For Those with Saltwater in Their Veins
Systems and Stocks). This was the first major Australian Antarctic project investigating deep sea marine science, and Nella Dan was modified to support deep sea research trawling with instrument rooms, echo sounders, a computer data logging system and laboratory.Her ending came in Buckles Bay, Macquarie Island, when she smashed against the rocks on December 3, 1987, while transferring fuel to the Macquarie Island research station. The wind had picked up and the anchor dragged. Everyone was evacuated, and she was refloated several weeks later but caught fire and was scuttled in deep water on December

Google to Build Subsea Cable for Christmas Island
the Government's active work with industry and government partners to support secure, resilient and reliable connectivity across the Pacific," said Communications Minister Michelle Rowland in a statement.The other partners in the cable project include Australian data centre company NextDC, Macquarie-backed telecommunications group Vocus, and Subco.Subco previously built an Indian Ocean cable from Perth to Oman with spurs to the U.S. military base of Diego Garcia, and Cocos Islands, where Australia is upgrading a runway for defence surveillance aircraft.Although 900 km (560 miles) apart, Christmas
Rovco Secures Survey Work on UK’s 1.5GW Outer Dowsing Offshore Wind Farm
an unmanned surface vessel (USV) onboard, it is equipped to deliver simultaneous data collection with instant upload to the vessel.The vessel also has a work class ROV for concurrent inspection activities.The project is a joint venture between TotalEnergies, Corio Generation - a portfolio company of Macquarie Asset Management operating on a standalone basis - and Gulf Energy Development.With a planned installed capacity of 1.5 GW, it will be one of the UK’s largest offshore wind farms upon completion.“We’re thrilled to have been chosen as a partner to conduct this vital survey work
Corio Deploys LiDARs for Offshore Wind Projects in Philippines
Corio Generation, a Macquarie Group company, has deployed Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) systems for offshore wind projects in the Philippines.To support its development strategy, LiDARs have been installed in the vicinity of sites in Guimaras and Cavite.Designed to withstand the harsh coastal environment with a back-up power and monitoring system, the LiDARs will collect detailed information on the wind resources of two potential wind farms and will remain operational for at least 12 months.“The successful deployment of LiDARs represents a major milestone achievement as we continue to
Floating Wind Power Gains Traction But Can It Set Sail?
. "For floating, the expectation is that it will sell power at a higher price than fixed-foundation offshore wind for several years while it industrialises and gets to a point where it can compete on a like-for-like basis," said Jonathan Cole, chief executive of Corio Generation, part of Macquarie's MQG.AX Green Investment Group. OFFSHORE PLANS Norway's Equinor kick-started the floating wind industry after two of its oil and gas engineers saw a marker buoy they thought could be a structure to hold a floating turbine. The company installed a pilot floating turbine in 2009
PanGeo Subsea Delivers Sub Bottom Imager for Formosa 2 Depth of Burial Survey
the export cables of one of the region’s largest offshore wind farms. Expected to commence April 2021, the surveys will see the SBI image the cables to a depth greater than 1.5m burial depth while the SBI is mobilized onto an ROV for the duration of operations. Jointly developed by JERA (49%), Macquarie's Green Investment Group (26%) and Swancor Renewable Energy (25%), Formosa 2 offshore wind project is located between four and ten nautical miles off Miaoli County, with 376 MW installed capacity. There will be 47 Siemens 8 MW turbines on jacket foundations installed in up to 55m water
Rovco, CWind Wrap First Phase of East Anglia ONE Subsea Inspection Works
capacity to produce 714MW of electricity, first delivered power to the UK grid in early September 2019. All 102 turbines are now installed and the wind farm was fully commissioned in July 2020CWind, part of the Global Marine Group, was awarded a multi-year framework from ScottishPower Renewables and Macquarie's Green Investment Group to manage the subsea inspection services, including subsea maintenance, surveys and corrective maintenance planning, as well as pre-engineering studies at the offshore wind farm.Rovco, led by CWind, began work in July 2020 – using a combination of DPII SOV with
CWind Taps Rovco for East Anglia ONE Offshore Wind Farm Work
a long-term contract by CWind for subsea work on the East Anglia ONE offshore wind project.The Rovco team will carry out a campaign of subsea inspection and survey work on all subsea structures, informing the maintenance of the wind turbine and substation foundations. ScottishPower Renewables and Macquarie’s Green Investment Group (GIG) said last Wednesday that all of the 102 offshore wind turbines were installed on the East Anglia ONE offshore windfarm.As for the financial value of the Rovco contract, Rovco said the contract was a "multi-million-pound" one.
