It is important to understand the status of marine mammals in an area prior to any development and understand potential impacts during and after development. Offshore wind developments may adversely affect species, including those protected by European and domestic law. Mitigation of such impacts fo

Recent warming of the Greenland Sea Deep Water is about ten times higher than warming rates estimated for the global ocean. Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research recently published these findings in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. For
CGG announced that Jason, a CGG company specializing in seismic reservoir characterization software and services, has launched version 8.4 of its reservoir characterization software suite. The powerful new release optimizes field development, reservoir management and well planning by providing a str
A mystery in the ocean near Antarctica has been solved by a team including researchers at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, who have long puzzled over how deep- and mid-depth ocean waters are mixed. They found that sea water mixes dramatically as it rushes over undersea mountains in Dra
ION Geophysical Corporation announced the launch of NarwhalTM, the first fully integrated ice management system designed to reduce risk and improve efficiency in seismic data acquisition and drilling operations in or near ice, such as in the Arctic. The Arctic contains an estimated 25% of the world’
Tank testing of scale models to develop the next generation of Pelamis Wave Power’s wave energy converter (WEC) machines have now been successfully completed. The tank testing process forms a key part of a £1.4m project commissioned and funded by the Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) which is look
A new shipbuilding yard that is jointly developed by Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd (Keppel O&M), State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) and Azerbaijan Investment Company (AIC) was officially opened this morning by President of Azerbaijan, H.E. Ilham Aliyev. Singapore’s Senior Minister of St
The state government of Rio de Janeiro is turning to NCE Subsea for input and support in the formation of a local subsea cluster. The future cooperation will increase business and R&D opportunities between the clusters. On September 17, 2013, NCE Subsea signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the
RenewableUK, the trade body for the UK wind and marine renewables sector, today published an update of its 2010 study into employment in the wind, wave and tidal energy sectors. Working for a Green Britain and Northern Ireland reveals that together these important growth industries now directly empl
40South Energy undertook several tests last week to prepare for the deployment of its wave energy technology at Punta Righini, Italy. The company recently announced that it had performed trials at the harbor in Navicelli, Pisa. The first activities tested were practicing the connection procedures in
