Global seabed sampling experts Ocean Scientific International Ltd (OSIL) have delivered a 12 station Multiple Corer to XMU University in China. The hydrostatically damped Multi Corer is capable of collecting up to 12 samples simultaneously, which include a high-quality sediment sample and the overly
Tidal Energy Today has compiled the top news from tidal and wave energy industry from October 30 until November 5, 2017.
The International Wave and Tidal Energy Research Sites (WaTERS) network has held its fourth meeting in Canary Islands to discuss common challenges and collaborative opportunities.
The APT Global group has launched a new and improved line of dredge ball joints. The in-house developed design has been named the Maximus ball joint and will become part of the APT Global product portfolio. The Maximus dredge ball joint is the result of extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and pr
The Tiankun, the largest and most advanced cutter suction dredger (CSD) in Asia, was launched today in Qidong, East China’s Jiangsu Province. The dredger, built for China Communications Construction Co. Ltd. (CCCC), was designed by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation, Shanghai Jiao Tong Univers
The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) is seeking electrical and performance test engineers who would assist the Orkney-based facility in wave and tidal energy testing activities.
The Space@Sea project has officially started with the aim of developing a standardized and cost-efficient multi-use modular island capable of producing and storing energy from offshore renewable sources.
The new government statistics on energy and climate change has shown that 79% of UK public supports the use of tidal and wave energy technologies.
The floating island concept, revealed earlier this year, will now be further studied and developed through a Horizon 2020-funded project Space@Sea that started on 1 November and will run for three years.

Subcon has been awarded by Citic Pacific Mining (CPM) a contract for the design and supply of their scour systems for berth pocket stabilization at the Sino Iron Terminal at Port of Cape Preston. “The larger vessel size and deeper berth pocket means increases in bow thruster and main propeller wash
Dredge pumps can be fitted out with a second outer pump casing. Up to now, this meant a large, heavy piece of steel. Pioneering research by Damen R&D engineers has resulted in a patented pump cover, which can be zipped onto the current dredge pump effortlessly. The new DynaCover is made of finely wo
Engineers from Trinity College Dublin have tested a next-gen hydrofoil-based anchoring device to check whether it might offer a reliable means of fixing an energy-generating tidal array to the sea floor.
The Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult has upgraded its lightning impulse (LI) test capabilities to help offshore wind operators reduce export cable failure rates.
