Swiss Firm Acquires Defunct Beam
Rosenxt UK, part of Switzerland-based Rosenxt Holding, has acquired selected assets and talent from subsea robotics and engineering firm Beam, which went into administration in May.The strategic move enhances Rosenxt’s subsea capabilities, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the critical infrastructure and energy sectors.Beam, formed in 2024 through the merger of Rovco and Vaarst, gained rapid recognition for its autonomous subsea systems and AI-powered technologies before ceasing operations in May 2025.Rosenxt’s acquisition does not constitute a continuation of all Beam’s former
French Wave Energy Firm Closes Multi-Million-Dollar Fundraiser
French company Seaturns has raised $2.9 million to industrialize its wave energy technology and accelerate large-scale deployment.The funding round, carried out primarily through the Keenest platform, also received strong support from long-standing shareholders Team For The Planet and Sébastien Duez, as well as the entry of Lawrence Sigaud, deputy CEO of Seaturns, into the company’s capital.Seaturns’ wave energy technology is designed as cylindrical floater that moves horizontally under the action of the wave swell. The back-and-forth movement is called surge. Using its anchoring
Subsea7 Gets Work Offshore Egypt
Subsea7 has secured a ‘sizeable’ contract offshore Egypt, worth up to $150 million.Subsea7 will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, commissioning and installation of flexible pipelines, umbilicals, and associated subsea components for a tie back to existing infrastructures. Project management and engineering work will begin immediately at Subsea7’s offices in France, Portugal, and Egypt, while the offshore activity is expected to start in 2026.The exact value of the contract was not disclosed, but Subsea7 deemed it sizeable, which means it ranges between $50 million and
MeyGen Tidal Energy Tech Sets New Operational Record
SKF, which joined forces with Proteus Marine Renewables to deliver cutting-edge technology for MeyGen, announced the technology achieved a major breakthrough, having operated for over six years without the need for unplanned or disruptive maintenance.The MeyGen project, which is the world’s largest tidal stream array operated by SAE Renewables, is located in Scotland’s Pentland Firth.In operation since 2018, the SKF’ systems have operated continuously for over 6 years at 1.5MW without the need for unplanned or disruptive maintenance, proving the long-term reliability needed to verify
Semco Maritime Gets Iberdrola’s Baltic Hub Substations Service Job
Iberdrola has awarded Semco Maritime two three-year offshore service contracts, with options for extension, on the above-water scheduled and unscheduled maintenance of electro-mechanical equipment at two offshore substations in the Baltic Hub.The Baltic Hub currently consists of two offshore wind farms, the 350 MW Wikinger and the 476 MW Baltic Eagle, near the island of Rügen in the German exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the Baltic Sea.As the balance of plant service works are planned and executed together as one project, optimizations can be realized through the combined project management as
TGS Lands Offshore Wind Site Characterization Work in Norway
.The technology is specifically designed to sample the seismic wavefield at a high spatial and temporal rate, providing high-resolution data of the shallow subsurface targets for wind farm development.“We are very pleased to secure another offshore wind site characterization contract in Northern Europe, extending our acquisition campaign in the region by nearly a month.“We are seeing strong client adoption for our high-quality geophysical approach to mapping shallower subsurface targets, which supports data-driven decision making for offshore wind farm development and offers a compelling
