The Waveswing America team, one of the finalists in the Wave Energy Prize challenge, is preparing its 1:20 scale wave energy device model ahead of June testing at Carderock MASK basin.
The pilot Marine Spatial Plan has been prepared for the Pentland Firth and Orkney (PFOW) waters which will guide the development activity in the area, including the renewable energy generation.
German-based Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB) tested the DeDaVe, a new autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), at the PLOCAN test site.
The Marine Renewable Energy Collaborative (MRECo) has received funding from the Massachusetts Seaport Economic Council to develop a tidal energy test site in the Cape Cod Canal.
The researchers from the UMass Dartmouth have received $239,898 through the Commonwealth’s Seaport Economic Council Program to conduct research and development activities in wave energy. The team from the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Dartmouth is designing a flexible, tethered line to replace
French National Research Agency (ANR) and France Energies Marines have teamed up and made available EUR 3 million in a new round of funding for marine renewable energy projects. The supported projects must be collaborative, and approved by France Energies Marines, or represent a partnership between
During the recent EADA (India) conference, which promotes the exchange and development of dredging technology, Royal IHC presented its design for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD). Following the introduction of Emission Control Areas by the International Ma
Take a look at the video showing Eco Wave Power’s wave energy plant during stormy conditions – with storm protection mechanism designed to protect the floats from damage – in action.
Lloyd’s Register (LR) has released guidance notes for inspection with next-generation drone and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The company said the new guidance approach supports industry in the safe and effective deployment of these systems that can significantly improve productivity gains throug
Researchers from the University of Exeter have tested a new sea-going robot that can map the seabed using its own intelligence which could prove favorable for offshore industry.
A North American sand and gravel company was recently in the market for a new and efficient electric dredge to replace their existing diesel drag line. The customer decided to move forward with an Rohr-Idreco 300 (12″) electric jet suction dredge, which has a digging depth of 60 ft. (18 m) and produ
To address water-related issues, decision-makers and experts across the world need to access information, data and models quickly to support their strategic planning, preparedness and response activities. The new interactive data research laboratory (iD-Lab) at Deltares officially opened yesterday t
Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) has led the launch of the EcoSPRAY, a marine structure designed to gather data to verify the behaviour of floating tidal energy platforms and their moorings in high-energy turbulent tidal flows. The research program is designed to gain a better understanding of the imp
Developers should pay more attention to the needs of island communities when consulting on harnessing their potential as sources of renewable energy, a study suggests.
