Clinton Marine Survey AB has increased the fleet with another survey vessel. M/V Wind was purpose built for the Swedish Maritime Administration, as hydrographic survey vessel, at Boghammar Marin AB shipyard in Sweden. The vessel will deliver a state-of-the-art resolution to the survey market and has
RWE Innogy, together with the Carbon Trust’s Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) programme, completed a two year trial at what is soon to become the world’s second largest offshore wind farm. They tested the Light Detection and Ranging units (LIDAR) technology mounted on floating buoys at the 576MW Gwyn
ORE Catapult has started the first phase of a joint industry project that aims to improve the reliability of tidal turbines powertrain. The project is to reduce risk at the design phase and optimize the design process. The plan is to improve reliability which will result in the increased energy outp
Carnegie has reached a financial close on the Clean Energy Finance Corporation’s (CEFC) five-year USD 15.6 mln loan facility for partial funding of the project. The funding will reduce the amount of equity required for the project. Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has provided USD 8.6 mln
Blue Motion Energy has developed a marine turbine that uses the combination of wave, tidal and wind energy, resulting in higher power outputs. The technology is more economically viable than energy production using only wind or tides or waves. A scaled turbine is tested at the hydraulic research lab
Ecosse Subsea Systems (ESS) has completed client-witnessed trials of its Ambient Lifting technology at a research and development facility in Aberdeenshire. Banchory-based ESS is a subsea technology company which designs and manufactures a number of pioneering technologies which are deployed in the
Dragflow, a world player in solid pumping solutions with over 25 years of experience in manufacturing heavy duty pumps and complete dredging equipment, is continuing the development of new products addressing the changing needs of dredging industry. Just a few days ago, we interviewed one of the com
Ecosse Subsea Systems (ESS) have progressed their subsea lifting programme by successfully completing client-witnessed trials of Ambient Lifting technology at their Aberdeenshire research and development facility. Ambient Lifting works by decoupling the subsea load from the surface vessel by utilisi
Wave energy developer, Carnegie Wave Energy Limited, has reported a commercial and technical progress with its CETO 6 Project also to be located off Garden Island. Carnegie has now reached financial close on the previously announced Clean Energy Finance Corporation’s (CEFC) five-year, $20 million lo
The Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult has launched the first phase of a three stage collaborative industry project aimed at improving the reliability of tidal turbine powertrains by reducing risk at the design phase and aiding design optimisation. Improved reliability will increase energy out
Dong Energy has chosen SmartWind Technologies for the supply of a dual-Doppler radar system for offshore wind measurement. The two radars are to be installed in 2016 on the coast near the Westermost Rough Offshore Wind Farm. They will produce high-resolution dynamic maps of the wind flow through an

The largest treasure of gold coins discovered in Israel was found in recent weeks on the seabed in the ancient harbor in Caesarea National Park. The group of divers from the diving club in the harbor found the lost treasure. According to them, at first they thought they had spotted a toy coin from a
A joint industry project (JIP) has been launched between Swagelining Limited, Saudi Aramco and The Welding Institute (TWI) to conduct investigations into the use of polymer lining in carbon steel pipelines. The JIP will examine the extent of corrosion incurred in a polymer lined pipeline when subjec
