MacArtney to Equip N-Sea’s Altera CLV Newbuild
, in collaboration with Subsea Cable Assets (SCA) and Enersea, has secured the contract to design and deliver a fully integrated cable lay spread, a tailored solution for N-Sea’s new cable laying vessel (CLV), Altera.The project will combine MacArtney’s advanced mission equipment and control systems, SCA’s fabrication and EPCI expertise, and Enersea’s deck layout and integration design.It is expected to result a turnkey system designed to enhance operational efficiency, ensure safety, and enable swift mobilization, customized to meet the demands of offshore wind cable installation
Inside the NOC Robotics Center
underwater gliders. We've got a large ROV. We also design, build, and operate the Autosub AUVs. And these are the bit that really excite me because this is all the stuff that we do in-house. We've designed them, we've built them, we've written all the software, we've designed the control systems. We've crashed them, thrashed them, and occasionally lost them. But we really understand every bit of the subs, and that allows us to adapt them for trying to gather different types of ocean science data that people haven't done before.Question: What are the drivers for these vehicles

Robosys Automation Unveils Autonomous Trial Boat
testing activities over-the-horizon by its UK, Canadian, and Indian offices.VOYAGER AI is unique in that in addition to fitting to newbuilds, it can also be retrofitted to any motorized vessel from 2-320 meters. VOYAGER AI is fully agnostic, integrating with third party steering, drive, and motor control systems.In addition, Robosys offers numerous options to complement VOYAGER AI, including COLREGS-compliant Collision Avoidance Decision Aid (CADA) applications to enhance the safety in the support of crewed and lean crewed watchkeepers.Other options include Voyager Platform Control providing Remote
Subsea Expo 2025 Theme Announced and Conference Programme Confirmed
programme are a series of sector spotlight sessions, which will see companies from across the underwater supply chain showcase innovations, highlight new technologies and discuss collaborative projects. Sessions will cover ROVs and robotics, maintaining late-life subsea assets, subsea power control systems and umbilicals, innovation, and business development.Neil Gordon, Global Underwater Hub chief executive, said: “Since its inception, Subsea Expo has convened industry to showcase innovation and discuss the key talking points and challenges it is facing and this year will be no exception
ASN to Supply Equipment for UK CCUS Project
contract to supply and install a standalone DC/FO submarine cable infrastructure at Teesside (UK).The DC/FO infrastructure will connect the onshore CO2 gathering network to subsea CO2 injection sites located approximately 145km from shore, enabling the delivery of power and communication to subsea control systems. The technology allows for future extensions, using the initially installed cable to connect additional manifolds as the volume of CO2 to be stored increases.ASN says the DC/FO system to be deployed for the NEP project is based on standard products, reducing project risks, costs and lead time
Subsea Digitalization: Remote Control
, such as subsea power and communications, continue to evolve, says Miguel Hernandez, Senior Vice President of Global Offshore at ABS, even though the subsea environment poses significant challenges. “Maintaining reliable communication links between subsea assets and onshore or offshore control systems is crucial, but connectivity issues such as bandwidth limitations and signal interference can pose challenges,” says Hernandez. “Transmitting data through water, especially at great depths, is challenging due to the attenuation of signals.”The introduction of 5G technology
Mocean Energy and Proserv Team Up for Low-Carbon Solutions for Subsea Ops
operators in the renewables sector, setting out detailed development plans to collaborate and implement solutions aimed at accelerating the decarbonization of offshore energy.Specifically, Proserv and Mocean Energy will explore opportunities connected with the provision of renewable power for subsea control systems.Ultimately the two companies will work to develop a feasible, low-carbon, cost effective alternative to the umbilical power cables traditionally used by the energy sector.Subject to further agreements, this customizable ocean power solution, powered solely by wave, solar and battery technologies
