Video: DOE reveals Waves to Water prize winners
The competition promotes the use of wave energy-powered desalination to provide potable drinking water for remote coastal and island communities.
Watch: Dual-fuel LNG engine approved for service in ultra-large container ships
Type approval has been awarded to the engine, which is slated to power nine new ultra-large container ships.
Platform designed to produce hydrogen from tidal power
The advantages of tidal energy and hydrogen production merge in a floating platform designed to produce renewable hydrogen from seawater.
Study: A 30 year survey of marine debris in Antarctica
Over 10,000 pieces of marine debris were recovered during this period at Bird Island (South Georgia) and Signy Island (South Orkneys).
TenneT develops innovative submarine cable with suppliers
A new standard for a submarine cable system is under development to connect 2 GW capacity wind farms to the grid in the Netherlands and Germany.
Watch: Brightening clouds to conserve the Great Coral Reef
Researchers in Australia have turned to cloud seeding in an effort to protect the Great Barrier Reef from coral bleaching damage associated with climate change.
COVID-19 providing rare opportunity to study sealife
COVID-19 has provided a rare moment of silence for the world's oceans and a unique research opportunity.
Ferry marks five years of methanol-fueled operation
The 240 m long Stena Germanica ferry was converted to run on methanol fuel in early 2015.
The Essentials of Marine Motors
Marine motors must withstand a constantly wet and high-humidity environment. Not only can water ingress ruin electrical components, it can also ruin materials via corrosion
Citizen scientists: Dive in and help NASA classify corals
Both fluid lensing and gaming opportunities can be leveraged to map the ocean floor with a level of detail previously possible only when teams of divers were sent under water to take photographs.
Cleaner tugboat service with hydropower and hydrogen
A tug powered by two 200 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cells will soon be tested as it escorts barges around the docks in Lyon, France.
Evoy launches world’s most powerful electric outboard system
The 150 hp prototype Evoy Pro is touted as the most powerful electric outboard on the market.
Designing solar cells for submerged service
Underwater solar cells have the potential to harvest power at depths up to 50 m in very clear waters with efficiencies of 55% to 65%.
Newly buried electric transmission line enables harbor project to advance
Embedding the line deeper in the ocean floor will allow the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to perform a $300 million dredging operation known as the Boston Harbor Deep Draft Navigation Improvement Project.
A laser cleaning process for ship hulls
The process under development could provide an efficient alternative to standard mechanical cleaning processes to address biofouling.
Team creates single motor aquatic robot
A team from the University of Pennsylvania’s General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Lab has developed a single motor aquatic robot.
New record for global offshore wind capacity
The world added nearly 5.2 GW of installed offshore wind capacity in 2019, setting a new record and marking a 24% increase from the year-before period.
New model expands scope of the Deepwater oil spill
The research team combined oil-transport modeling techniques with remote sensing data and in-water sampling to provide a look at the oil spill.
