to work with industry jointly on.Another area that will develop is berthing. Unlike past USVs, these vessels will not be able to be put on a trailer and driven to a port for deployment. In some cases they’ll be able to sail into a port or harbor themselves (under remote pilot control), where local suppliers could support refueling. In busier waters, a crewed pilot vessel would come out and escort the USV into port. The company will also have a field team, to go out and support berthing, says Hook.“In building Armada, we really tried to address that. The biggest change is scale. A 21 m vessel

DWTEK will assist us with local suppliers, importation/customs and personnel work permits, and Visas.”MENCK will be providing a piling hammer spread including two 1200 KJ hammers with associated powerpacks and winches
Canada Invests in Its First Floating Tidal Energy Array
Director, Marine Renewables Canada, said, "Tidal energy is a prime example of a sector and clean technology that can spur economic development while helping Canada achieve its goals to reduce carbon emissions and act on climate change. Sustainable Marine has already successfully engaged local suppliers in its Grand Passage project, and this new project at FORCE creates more opportunities, particularly for firms with experience from other marine industries such as offshore oil and gas that are looking to diversify their business into renewable energy."

In addition, Ocean Installer will fabricate and install four spools and protective structures and carry out tie-ins and ready-for-operation activities. The operations will mainly be mobilised from Hammerfest, and will give spinoffs for local suppliers. Both Subsea 7 and Ocean Installer have previously been awarded similar contracts for the Johan Castberg development. There will be synergy effects between the two projects that are key developments for the Norwegian continental shelf and for North Norway in the years ahead. "Statoil&rsquo

and minimal environmental impact. It is important to understand the effects of wind, current, and waves on dynamic platform motion and mooring systems in early stage engineering design of the projects. The EcoSPRAY platform was collaboratively designed and built by DSA, Fundy Tidal, and local suppliers Clare Machine Works (Meteghan, NS) and Bear River Plastics (Cornwallis, NS). The experiment includes state of the art equipment to measure motion, mooring line loads, wind speeds, tidal currents, and wave conditions. The platform is equipped with a drag plate to simulate the thrust created by
