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.

Damen Floats Out Australian Icebreaker
vessel for Serco subsidiary DMS Maritime on behalf of the Australian Department of the Environment and Energy. The vessel has been designed with a multi-mission role in mind. It will keep Australia’s three permanent research stations on the Antarctic continent and its research station on Macquarie Island supplied with cargo, equipment and personnel. Additionally, it will serve as a fully equipped research laboratory facility for up to 116 scientific staff.Construction of the vessel began in August 2017 with a ceremonial keel-laying ceremony. Building from the keel up, the build process has
