Video: Submarine-launched drone developed for surveillance, reconnaissance
The submarine-launched drone relies on encrypted communications and cross-domain connectivity to quickly relay reconnaissance information to mission control.
Train to monitor protected species at offshore wind energy sites
An expanded partnership between a Danish power developer and a New Jersey university provides new opportunities for education and employment in the wind sector.
Algorithms developed for tracking ships in harbors
The Eindhoven team took visual footage of ships in ports throughout Turkey, Amsterdam and Rotterdam and applied their vessel recognition algorithms to the images, finding that ship identification reportedly improved when it was clear where water was located within an image.
Analytical method pegs marine microplastics
The hybrid method can help render microplastics research more standardized and accessible.
Quadcopter drone features suction cup for adhering to marine life
To mimic the remora fish, which also features a suction cup-like disc to attach to sharks, whales and other fish to conserve energy, the researchers designed the quadcopter using a series of layers, pumps and channels.
Video: New records set for climate change indicators in 2021
Discover which four key climate change indicators set new records in 2021.
Video: Underwater robots deployed to harvest eDNA
Ocean scientists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have deployed long-range autonomous underwater vehicles equipped with environmental sample processors designed to autonomously harvest evidence of the marine life entering various ocean regions under examination.
Video: Revamp for marine energy development toolkit
The updated open-source knowledge hub provides developers with the code needed to analyze how well their technology might perform in various ocean and river sites.
Underwater robot navigates busy New York harbor
An underwater mapping robot developed by New Jersey’s Stevens Institute of Technology has completed a real-world trial in a busy New York harbor.
Sourcing critical materials from marine crusts
Growing demand for new sources of germanium and gallium spurred researchers in Germany to explore deep sea mining as a supply solution.
Watch how offshore wind farms can shelter coral reefs
Surplus indigenous coral spawn, collected as it washes ashore, will be used to colonize offshore wind turbines structures.
Tanker designed to transport hydrogen from Scotland to Germany
The ship is expected to be ready and commissioned six months before the first delivery of hydrogen in 2027.
Video: Concept vessel to cruise with and deliver nuclear power
Potential deployment of zero-emission, battery-operated cruise ships takes a step closer to reality with a nuclear reactor-propelled vessel designed as a mobile charging station.
Floating nuclear power plants are under development
The floating nuclear facilities will be combined with hydrogen and ammonia production plants.
Video: Ocean Cleanup devises new tools to trap plastic debris
The Netherlands-based company will test these systems in Jamaica as part of its quest to tackle plastic in the 1,000 most polluting rivers within five years from rollout.
FPT Industrial presents new keel cooled C16 600 marine engine for commercial vessels
The cooling system can efficiently dissipate an engine’s heat and cool it down without the need to circulate saltwater in the engine.
US supply chain road map for offshore wind energy
Challenges and solutions to developing a nationally focused offshore wind energy supply chain required to meet a 30 GW target by 2030 are explored.
Video: Non-magnetic armoring wire for submarine power cables
The heavily galvanized, austenitic stainless-steel wire is designed to protect three-phase submarine power cables serving offshore wind energy projects.
Video: Battery-equipped ships to transfer energy from offshore wind farms
Marine battery storage vessels will be charged at sea from offshore wind farms for transport back to land.
Video: Buoy solution to charge idle vessels
The world’s first full-scale offshore charging station for vessels at an offshore wind farm will be tested later in 2022.
