4Subsea has been awarded a Shell-funded contract to support COPPE, the centre for engineering research and education at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). The project is funded by Shell Brazil and is a partnership with UFRJ-COPPE EMBRAPII. The primary goal is to extend the safe operati
National Subsea Research Initiative (NSRI) has identified potential enablers which will assist subsea supply chain companies to break into the wave and tidal energy sectors.
Potential enablers which will assist subsea supply chain companies to break into the growing wave and tidal energy sectors, and associated technological barriers to their progress, have been identified by NSRI (National Subsea Research Initiative). The findings, part of NSRI’s online Matchmaker data
ASV Global and TerraSond have completed the first ever seabed cable route survey supported by an unmanned surface vehicle (USV). The survey route included various water depths and strong currents, while facing difficult wind and sea conditions in the Bering Sea offshore Alaska, ASV explained. The pr
Ampelmann has enhanced its E1000 gangway transfer system to speed up conversion from personnel to cargo mode from at least ten minutes to less than one minute, providing greater operational efficiencies.
Denmark-based engineering company EIVA said it has expanded the payload of its ScanFish remotely operated towed vehicle (ROTV) by some 700 percent to integrate PanGeo Subsea’s Sub-Bottom Imager (SBI) unit. Namely, the EIVA R&D took up the challenge in May 2017, to expand the 50kg sensor payload of t
