High‑performance offshore air systems for marine noise mitigation.
The ST3100 is the world’s only air compressor engineered specifically for big bubble curtain applications, helping operators reduce underwater noise and protect marine life during pile driving and offshore wind construction.
Designed for reliability in harsh offshore environments, the ST3100 delivers exceptional airflow performance from a compact, stackable 20ft CSC / DNV2.7‑1 certified container. This means that you can deploy powerful bubble curtain systems with reduced deck footprint, improved fuel efficiency and full compliance with global environmental requirements.
Why James Fisher?


High‑output airflow enabling effective bubble curtain formation during pile driving

Compact, stackable containerised design reduces offshore deck space requirements

ST3100
The ST3100 delivers up to 3100 cfm at 200 PSI, providing the airflow required for large‑scale bubble curtains that can reduce underwater noise by up to 90%. This performance supports regulatory compliance and protects sensitive marine habitats during offshore pile driving and foundation installation.
Its CAT Stage V / EPA Tier Four Final engine eliminates the need for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), simplifying offshore operations and reducing logistical requirements. The system’s low‑emission profile also supports environmental stewardship and compliance with European and US offshore emissions standards.
With a stackable footprint, you can achieve up to three to four times more compressed air output on the same deck area compared to traditional systems. This efficiency makes the ST3100 ideal for large offshore wind projects, subsea construction and contractors specialising in big bubble curtain deployment.
The ST3100 is available for offshore compressor hire, enabling flexible deployment for seasonal or project‑specific marine construction campaigns.
Every system is backed by James Fisher’s engineering expertise, operational support and global offshore experience— helping you deliver safe, compliant and environmentally responsible projects every time.
