projects in Taiwan, India and Portugal. Together, these sites will expand the company’s data collection and performance validation across diverse marine conditions, supporting the path to full-scale commercialization.Eco Wave Power partnered with California-based companies including All-Ways Metal, a woman-owned fabrication company, which produced the innovative floaters, and C&S Welding Inc., a family-owned Wilmington contractor, performed the installation.The pilot forms an essential stepping stone for Eco Wave Power’s U.S. commercialization strategy and strengthens the company&rsquo
Eco Wave Power Installs Floaters for LA’s Pilot Wave Energy Plant
floaters installed and our energy conversion system installation underway, we're proud to demonstrate how existing coastal infrastructure can be leveraged for clean, reliable power from ocean waves," said Inna Braverman, Founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power.The floaters were fabricated by All-Ways Metal, a California-based company, and installed by C&S Welding, a Wilmington-based marine and industrial contractor.Hosted by AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles and supported by Shell's Marine Renewable Program, the project utilizes floaters mounted on existing marine structures, converting wave
Eco Wave Power Signs Up Local Contractor for California Wave Energy Pilot
wave energy floaters and the company's energy conversion unit at the Port of Los Angeles.The agreement marks the final step before deployment begins for Eco Wave Power's first-ever onshore wave energy project in the United States.All floaters for the pilot proejct have been fabricated by All-Ways Metal, and are expected to be fully assembled in the upcoming week, keeping the installation timeline on track.The project is hosted by AltaSea at the Port of LA, with Shell's Marine Renewable Program providing co-investment and support.The pilot will demonstrate Eco Wave Power's patented onshore
MacArtney Supplies Fully Integrated Clean Lab Solutions to the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research
analyzing water samples collected at depth, ensuring data integrity and enhancing the reliability of scientific findings. The solution's core is a 20-foot clean lab container, purpose-built to maintain sample integrity during deep-sea research operations. The controlled environment eliminates metal contamination and environmental interference, which can compromise trace element analysis and sensitive chemical readings.Complementing the clean lab is a containerized MERMAC winch system with 8,000 meters of clean CTD cable and a Sea-Bird Scientific SBE 32 24-bottle carousel water sampler with
Eco Wave Power, AltaSea Agree Wave Energy Pilot’s September Launch
marine infrastructure, Eco Wave Power's technology converts wave motion into clean electricity via land-based conversion units, offering a scalable renewable energy solution for coastal cities.The project is supported by Shell's Marine Renewable Program and manufactured locally by All-Ways Metal.Israeli Firm Gets Final Permit for US Wave Energy Demo"AltaSea was founded to accelerate ocean-based solutions to climate change, and Eco Wave Power is a perfect example of that vision becoming reality. This project is not just a first for the U.S. - it's a model for how ports around the
Scientists Replicate Prehistoric Seafaring with Primitive Canoe
was aboard one of the escort boats.Archeological evidence indicates that people approximately 30,000 years ago first crossed from Taiwan to some of the Ryukyu islands, which include Okinawa. But scientists had puzzled over how they could do this with the rudimentary technology of the time - no maps, no metal tools and only primitive vessels. And the Kuroshio current, comparable in strength to the Gulf Stream off Mexico, presented a particular challenge.The research was in the vein of the famous 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition in which Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl carried out a much longer journey by raft
ECOsubsea: Closed-Loop Hull Cleaning Is a Regulatory Imperative
. Unlike ballast water, which is now subject to international regulations, hull biofouling remains underregulated despite profound implications for both vessel performance and marine ecosystems.In-water hull cleaning introduces additional pollution risks. Many antifouling coatings work by leaching heavy metal-based toxins to deter biofouling growth. These products are typically polymer based and a large source of micro-plastic pollution into the ocean over time. It is estimated that marine coatings release over 210,000 tons of micro-plastic annually in the EU alone. Hull cleaning exacerbates the problems
Diver Killed During Salvage of Bayesian
underwater in Porticello, police said, adding that the precise cause of death was still unknown.Italian news agencies reported that the diver was a 39-year-old Dutch national who worked for the Dutch specialist salvage company Hebo Maritiemservice.The AGI news agency said the man was hit by a piece of metal as divers were cutting the boom - the horizontal pole attached to the vertical mast of the ship - from the wreck of the Bayesian.The attempt to lift the yacht off the seabed, as requested by Italian prosecutors, had been scheduled to take place later this month and is supposed to help shed light
