Dutch offshore floating solar company SolarDuck and the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) have secured a €3.2 million subsidy from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) to develop an offshore floating power hub for remote subsea assets.

The Steady Seas research program will advance the foundational design of SolarDuck’s Offshore Floating Power & Utility Hub (OFPH), a single-platform offshore solar solution developed to provide power, communications and other utilities to remote offshore and subsea assets.
