European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) has purchased a 1.8 MWh vanadium flow battery (VFB) system from Invinity Energy Systems. EMEC will deploy the flow battery at its tidal energy test site on the island of Eday. A world-first project will combine flow battery technology with tidal power to produce
Vestdavit and H. Henriksen recently carried out sea trials and provided proof of concept for SOLUSV – a new launch and recovery system for unmanned surface vehicles. The tests took place on board a Vestland Offshore vessel, whose existing boat and davit system were modified to accommodate SOLUSV equ
Seismic surveys have for decades been a key part of offshore exploration, producing comprehensive imagery of sub-bottom rock formations that allow the location and evaluation of oil and gas deposits. They also find their use in assessments of the seabed for offshore construction, installations of re
