While floating wind developers usually look for low wave energy sites, Floating Power Plant’s device is meant to generate wind power in areas with medium to high wave energy, as the company’s hybrid technology aims to harness energy from both sources.
Glomar Offshore has completed its first project for Briggs Marine & Environmental Services using the ‘Glomar Wave’ multi-purpose DP2 subsea support vessel. The project, mobilizing from the Fairlie Quay, near Glasgow, involved inspection of submarine electricity cables. These cables provide a reliabl
A new study has found that the presence of SeaGen tidal turbine in Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland did not prevent harbor seals from passing through the channel, detecting some small effects in their movement associated with the device.
Heavy lift vessel Oleg Strashnov has completed the installation of the sixth jacket foundation, out of 86 total, for the Beatrice offshore wind farm. The Strashnov will complete the installation of the first phase of jackets over the coming months, Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Ltd (BOWL) said in a pre
i3 Energy has completed all site survey and pipeline route sampling operations at its 100% operated and owned Liberator field in the North Sea.
