Video: A wave energy converter for everyone
The modular design allows scaling up to meet greater power demands or for use in hybrid applications.
New rescue system designed for offshore structures
The Swift Rescue Conveyor System, as the name suggests, works like a conveyor system to pull those who have fallen from ships and offshore structures out of the water.
The cold truth about polar ice and sea level rise
Researchers consider the likely implications of accelerated Thwaites Glacier and Greenland ice sheet melting for sea level rise.
Satellite imagery shores up coral reef conservation
The power of deep learning has been harnessed to monitor the health of coral reefs from space.
Floating an eco-friendly design for offshore wind
A lightweight, economical design minimizes the impact on marine environments while using existing port infrastructure.
Project to connect offshore wind between the Netherlands and UK
A first-of-its-kind transmission link will connect renewable generation capacity between the Netherlands and the U.K.
Biofuel-based marine engine sets sail
The engine has been approved for operation on hydrotreated vegetable oil and other biofuels.
New underwater drone launched by QYSEA
QYSEA suggests that this iteration allows both explorers and filmmakers to capture greater detail and slow-motion videos in ultra-high definition at as much as 100 m deep.
New plan to expand US offshore wind energy production
Action is needed to harness the potential of offshore wind energy in the U.S. to power millions of homes and businesses, support thousands of jobs and ensure a clean energy future.
Amphibious robot designed to detect explosive underwater threats
The Terranaut from Nauticus Robotics is an amphibious robot prototype in development for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
DOE initiative to advance marine CO2 removal technology
Funding is available to support development of the marine carbon dioxide removal industry through scalable measurement, reporting and validation technologies.
Planning the world’s largest offshore green hydrogen facility
The project would be the first in which hydrogen production at sea is carried out on a large scale.
Farming for improved marine water quality
Kelp cultivation may offer a large-scale method for removing carbon and nitrogen from coastal waters to enhance marine environmental quality and combat climate change.
Bi-directional micro-grid power converter handles subsea and terrestrial power distribution
The system converts power directly at land or sea renewable energy installations and at the ocean floor to move power in both directions at different power levels.
Turbine installation underway at major US offshore wind project
South Fork Wind is now the first commercial-scale, offshore wind energy project to start turbine construction in federal waters in the U.S.
Norwegian university launches "first" maritime cyber attack course
As 90% of all world trade involves some component of maritime transport, the industry is likely vulnerable to cyberthreats that could potentially disrupt global commerce, data and safety.
Soft robot easily shifts from land to sea
Researchers constructed a bistable actuator composed of 3D-printed soft rubber featuring shape-memory alloy springs that respond to electrical currents through contracting, thereby causing the actuator to bend.
Smart buoy tech delivers data from the seafloor
Harvest’s recent monitoring solution developed for a client remotely records measurements, monitors the status of assets on the seafloor and delivers this data via the web.
Team removes biofouling from ship hulls using laser radiation
In lieu of mechanical cleaning, which can damage the hull coating and introduce organisms or residue from the coating into the water, laser radiation can lethally attack marine biofouling underwater without damaging the coating of the ship's hull.
Mapping a path to a US offshore wind energy supply chain
A domestic supply chain is required to achieve the national offshore wind target of 30 GW by 2030.
