Stillstrom Picks Semco for Offshore Charging Equipment
Stillstrom by Maersk has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Semco Maritime to manufacture and deliver a key part of its offshore vessel charging system, moving the technology into manufacturing following completion of its design phase.Semco Maritime will manufacture the local equipment room, or local equipment room (LER), which controls power, communications and safety functions across Stillstrom's offshore charging infrastructure.The containerized unit houses the transformer and medium-voltage switchgear used to transfer offshore-generated electricity from a wind farm to a vessel, alongside
SLPE Takes Foundation Design Role at EnBW's German Offshore Wind Farm
SLPE, part of Smulders, has secured a contract by EnBW to provide wind turbine foundation engineering for the planned 1 GW Dreekant offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.The scope covers concept engineering, front-end engineering design and detailed design of the wind turbine foundations. SLPE is also expected to support the project through fabrication, installation and commissioning after completing the detailed design phase.Dreekant offshore wind is being developed by EnBW in Germany's Exclusive Economic Zone, across an area of about 80 square kilometers where water depths range from 37 to
Saipem Taps Subsea Cable Assets for $20M Cable Campaign
will provide five cable transport carousels, each with a capacity of 1,100 tonnes, along with associated cable-handling equipment.The equipment will be mobilized on a cable transport vessel for cable load-out at JDR Cable Systems in the UK. The loaded carousels will then be transported to Southeastern Europe before being moved using self-propelled modular transporters onto smaller transport barges for onward mobilization to the Caspian region.Manufacturing of the carousels and associated equipment is underway at SCA's Dubai facility, with shipment to Europe planned by the end of 2026.“This
Strohm’s TCP Completes Qualification for Brazil’s Deepwater Pilot
WAG, used for enhanced oil recovery, under its DNV-ST-F119 standard.The qualification program involved more than 50,000 testing hours covering materials, sealing and full-scale testing. More than 40 individual full-scale tests were conducted across seven laboratories and certified testing facilities in Europe and Brazil.“The project has great strategic relevance for the subsea sector in Brazil and beyond, as it decisively solves one of the major pipeline integrity challenges identified in recent years: the risk of stress-corrosion cracking in environments with a high CO₂ concentration. By using
Njord Survey Gets Multi-Year RWE’s Offshore Wind Services Deal
Njord Survey has secured a three-year framework agreement by RWE Offshore Wind to provide remotely operated vehicle services across offshore wind farms in U.K. and European waters.The agreement covers offshore survey campaigns using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), with Njord Survey set to carry out the work through carbon-neutral operations.Njord Survey said it has surveyed more than 23 full offshore wind farm areas in recent years, providing geophysical and visual seabed investigations.“We are incredibly proud to secure this long-term agreement with RWE, one of the world’s leading
Verlume, SubCtech Team Up on Subsea Power Systems
Verlume and SubCtech have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop and deliver integrated subsea power systems and pursue opportunities across the offshore energy and defense sectors.The agreement combines Verlume's subsea power platform and systems integration capabilities with SubCtech's battery technology and manufacturing capabilities. The companies are already working together on an active project.A particular focus will be offshore oil and gas applications, including power systems intended to support ageing subsea infrastructure, field-life extensions and more autonomous
EU Set to Restart Scrutiny of Subsea 7-Saipem Combination
The European Commission will likely comment within the next 24 hours on a reopening of its antitrust probe of the merger between Norway's Subsea 7 and Italy's Saipem, Subsea 7 CEO Stuart Fitzgerald said on Wednesday.The probe had been halted by the EU while the parties provided additional information.The deal announced in February last year would create a leading global player in offshore energy services, from drilling and engineering to laying subsea infrastructure for offshore oil and gas projects. Both companies operate a fleet of vessels for these services."We've provided the data
Vallourec, Aramco Expand Tubulars Partnership
French tubular solutions provider Vallourec has signed an agreement with Saudi Aramco covering the supply of Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG), further expanding a relationship between the companies that dates back more than six decades.The agreement, signed during the French-Saudi Investment Roundtable Meeting in Paris, is intended to strengthen the companies' commercial, industrial and technological cooperation.Vallourec has worked with Aramco since 1962, when the companies entered into an agreement for the supply of the first generations of VAM connections for OCTG pipes.The French company
T12 Engineering Gets OWGP Funding for Floating Wind Mooring Tech
T12 Engineering has secured funding from the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP) to advance its Floating Mooring System (FMS), a technology designed to reduce the cost and complexity of maintaining floating offshore wind turbines.The latest project follows a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study supported by Scottish Enterprise in 2025, which confirmed the technical viability of the system.T12 estimates the technology could save floating wind operators up to $3.6 million (£2.7 million) per turbine over its operational lifetime by providing an alternative to mobilizing large specialist
