Equinor and Polenergia Hire RockWave for Offshore Wind Subsurface Data Reprocessing
wind farm involves the reprocessing of sparker ultra-high resolution seismic (UHRS) data to create an optimized subsurface image.The new data will play a crucial role in upgrading the engineering ground model and wind turbine foundation designs for the Baltyk 1 development.By leveraging state-of-the-art technology and expertise, RockWave aims to help its clients minimize the risk of unforeseen ground conditions by enhancing the accuracy and reliability of data in the offshore wind development project.The Baltyk 1 wind farm is located approximately 80 km north of the Polish coast in the Baltic Sea.&ldquo
DISCOVERY: High-Res Mapping Tech Helps Find New Hydrothermal Vent Field
and the data collected from the expedition will aid scientists in understanding the role inactive vents play for the planet and the animal communities that live on them. Ecuador has called for a precautionary pause on deep-sea mining. “These finely detailed maps created with state-of-the-art technology are exceptional for the area they cover and the seafloor complexity they reveal,” said Schmidt Ocean Institute’s executive director, Dr. Jyotika Virmani. “In addition to increasing the scientific knowledge of the region, it is wonderful to know they will be used in Ecuador'

variability in krill biomass and the influences from climate variability, fishing pressure and predation.“We ensure that the vessels are capable of performing the science operations required for all research missions, alongside certifying the required equipment and operating state of the art technology safely, efficiently and optimally," said Jon Short, Senior Project Manager at the National Oceanography Center. "NOC’s involvement in circumnavigating the A76a iceberg highlights the key role the National Oceanography Center's technicians, alongside the captain and crew on
Kongsberg Maritime to Deliver Tech & Equipment for Cadeler's Second WTFIV
for crane operations and DP manoeuvring," the Norwegian company said.Halvor Økland, Tender Engineering Director, Integrated Solutions from Kongsberg Maritime AS:"We are pleased and honoured that Cadeler continues to see us as one of their strategic partners in delivering state-of-the-art technology required by the offshore wind industry."Cadeler currently operates two O-class jack-up offshore installation vessels Wind Osprey and Wind Orca and it is building four more; two X- and two F-class vessels. The first F-class vessel is already booked until 2030.“The decision to build
Seatronics Sells Two Reusable Mine Disposal Systems to Elbit
and commissioning phase in the first sale of two Mine Identification and Detonation Solutions (MIDS) to Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems Ltd.The MIDS is the first truly multi-shot, configurable mine disposal solution that can detonate multiple charges acoustically, using state-of-the-art technology, without having to sacrifice itself, Seatronics said.According to Seatronics, Elbit’s Seagull unmanned surface vehicle (USV) has been specifically designed to host a variety of MIDS-related solutions, one of which is the Seatronics MIDS."The Seagull USV is an ideal host platform for

impacts at these industrial sites. This may eventually replace the current approach for environmental monitoring for decommissioning that requires dedicated ships and teams of people offshore."The NOC’s AT-SEA project will be taking place over a 10-day period using state-of-the-art technology, with the aim to provide future-proof solutions for the oil industry focusing on the need to reach better net-zero targets. The robots will gather data on the water, pollutants and currents, as well as taking images of the sea floor," the NOC said.The team will test whether these robotic

to better understand the health of parts of the ocean that are not easily accessible with crewed research ships.“This project is an excellent example of how federal agencies and partners from industry, academia, and research institutions can coordinate resources and leverage state-of-the-art technology to explore a remote area together,” said Jeremy Weirich, director of NOAA Ocean Exploration. “We have an opportunity to target this scientifically and strategically important part of the U.S. once, under one expedition, to acquire data that meet the needs of multiple agencies. I can&rsquo
Silver Ships Delivers Survey Vessel to US Army Corps of Engineers
;T’ Systems engine room ventilation, Arid Bilge Series 4 system and Ayres paneling.With speeds that reach 28 knots, the surveying vessel allows researchers to acquire data quickly and prevent inconsistencies caused by changes in the river bottom. Additionally, Tobin is equipped with state-of-the-art technology including the EchoTrac, E-20 survey system which is the key component that allows the vessel to take survey measurements. The E-20 uses a single-beam transducer that charts river depths and monitors water changes that could be potentially hazardous to marine navigation.This vessel's name
TSC Subsea Deploys 'Industry's First' Acoustic Deepwater Hydrate Detection Solution
first in acoustic deepwater hydrate detection solution, first deployed at a project offshore Angola.According to the company, the solutions. called the ART vPush, provides efficient, cost-effective, hydrate detection at a level that has not been previously available.The tool uses TSC Subsea’s ART technology on a moving platform to rapidly assess pipeline contents over complete pipe runs. Data is collected in real-time and processed with several algorithms to monitor signals from the far side of the pipe which detect if hydrate is present.Typically deployed via an ROV manipulator, it can also be
