Kongsberg Maritime Unveils Range of T&I Solutions for Floating Wind
winch system capable of tensioning and proof-loading up to three mooring lines simultaneously with significant reduction in bollard pull requirements. This vessel can pull up to 900 tonnes in a single fall configuration, ensuring efficient and safe anchor handling, with reduced energy consumption.The subsea construction vessel design concept, (UT 7600 FWIV Subsea), is equipped with advanced systems for handling, storing, and deploying mooring elements, making it ideal for high-volume floating wind installations, according to Kongsberg Maritime.Tow Assist System to Enhance Towing OperationsTo
Flocean Aim to Transform Desalination with Subsea Technology
risks.Flocean’s technology addresses traditional desalination challenges by implementing deep water reverse osmosis (RO) systems 400-600 meters under the ocean. Taking advantage of the already pressurized and predictably clean deep sea water, the company claims that its approach reduces energy consumption by up to 50% and eliminates toxic brine discharge. This reduces land use by up to 95% compared to current methods and enhances ocean health."Flocean's subsea approach represents a leap forward in sustainable desalination, aligning perfectly with our commitment to climate-positive solutions

self-sufficient in our supply of electricity, many find it difficult to realise the importance of our gas for Brits and Europeans.”The need for gasGas is one of the largest energy sources for generating electricity in Europe, and Norwegian gas covers around one-quarter of Europe’s energy consumption, according to Eurostat. Norwegian gas meets the annual household needs of 800 million people.In April 2023, Gassco and the NPD presented a study which concludes that increasing transport capacity for gas is profitable from a socio-economic perspective (Norwegian only). This would further
