HonuWorx Takes Delivery of its First ROV
with a full-scale prototype trial offshore in Canada, deploying an ROV from an autonomous submersible mothership platform and controlling the system from shore in what is believed to be a world-first demonstration."The deployment of ROVs has not changed in the last 40 years of the offshore energy industry with large, crewed, fossil fuel powered surface vessels typically used to transport vehicles to worksites. By removing the need for surface ships, the Loggerhead all-electric uncrewed system has the potential to vastly reduce the emissions, cost and risk of underwater robotics operations
EU’s Go-Ahead Brings $22M Wave Energy Scheme Step Closer to Offshore Deployment
The WEDUSEA project, involving 14 partners across offshore energy industry and academia, has received a formal go-ahead from the European Union, bringing the developers one step closer to the deployment of 1 MW wave energy device offshore Scotland.Co-funded by the EU Horizon Europe Program and UK’s innovation agency Innovate UK, the $22 million (€19.6 million) WEDUSEA project has undergone a comprehensive independent review by EU appointed external experts following its initial project design period to ensure the technical designs and all plans, budgets and protocols are fully in place and
Simulation Training Profile: Chris Hearn, Memorial University
Marine Simulation an indispensable driver.The reason that the province developed such an array of unique maritime expertise is actually fairly simple: they had to be.“We have a long history of maritime trade, including the fishery and through to what we have now [with a long-established offshore energy industry],” said Hearn. “We have this in our DNA, it's part of what we are. So there's this connectivity between all these different entities.What has happened is we've grown this tech sector to be primarily focused on the maritime and oceans industries because we needed to
