Pivotree announces integrated subsea production system
The new Pivotree technology has the potential to revolutionize offshore energy development, making previously marginal and stranded oil and gas fields profitable and sustainable.
Kongsberg introduces its underwater mountable thruster
Suited to a range of vessels including drill ships, wind farm vessels and production vessels, the UUC PM 355 features a permanent magnet (PM) motor, delivering 81 tons of bollard pull.
AI system detects rogue waves minutes in advance
Considered a serious threat to mariners and offshore facilities, rogue waves could potentially be forecasted using an AI method known as neural networks.
Reusable aerogel sponges up and releases spilled oil
The material is reusable and can also effectively recover oil inadvertently released in cold northern marine environments.
Zero emission goals for port equipment and infrastructure, building on Singapore and Long Beach examples
Cleaner air and efficient operations at ports in California and Singapore are delivered with Quick Charging Connector systems from Staubli Electrical Connectors.
Sounding out healthy coral reefs
Coral larvae on degraded reefs were observed to respond to healthy reef sounds and repopulate these ecosystems.
Man overboard detection tech designed for maritime vessels and structures
Currently deployed at sea on an oil rig for the first time, the person in water (PIW) detection system, dubbed Zoe, is designed to assist search and rescue operations at sea.
Long duration energy storage at the seabed
An underwater large-scale, long-duration energy storage pilot project is planned off the coast of Cyprus.
Membrane unlocks osmotic energy harvesting potential
A new semipermeable membrane harvests osmotic energy from salt gradients and converts it to electricity.
Line of kamikaze attack-capable unmanned sea drones introduced by AEVEX
The light sea drone can carry out a variety of operations, such as carrying cargo, delivering personnel infiltration/exfiltration, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance and kamikaze missions.
Vanzetti Engineering joins Posidonia 2024, the international shipping fair
The company will present its state-of-the-art cryogenic pumps for LNG at the trade fair in Athens, Greece.
Storm-resistant OTEC system tested for tropical islands
Engineered to enhance tropical storm survivability, the structure is also configured to be disconnected under extreme weather conditions and moved to a safe harbor.
New coating promises to disinfect underwater surfaces
The UMass Amherst team created biofilm-resistant glass using UVC radiation — which is reportedly the shortest and most effective and disinfecting wavelength of UV radiation.
Onset launches its new multiparameter water quality Bluetooth data loggers
HOBO MX800 loggers integrate with interchangeable sensors that measure water conductivity, temperature, depth and dissolved oxygen.
Video: Wave energy system weathers the storms
The C4 wave energy device developed by CorPower Ocean survived four extreme storm events and demonstrated the ability to tune and detune according to varying sea states.
Look out below: The US east coast is steadily subsiding
The rate of subsidence in some areas exceeds that of global sea level rise, approaching 5 mm/year.
BIRNS launches its new 225 Amp BIRNS Meridian line
The custom engineered dry-mate connector series is open face rated to 6 km, and is appropriate for battery packs and thrusters for crewed and uncrewed subsea vehicles that require high amperage power transfer.
New AI tool identifies boulders ahead of offshore construction
Ocean Geophysics developed their new AI-driven boulder identification tool, which uses a machine learning algorithm to automatically detect boulders as small as 25 cm in size.
