Blue Institute Reveals New BX6 Blue Excelerator Cohort
focused on ocean health, climate resilience, maritime systems, and water security. The Earth Day announcement coincides with the nonprofit’s 10th anniversary.The new cohort, known as the “Blue Dozen,” includes companies from the United States, Canada, Germany, and Denmark working on technologies such as AI marine mammal monitoring, offshore sargassum forecasting, ropeless fishing, oil spill response, offshore robotics, aquaculture systems, and zero-emission sail freight.The program is designed to help emerging blue economy ventures strengthen commercialization strategies, advance pilot
ABS Signs Pact with Fleet Robotics on Maritime Robotics
for vessel maintenance.“It is an honor to work alongside Fleet Robotics to advance autonomous robotic systems for the industry. This collaboration is about more than innovation, we are working to establish the standards and frameworks needed for the maritime industry to confidently adopt these technologies and move toward safer, more efficient and data-driven vessel maintenance,” said Patrick Ryan, ABS Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer.“By enabling in-water inspection and unlocking a new layer of high-quality data, we can transform how operators make decisions around
IQIP, EnBW, Vattenfall to Test Low-Noise Offshore Monopile Installation
through European industrial capability and genuine innovation. Progress comes when knowledgeable partners at the heart of the industry work together to turn new technology into reality,” added Cyril Moss, Executive Project Director for Nordlicht I and II at Vattenfall.“We support new technologies - such as EQ-Piling - that minimise environmental impact while increasing output and reducing costs. EnBW has engaged early with relevant stakeholders to secure all required permits for execution of the test,” noted Jörg Egbers, Vice President Offshore Engineering at EnBW
Teledyne Marine Launches New Global Video Contest
2026 Video Contest, inviting customers and partners around the world to bring their missions to life through video.Building on the success of its annual Teledyne Marine photo contest, the new video competition focuses on real missions, real data, and real innovation highlighting how Teledyne Marine technologies are used across ocean science, offshore operations, and subsea exploration.Entrants are encouraged to think outside the box and submit engaging videos that demonstrate the real-world uses of Teledyne Marine’s technology, such as:Products in action - from setup and testing to in-field operations
NATO DIANA Program Enables R&D Contract with HonuWorx
a Canadian capability need. Through this process, HonuWorx was selected to undertake a targeted engineering study as a follow‑on activity from NATO DIANA’s challenge program.The Rapid Adoption Service enables NATO Allies and NATO bodies to co‑develop, prototype and, ultimately, acquire technologies at speed and at scale. Under the Rapid Adoption Service framework, DIANA can award R&D and prototype contracts on behalf of Allies through an “opt‑in program,” reducing administrative barriers and accelerating adoption timelines. Successfully demonstrated prototypes can then transition
Maersk’s Stillstrom Unveils Standalone Offshore Charging Solutions for Vessels
used in installation, maintenance and long-term operations.Stillstrom said the systems expand its offshore charging portfolio, adding to solutions already integrated within wind farm assets.The launch builds on the company’s research and development work, including patented offshore charging technologies, as wind farms expand further offshore and demand for low-emission vessel operations grows."Our two new monopile systems help to address the sector’s long-standing ‘chicken and egg’ challenge, where vessel electrification and infrastructure deployment must progress in step
Saildrone Introduces High-Endurance Anti-Submarine and Strike USV
, visibility, and signature impact mission performance. From the outset, Spectre was designed to operate without the wing for kinetic strike roles, which require higher sprint speeds and low-profile stealth operations.Technology PartnershipsSpectre performance has been verified and tested at Force Technologies’ tow tank in Copenhagen, Denmark. Many months of testing and evolution on a 1/7th-scale model verified propulsive power requirements and seakeeping in conditions up to full speed in Sea State 5. Only through diligent physical tank tests can CFD results be verified and propulsion systems
