The UK gas network operator SGN has launched a project that will be world-first to employ a direct supply of offshore wind power to produce green hydrogen energy for heating. The project will start with heating around 300 homes in Fife, Scotland, using clean gas produced by an electrolysis plant, po
Webtool has developed an autonomous subsea resettable valve for installation and use with a charged hydraulic fluid store. Activated by a steel wire rope line, the valve activation system is designed for applications where autonomous operation is needed in the event of an emergency. Constructed from
Carnegie has commenced its planned wave tank testing campaign at the Cantabria Coastal and Ocean Basin in Spain. The trials will generate physical wave data aimed to validate Carnegie’s machine learning based Wave Predictor. Carnegie previously announced the development of a machine learning based W
Bombora’s mWave wave energy converter ‘cell module’ structure has been delivered from the fabrication workshop of Altrad Services to the assembly workshop at Mainstay Marine Solutions. The full-scale ‘cell module’ is part of a Wales-built innovative marine energy solution. The cell module transporte
Electric subsea robotics specialist Saab Seaeye has developed its first seven-function all-electric work-class manipulator. According to Seaeye, it introduces an equally powerful, more precise and more intelligent manipulator than the hydraulic equivalent on WROVs. Its control system enables both ma
The construction phase of the Viking Link Interconnector project between the UK and Denmark has commenced. Siemens is mobilizing to start the construction of a 2.4-kilometre long access road for the Bicker Fen converter station site. Siemens Energy is in charge of the UK and Denmark converter statio
Eco Wave Power has won the Energy Globe Award for its combined wave and solar project in the Port of Jaffa, Israel. The Energy Globe Award was founded in 1999 by the Austrian energy pioneer Wolfgang Neumann and is one of today’s most prestigious environmental awards. Goal of the Award is to present
Germany’s Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) is one of the first ports worldwide to develop solutions for its Hamburg container terminals that use machine learning (ML) to predict the dwell time of a container at the terminal.
PGS has completed the second GeoStreamer X seismic survey in the Viking Graben. The GeoStreamer X Viking Graben 2020 extension project once again applied PGS’s latest technology innovations for advanced offset-and azimuth-rich data. The project builds on the 2019 GeoStreamer X pilot project in the s
Several industry majors led by the Port of Rotterdam are rolling out a new pilot blockchain project, in which containers are handled and released without a PIN code: a widely used verification method in this transport segment. The port authority said that the project would involve the use of a new a
Hellenic Cables is on track to deliver the 135 kilometres long submarine cable for the electrical interconnection Crete – Peloponnese. The management of ADMIE recently visited the company’s plant in Corinth to check on the project’s progress. The project, with a total budget of 365 million euros, sh
Halliburton and TechnipFMC have introduced Odassea, the first distributed acoustic sensing solution for subsea wells. The technology platform enables operators to execute intervention-less seismic imaging and reservoir diagnostics to reduce total cost of ownership while improving reservoir knowledge
Aberdeen-based ROVOP has secured new multi-million-pound investment from its shareholders Blue Water Energy and BGF. The investment secures ROVOP’s long-term future and ensures the company can continue to provide its services. In addition to the investment, ROVOP has appointed a new senior managemen
