TechnipFMC and Bombora Wave Power have entered into a partnership to develop a floating offshore energy platform, integrating wind with the mWave wave energy technology.
Tractebel Overdick has developed a new floating wind foundation concept for 15+ MW wind turbines with a “hydrogen ready” option, and an offshore hydrogen production platform which can utilise the potential of large-scale offshore wind farms at an industrial scale of up to 800 MW. The new floater des
The iFROG robot that cleans and inspects monopiles has completed trials at Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult’s National Renewable Energy Centre in Blyth. iFROG is an amphibious robot capable of working in teams to clean and inspect monopiles above water level and up to 60 meters below (~6 bar
Danish company Floating Power Plant has appointed Ulrikke Ekelund as a new member of its board of directors.
ZeroNorth, a digital spin-off from Maersk Tankers, and maritime software developer Veson Nautical have entered into a strategic product partnership. The agreement will allow ZeroNorth’s vessel optimisation software, Optimise, to integrate with the Veson IMOS Platform (VIP), a solution for commercial
Oilfield services provider Petrofac has signed a three-year partnership with workflow automation software provider Intoware to develop and deploy workflow automation software specifically tailored to the oil and gas industry.
Alternative fuels are gaining traction in the maritime industry amid growing regulatory pressure and currently, they account for 3.5% of the fleet, and 27% of the order book by tonnage, data from Clarksons Research shows.
First Subsea and James Fisher Offshore (JFO) have completed a testing milestone in their joint development of a combined ‘Internal Cut and Lift’ tool. The project is part of an Oil and Gas Technology Centre co-investment initiative seeking to reduce the costs of decommissioning. A series of underwat
Swedish developer Minesto has delivered clean electricity to the Faroese grid as part of the ongoing commissioning work of its DG100 tidal kite system in Vestmannasund.
Kongsberg Maritime has launched the EM 304 MKII, the newest addition to its portfolio of deep-water multibeam echo sounders. According to Kongsberg, the new mapping system significantly improves upon the performance of the MKI model, boosting range from a previous maximum of 8,000 metres to full oce
Ocean Energy Europe (OEE) and International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to expand existing cooperation and accelerate the commercialisation of ocean energy technologies.
The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO), together with the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas), have invited innovators to identify how marine geospatial data can be used to find suitable sites for offshore wind, and tidal and wave energy infrastructure.
There is little doubt that the past few years have witnessed the rise of energy-related collaborations to an extent never seen before. This is because cross-industry collaborations seem to be crucial for companies to ride the energy transition train which is indeed moving very fast.
National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) researcher Scott Jenne has designed an inflatable wave pump device that could lead the way to affordable wave energy of the future.
