Hi-Float: Hyundai Heavy Gets BV AiP for Floating Wind Turbine Foundation
Bureau Veritas (BV) has granted an Approval in Principle (AiP) to Hyundai Heavy Industries for its design and development of “Hi-Float”, a floating offshore wind turbine foundation. The offshore floating wind substructure “Hi-Float” is designed to support a 10MW wind turbine with semi-submersible and mooring technology. According to a press statement issued by BV, at Hi-Float, a passive ballast system ensures that risk is kept to a minimum during offshore operations. The good performance of Hi-Float in the offshore environment was verified through numerical
ROBOTICS: Meet Your New Offshore Robotic Co-workers; Charles, Eddie, ANYmal & Spot
.”Walking up stairs is no mean feat. To get here, the offshore industry is leveraging decades of work, not least by the likes of Boston Dynamics, an MIT spin-out now famous for its videos of robots either falling down or, today, performing synchronized dance routines. It’s now owned by Hyundai (indicating their definite move into the commercial realm). Balance for a quadruped means having to continuously send commands maybe 400 times a second, based on an array of sensors constantly telling the software to adapt, says Maurice Fallon, Associate Professor in Engineering Science, at Oxford
Noise Pollution: ONEX Peace earns DNV SILENT-E notation, a first for a Merchant Ship
ONEX Peace, an Aframax tanker built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries and delivered to its owner ONEX, has become the world’s first merchant ship to receive DNV’s SILENT-E notation. The SILENT-E notation ensures ships do not exceed average-to-moderate Underwater Radiation Noise (URN) levels. Vessels with this notation can minimize their impact on marine life and document noise performance for authorities, or those requiring proof of noise emissions for transit through vulnerable areas.“ONEX Peace is a competitive ship that can operate in waters with strict regulations without

South Korea’s container shipping giant Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) and compatriot shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) have joined forces on the research, development and innovation in the field of smart ship technologies.Under a Memorandum of Understanding, the parties would conduct research on real-time service system based on IoT (Internet of Things), design on-shore platforms for optimized fleet operation, develop automated warehousing systems for ship materials and development economic navigation solutions.HMM plans to promote the innovation of smart ship technologi
Ørsted Sees Huge Offshore Wind Potential in S Korea
Korean companies for Taiwanese projects and European projects. We are fairly confident we can collaborate with Korean companies,” Matthias Bausenwein, Orsted’s head of Asia-Pacific operations, said.The report said that this year, Orsted signed two multi-billion contracts with Korea’s Hyundai Steel Industries and Samkang M&T to provide jacket foundations, and with LS Cable to provide the undersea cable that is used in the construction of Taiwan’s Greater Changhua 1 & 2a offshore wind farm. Greater Changhua projects are being developed by Orsted with a total capacity of
World’s First: LR Digital Type Approval to HHI
The world's largest shipbuilding company Hyundai Heavy Industries Co (HHI) has become the first to obtain a Lloyd’s Register (LR) approval for a digital component as it received green light to use the technology for its Integrated Smartship Solution (ISS).According to LR, digital type approval delivers an assurance system to provide confidence in the market for the supply of digital components and offers all the benefits of traditional type approval; reassurance on supply chain quality and robustness within the marine environment. Digital type approval can apply to both components within
