Singaporean-based tonnage provider Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) has hired GoodFuels to supply biofuel bunkers for one of its MR tankers. The company bunkered its 2010-built 47,377 deadweight tonne MR tanker M/T Pacific Beryl. with the residual-fuel equivalent Bio-Fuel Oil on October 9 in Dutch wat
Tidal energy developer Nova Innovation has expanded its tidal energy array off Scotland’s most northerly isles with the installation of a new direct-drive tidal turbine.
Stockholm-based Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), one of the partners in the Oceanbird development project, has tested the seven-meter long Oceanbird model with one wing on deck, in open water. The wing sails are an essential part of the ship design, a wind-powered Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCT
The researchers at the Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy (MaREI) have put a tidal turbine blade under ‘the largest load ever’, equivaling the curb weight of ten double-decker buses.
The Testing Expertise and Access to Marine Energy Research (TEAMER) program, supported by United States Department of Energy, has set an opening date for the second round of technical support calls.
Norwegian energy giant Equinor is teaming up with a tech giant Microsoft on Northern Lights carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain in Norway.
Introduction of a carbon levy in the shipping industry must be done in a uniform, transparent and fair manner, Jeremy Nixon, CEO of Ocean Network Express (ONE) believes, reaffirming the industry’s pushback against a regional approach. A carbon levy on bunker fuels is being proposed as a way of colle
Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions (GDG) will carry out a review of data and information requirements of offshore renewable energy within the INFOMAR seabed mapping programme that has been underway in Ireland. The Irish geotechnical engineering consultancy has been commissioned by Geological Survey Irelan
