SCS Secures Commercial Exclusivity of DRE Subsea Cable Mold Kits
subsea supplier, helping to simplify procurement and ensure the required resources are available when the system is deployed.The technology is particularly suited to organizations operating ROVs, subsea instrumentation, marine science equipment, environmental monitoring systems and other subsea technologies incorporating micro-circular cables. DRE says its systems are designed to enable low-volume cable products to be produced quickly and field repairs to be undertaken offshore, helping operators take greater control over their cable supply chain.Under the agreement, SCS will provide global commercial
Fugro Secures $168M EIB Financing for USV Tech Development
and remote operations are an important part of our long-term strategy - enhancing safety, reducing carbon emissions and improving operational efficiency,” said Fugro Chief Executive Officer Mark Heine.According to EIB, the financing would support the deployment of advanced digital maritime technologies used in offshore activities, including wind farm and subsea cable projects
Sagar Defence, Lloyd’s Register to Advance Pathways for Autonomous Systems Certification
Lloyd’s Register (LR) and Sagar Defence Engineering Limited (SDEL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to help create practical pathways for the safe certification, assurance and regulatory acceptance of autonomous and remotely operated maritime systems.As interest in autonomous technologies and remotely operated systems grows across commercial, government and defense sectors, developers and operators face increasing pressure to demonstrate that new systems can operate safely, reliably and in line with evolving regulatory requirements.LR and Sagar Defence will work together to bridge
Subnero Acoustic Modems Supported in OceanScan MST's LAUV
Subnero, a Singapore developer of underwater communication and networking technologies, announced that its smart acoustic modems are now natively supported in the Light Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (LAUV) from OceanScan MST. The integration was carried out independently by the Acoustic Research Laboratory (ARL) at the National University of Singapore. It required no modification to the modem, the vehicle, or the software on either side.The LAUV runs on the Dune software ecosystem, which had no existing integration with Subnero modems. ARL built a small open-source software bridge that runs directly
Comprehensive Study Measures How Salt Finger Mixing Feeds Marine Life
between tropical surface waters and the deeper polar waters that flow into the Atlantic. Early-career researchers, including the two co-chief scientists, Gradone and Dr. Corday Selden from Rutgers University, comprised most of the team. To study the phenomenon, they used an array of underwater technologies, including a nitrate sensor, a Niskin bottle rosette for water sampling, robotic gliders, and a vertical microstructure profiler. The vertical microstructure profiler, a device for measuring subtle changes in turbulence and other physical properties of the water, can reach depths of 5500 meters
