Fred. Olsen’s wave energy device Bolt Lifesaver has been deployed off the coast of Hawaii, USA. The device was deployed at Navy’s Kaneohe Bay Wave Energy Test Site (WETS) last week, the Pacific Business News reports. Prior to the deployment, the device has been refurbished and prepared for the insta
China’s unmanned submersible Qianlong No.2 has completed sea trials and delivered its first exploration mission in the southwest Indian Ocean. The 3.5 meters long and 1.3 meters high autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) was designed and developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shenyang Institute
Subsea World News has put together a recap of the most interesting articles from the previous week (March 21 – March 27). OneSubsea is to invest £1.8 million in a new project for the development of its Standardised Modular Injection System (SMIS). The project, which will create five new jobs and saf
Check out the video showing the recently deployed EcoSPRAY marine structure designed to gather data in order to gain better understanding of floating tidal energy platforms and their moorings.
The Waveswing America team, one of the finalists in the Wave Energy Prize challenge, is preparing its 1:20 scale wave energy device model ahead of June testing at Carderock MASK basin.
The pilot Marine Spatial Plan has been prepared for the Pentland Firth and Orkney (PFOW) waters which will guide the development activity in the area, including the renewable energy generation.
German-based Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB) tested the DeDaVe, a new autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), at the PLOCAN test site.
The first training for Small Island States within the SimpleCoast initiative has just been successfully concluded. The training has taken place in São Tomé, as a joint effort between the GFDRR (The World Bank), Deltares and with great support from the local government. The training has involved part
The Marine Renewable Energy Collaborative (MRECo) has received funding from the Massachusetts Seaport Economic Council to develop a tidal energy test site in the Cape Cod Canal.
The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has paved the way for a 12MW offshore wind demonstration project in Virginia by approving the first Research Activities Plan (RAP) for a wind energy facility in U.S. federal waters. The project, for which the final engineering review is pending, invo
The researchers from the UMass Dartmouth have received $239,898 through the Commonwealth’s Seaport Economic Council Program to conduct research and development activities in wave energy. The team from the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Dartmouth is designing a flexible, tethered line to replace
French National Research Agency (ANR) and France Energies Marines have teamed up and made available EUR 3 million in a new round of funding for marine renewable energy projects. The supported projects must be collaborative, and approved by France Energies Marines, or represent a partnership between
During the recent EADA (India) conference, which promotes the exchange and development of dredging technology, Royal IHC presented its design for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD). Following the introduction of Emission Control Areas by the International Ma
