Nokia has announced that Angola Cables is trialing Nokia’s Photonic Service Engine 3 (PSE-3) chipset for the first direct optical connection between the USA and Africa. The route provides direct, low-latency trans-Atlantic routing and simplifies the turn-up of services to better serve data consumpti
An international Ocean Renewable Energy Action Coalition has been formed to advance sustainable deployment of ocean-based renewable energy and mitigate the harmful impacts of climate change. Ocean-based renewable energy—such as offshore wind, floating solar, tidal and wave power—could meet nearly 10
Kraken Robotics has finalized the contract for the OceanVision project with the Ocean Supercluster and industry partners, Petroleum Research Newfoundland and Labrador, Ocean Choice International and Nunavut Fisheries Association. OceanVision is a three-year, $18.8 million, project focused on the dev
RC Dock Europe, part of RC Dock USA, delivered two fully automated launch and recovery systems (LARS) for Fugro’s new Autonomous Surface Vessels. Both systems are fully automated and of a “open” design making it suitable to receive ASV’s with different types of keel mounted payloads up to a weight o
The Blue-GIFT (Blue Growth and Innovation Fast Tracked) project has opened the 2nd call for applications. Funded by Interreg Atlantic Area, Blue-GIFT, aims to help Atlantic Area companies test the next generation of marine renewable energy (MRE) technology in real sea environments and prove power ca
Shell Geothermal and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have received an exploration permit from the Ministry of Economic Affairs to investigate possibilities for geothermal energy in the Port of Rotterdam’s western section. The subsurface has been mapped out thoroughly in recent years as part of the U
Temporary Works Design (TWD) has revealed the monopile sling connector, a remote-controlled solution for applying the rigging of monopiles. Once positioned on the monopile, the monopile sling connector will guide the sling around the monopile without the need for human interference, TWD said. During
