Video: Amphibious ship to service offshore wind farms
The craft is engineered to service wind farms in very shallow waters.
Harnessing wave energy to power marine sensors
A triboelectric nanogenerator was engineered to power marine-based sensors and communication systems.
Video: Another offshore wind turbine debuts as world’s largest
The 18 MW unit will feature a 260 m diameter rotor to power a modularized medium-speed geared drive train and permanent magnet generator.
New robot takes inspiration from jellyfish-like zooplankton
Capable of operating in unknown and extreme marine environments, the RobotSalps, like the semi-transparent, tubular-shaped salps that inspired them, can link to each other, forming so-called colonies.
New approach assesses the threat of air attacks on warships
Based on a new iteration of the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and gray relational analysis, the new approach considers five different attributes in the assessment of threats.
A virtual short course on offshore wind energy
The two online interactive four-hour sessions are designed for professional non-engineers and engineers alike.
Video: Solar-wind hybrid power system floats off China
The world’s first commercial offshore floating solar system paired with an offshore wind turbine has been launched in China.
Video: Carbon storage in depleted offshore oil and gas fields
Project Greensand is expected to start storing up to 1.4 million tons of carbon dioxide annually by 2025 in the depleted Nini oil and gas field in the Danish North Sea.
New York approves offshore wind farm transmission line
A 25-mile transmission line will carry power from the state's largest offshore wind farm to an onshore substation.
Video: Subsea battery storage for offshore renewable energy systems
Designed for the harsh subsea environment, the Halo system is engineered to provide a reliable, uninterrupted power supply predominantly for seabed use.
Ultra-deep drilling ship to debut in 2024
The ship, dubbed the Dayang, is expected to be capable of drilling deeper than 32,800 ft, reportedly reaching the seabed of the world’s deepest oceans.
Scrubbers as a major source of Baltic Sea pollution
Scrubbers used on ships to clean exhaust gases and reduce air pollutant emissions have been identified as a major contributor of contaminants to waters in the Baltic Sea.
UK Navy to build crewless submarine for defense applications
Plymouth-based company MSubs was awarded a £15.4 million contract for the development of a crewless submarine by the UK Royal Navy, with an expected 2024 delivery date.
Tapping freshwater from oceanic water vapor
Capturing and condensing oceanic water vapor offers a means of augmenting freshwater supplies onshore.
A new way to float wind turbines
Relative to horizontal axis systems, this vertical axis design is less expensive and faster to build, resulting in 50% cost reduction per MW and shorter delivery time.
