As one of the world’s most densely populated capitals, Manila struggles with insufficient transport infrastructure. This can slow down economic growth and hinder economic potential. A large-scale transport plan for Manila Bay will help solve the problem by interconnecting air- and seaport facilities
Gardline Geosciences has appointed Roi Santos as the new Geoconsultancy Manager. Santos has taken over responsibility for the offshore contractor’s geotechnical engineering team, following the departure of Geotechnical Director Andy Barwise. Gardline Geosciences Managing Director, Eric Zon, said: “T
Vattenfall and Pelamis Wave Power are to appoint a liquidator to close Aegir Wave Power Ltd, a company that was supposed to develop Shetland wave farm. Aegir Wave Power is a joint venture launched by Pelamis Wave Power and Vattenfall to develop a 10 MW wave farm off Shetland. Vattenfall said that th
KIC InnoEnergy, the European company for innovation, education and business creation in sustainable energy, has announced the launch of a new call for proposals to develop innovative products and services, as part of their ambitious support programme dedicated to boosting sustainable innovations in
Subsea World News has put together a recap of the most interesting articles from the previous week (February 02 – February 08). Shell’s announcement on awarding the Brent field decommissioning contract to the Allseas’ Pieter Schelte attracted comments and reactions from maritime workers union. Accor
Alstom has developed Oceade 18 – 1.4 MW, a new tidal turbine, with improved design based on the Alstom’s experience with 1 MW tidal stream turbine. The Oceade tidal stream turbine has the capacity of 1.4 MW with a rotor diameter of 18 m. It has three variable pitching blades, and is equipped with pl
Scientists sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) revealed the latest findings from a study on Arctic sea ice, with one expert noting that summer sea ice levels could potentially fall to zero before the end of this century. Speaking at the Naval Future Force Science and Technology EXPO, sci
Researchers from the University of Washington (UW) are building a new underwater robot named “Millennium Falcon”. The robot will deploy instruments to gather information in unprecedented detail about how marine life interacts with underwater equipment used to harvest wave and tidal energy. Researche

Researchers still don’t fully understan
Researchers at University of Washington are developing a new underwater robot designed to deploy monitoring instruments to gather information on marine life interactions with underwater equipment used for wave and tidal energy generation. The robot is named ‘Millennium Falcon’ and its aim is to iden
In early January 2015, a team of MBARI engineers, led by Andy Hamilton, set out to sea to recover an experimental buoy that creates electrical energy from ocean waves. This power buoy had been deployed six miles southwest of Moss Landing Harbor for 131 days, while the engineers tested the system’s a
MBARI engineers have recovered the experimental wave energy buoy for maintenance, after it had been deployed in the sea for over 4 months. During this deployment, the buoy supplied power for instruments used to collect data for engineering purposes. It was deployed 9 km southwest of Moss Landing Har
Due to demand, Marine Renewables Infrastructure Network (MARINET) has announced the opening of an additional sixth call offering free-of-charge use of European leading test facilities for marine renewable energy R&D. This is a unique opportunity for SME’s, companies, entrepreneurs, inventors, engine
