supply agreement with Evonik Corporation (“EVONIK”), a global leader in high‑performance polymers, to manufacture the Company’s proprietary silicon nitride–PEEK compound (SiN/PEEK) (U.S. Patent No. 10,806,831) engineered for AI‑assisted additive manufacturing of patient‑specific implants that will be produced using equipment already in place at SINTX’s U.S.–based production facility.

Under the agreement, EVONIK will produce SiN/PEEK compound leveraging its commercial–scale capability to SINTX’s specifications, enabling the Company to immediately begin manufacturing AI‑designed, 3D‑printed, patient‑specific implants. SINTX has already received physician requests to provide humanitarian‑use vertebral body replacement (VBR) implants for orthopedic and neurosurgical oncology patients following tumor resections in the spine. In addition, the Company intends to use the SiN/PEEK compound to support regulatory clearances of patient matched and traditional subtractive manufactured implantable devices.

Eric K. Olson, Chairman, President & CEO of SINTX, said, “This agreement with EVONIK is another pivotal moment for SINTX and for the field of patient‑specific implants. By combining EVONIK’s industrial‑scale PEEK polymer manufacturing expertise with SINTX’s silicon nitride biomaterial manufacturing capabilities, we can deliver next‑generation implants that address critical needs in trauma, spine, oncology, and beyond. We believe SiN/PEEK offers compelling advantages over standard PEEK, including antipathogenic surface characteristics, osteogenic potential, and improved visualization—features that matter in complex, high‑risk procedures.”

Marc Knebel, head of EVONIK’s Medical Devices & Systems market segment, said, “We are excited to support SINTX in bringing a high‑performance SiN/PEEK composite filament to market for additive and subtractive manufacturing of regulated medical devices. This is another example of enabling innovation that EVONIK has delivered to improve medical outcomes. Our collaboration is designed to provide consistent quality, supply reliability, and scalability—foundational elements for our continued broader collaboration and data generation to support future medical device market work.”

Why SiN/PEEK for Patient–Specific Implants

SINTX’s silicon nitride has been studied for its antipathogenic behavior and osteogenic properties, while PEEK composites are valued for radiolucency and mechanical tunability. The SiN/PEEK combination aims to deliver:

  • Antipathogenic surface behavior to help reduce microbial adherence on implant surfaces.
  • Osteogenic support to promote bone on–growth and integration.
  • Improved visualization vs. standard PEEK for intra–operative and post–operative imaging.
  • Design freedom via AI–assisted, additive manufacturing for patient–specific geometries.
  • Scalable, consistent filament to support high–mix, low–volume production typical of patient–specific workflows.

With today’s supply agreement, the parties envision making SiN/PEEK compound available to other qualified manufacturers for complex implant indications where silicon nitride’s attributes may add clinical and economic value.

SINTX’s near‑term humanitarian efforts are focused on trauma and oncology indications for post‑tumor resection cases, where surgeons face challenging anatomy and infection risk, and where patient‑specific designs may facilitate better fit, fixation and overall clinical outcomes, stated Dr. Ryan Bock, SINTX Chief Technology Officer. “We’re responding to real‑world surgeon requests in oncology‑related care. Our immediate focus is on humanitarian‑use cases while we build the quality systems, regulatory files, and production capacity to expand into additional indications through appropriate FDA pathways.”
