iXblue's USV Used for Saint Nazaire Offshore Wind Farm Bathymetric Survey
Farm will produce 20% of the French Department Loire-Atlantique’s electricity consumption needs and will contribute to achieving the target of 40% renewable energy by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050 in France.Being developed by EDF Renouvelables and EIH S.à r.l, an indirect subsidiary of Enbridge Inc., and CPP Investments, the offshore wind farm will have a capacity of 480 MW, with the ability to power 20% of the Department Loire Atlantique.The wind farm, located between 12 km and 20 km off the coast of the Guérande peninsula in western France, is scheduled to be operational by the

segment, and will be managed by the Acteon integrated solutions (AIS) team.The Calvados development is a 450-MW offshore wind farm under construction near Caen, France, and is being developed by Éolien Maritime France (a consortium including EDF Renewables, EIH S.à.r.l, a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc., CPP Investments) and wpd. The wind farm will generate enough power to meet the domestic electricity needs of about 630,000 consumers and will have an operational life of about 25 years.The project scope for Acteon includes creating 64 open-hole sockets for casing installation; providing a

campaign for RTE’s grid connection of Saint Nazaire offshore wind project off the west coast of France, last summer. The project is expected to start in May 2021 and will be completed within two months.The 500 MW, $2.2 billion, offshore wind farm named Fécamp, sanctioned by EDF Renewables, Enbridge, and wpd in June 2020, will feature 71 Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) wind turbines.Project commissioning is scheduled for 2023. The power generated by the wind farm will provide enough annual electricity to meet the power needs for 770,000 people or over 60% of the Seine-Maritime department'
The Troubled History of Protecting Marine Assets
to human error.Is there hope on the horizon?In its review of the Pertamina incident, Indonesia’s Environment and Forestry Ministry made its view on how the incident could have been prevented very clear, stating Pertamina “lacked an early-warning system and had no automated monitoring.”Enbridge identified it could reduce the risk of an anchor strike on its Line 5 pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac by 88.4% through automated proactive messages to vessels that present a risk. Combining this with enhanced physical protection reduces the risk of damage by 99.9%.With the universal adoption

activities already kicked off in order to start the production of the foundations in the spring of 2020.The first foundations will be installed on a rocky seabed in the spring of 2021 and the project is set for completion in the summer of 2022.The 480 MW wind farm, belonging to EDF Renouvelables and Enbridge, will be built between 12 and 20 km off the Guérande peninsula in western France. The depth of the foundations ranges between 12 and 25 meters.The power generated by Saint-Nazaire offshore wind farm will cover the equivalent of 20% of the Loire-Atlantique department's electricity demand
Keel Laid for Second Bibby Wavemaster
early 2018 after lining up a charter for the vessel in December 2017. The new vessel, scheduled to be delivered in 2019, will go to work under contract for Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and EnBW for maintenance operations on two windfarms in German waters: Hohe See and Albatros, both owned by EnBW and Enbridge.The steel plates for the second SOV had been cut at the same time as those for Bibby Wavemaster 1, and some fabrication had already taken place, allowing shipyard work to begin at an accelerated pace, according to the shipbuilder. A keel-laying ceremony for the new vessel was held last week.The
