Fugro Wraps Up Survey at Dogger Bank South Offshore Wind Farm
Fugro has completed the geotechnical site investigations at the eastern array of Dogger Bank South Wind Farm, off UK.Fugro’s five-vessel campaign gathered core samples and cone penetration tests (CPT) data up to 50 meters below the seabed.According to RWE, which is developing the project together with partner Masdar, the results of the campaign will provide vital insights for designing turbine and platform foundations.Dogger Bank South (DBS) consists of two offshore wind farms - DBS East and DBS West - with an estimated combined capacity of 3 GW.RWE leads both DBS projects, overseeing development
Fugro Concludes Surveys for Adriatic Sea Offshore Wind Farm
Fugro has completed geophysical and archaeological surveys for Energia Wind 2020 to support the development of the Rimini offshore wind farm.As one of Italy’s first fixed-bottom offshore wind initiatives, the 330 MW project represents a major step forward in the country’s energy transition.Fugro said its geo-data will be key to selecting optimal cable routes and informing engineering designs for the wind farm’s infrastructure, helping reduce project risks and enabling safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible development.Delivered in October 2025, the survey covered both the
DeepOcean Gets Subsea Tie-Back Job in UK
Ocean services provider DeepOcean has been awarded a contract to provide subsea construction and tie-in work at a subsea field development on the U.K. continental shelf.The field is being developed as a subsea tieback to an existing host facility.DeepOcean’s scope of work includes the installation of a flexible production riser and flowline, and an umbilical connecting the host facility to the subsea Xmas tree.The scope also covers the protection of the flowline and umbilical, as well as the commissioning of the newly installed infrastructure.Offshore operations will be executed in two phases
Dieseko, CorPower Joint Project to Streamline Offshore Anchor Installations
Dieseko Group and CorPower Ocean have formed a strategic consortium to launch VibroDrive+, a research project aimed at improving offshore anchor design and installation efficiency for marine energy and floating wind applications.Supported by $460,000 in Eureka Eurostars funding, the project will combine Dieseko’s vibro hammer technology with CorPower’s next-generation anchor concepts.The work supports future deployment of CorPower’s wave energy arrays located within and around offshore wind farms, where anchors provide the foundation for large-scale electricity generation from waves.
Sonardyne Takes Charge of Passive Seismic Monitoring for UK’s First CCS Site
Sonardyne will provide passive seismic monitoring services for the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) at the Endurance carbon storage site in the U.K. North Sea, expanding its role at the country’s first carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.The added scope builds on Sonardyne’s existing contract to deliver environmental monitoring at Endurance. The company will adapt, deploy and operate advanced ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) manufactured by Germany’s KUM. The units will be installed on the seabed above the Endurance reservoir, about 75 km off the Yorkshire coast.NEP will
Jasmund Substation Nears Baltic Sea Installation After Topside and Jacket Load-Out
The Jasmund offshore substation project for German grid operator 50Hertz, being delivered by HIS consortium, has reached a key milestone with the load-out of both its topside and jacket, marking a major step toward offshore installation in the Baltic Sea.The topside, built at HSM Offshore Energy’s Stormpolder yard in the Netherlands, measures 48 meters by 33 meters, stands 17.5 meters high and weighs about 4,500 tonnes. The matching 4,500-tonne jacket, rising 72 meters, was manufactured at the Smulders yard in Vlissingen.Both structures were transferred onto barges following detailed planning to
NKT Completes Export Cable Repair at Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm
Danish power cable maker and services provider NKT has concluded a turnkey repair of one of the 220 kV high-voltage AC subsea export cables connecting the Beatrice offshore wind farm in the Scottish Moray Firth to the Aberdeenshire coast.The repair was executed in 38 days, according to NKT, which was hired for the repair job following an unplanned transmission outage that occurred in April 2025 on one of two of Beatrice’s Transmission Capital Partner (TCP) owned export cables.The malfunction reduced the site’s export capacity by 50%, affecting the transmission of renewable electricity for
TGS Secures Monitoring and Survey Extensions Offshore Norway
Data energy and intelligence firm TGS has extended the existing contracts with major international energy company for reservoir monitoring and source services offshore Norway.The extensions are for the provision of reservoir monitoring and source services related to Permanent Reservoir Monitoring (PRM) and 4D Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) surveys on the Norwegian continental shelf.Both extensions have a nominal five-year duration, until 2030, with options to extend for a further five-year period.“We are very pleased that our client extends the current contracts for another five-year period, which
Study: Allseas SMR Tech Seen as Key Maritime, Industry Decarbonization Tool
Allseas’ small modular reactor (SMR) technology could generate up to $150 million billion in economic value for the Netherlands and create as many as 40,000 new jobs by 2050, according to an impact study released on Monday by the offshore engineering group.The study, conducted by consultancy Roland Berger, found that deploying the company’s 25 MWe / 70 MWt high-temperature gas-cooled SMR could also help cut grid congestion, strengthen energy security and deliver major emissions reductions across Dutch industry and the global maritime sector.Allseas launched a five-year plan in June 2025 to
