BlueTec Texel Platform modules nearing completion at port of Amsterdam, February 23, 2015. The modules are being produced at Niron Staal Amsterdam B.V., a specialized steel construction and machining company located in the port of Amsterdam. This will be the first floating tidal platform that will f
CorPower Ocean has developed a wave energy converter (WEC) that produces electricity from waves using pumping principles of human heart. The devices are small and light with low inertia, which allows them to use a broad range of wave motions to convert them to power. CorPower’s WECs have power take-
Nautilus Minerals Inc. has announced that the commissioning and Factory Acceptance Testing of its third and final Seafloor Production Tool, the Auxiliary Cutter, has started at Soil Machine Dynamics’ facility at Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

Spain and France have completed the new interconnection link that doubles the electricity interconnection capacity between the two countries. The completion of this project is a part of a broader strategy to form the Energy Union between EU countries. The project was inaugurated by French and Spanis
The electricity produced by the array will be fed to the Dutch grid, powering 100 households. As announced earlier, Tocardo has installed the array of three T1 tidal turbines at Afsluitdijk, Den Oever. The array has the capacity of 300 kW, and the electricity produced by the array will be bought and
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
Damen Dredging Equipment (DDE), the specialist in highly efficient dredging tools within the Damen Shipyards Group, has delivered and installed a new main engine for the stationary dredger “Rezoug Youcef”. The cutter suction dredger, built by De Groot Nijkerk in 1988, has worked in an Algerian reser
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
