Biofouling Foiled: UV Light Harnessed for Biofouling Control
;s performance: Due to the biofouling problems encountered in Australian waters, Perth based company Fastwave has been testing the AML UVX modules in local waters. Initial results look very promising, and when this first stage of evaluation is completed, testing will be moved to the tropical North West coast of Australia, where the most aggressive biofouling problems occur, particularly in the summer months as sea temperatures rise. Fastwave has deployed a substantial number of marine environmental monitoring systems in this region, and reducing the impact of biofouling on sensors will deliver significan
UTEC Survey Completes Apache Infield AUV Inspection
UTEC Survey Australia Pty Ltd announced the successful completion of a major infield inspection of approximately 550 km of pipelines and 20 infield structures off the North West coast of Australia using two of its Gavia autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). The work was completed on behalf of Apache Energy Limited.

an example of the truly global nature of this project.” Shell was the first company to commit to an FLNG project, and it expects Prelude FLNG to be the first of many such Shell facilities. Once complete, Prelude FLNG will operate in a remote basin around 200 kilometres off Australia’s north-west coast, for around 25 years. It will produce about 3.6 million tonnes of LNG a year to help meet rising global demand for cleaner energy. After the first 25-year assignment, Prelude FLNG could be refurbished and moved to a different field for another quarter century. Shell explains that
