Greensea IQ and Ocean Power Technologies Extend Partnership
its versatile open architecture platform OPENSEA, Greensea IQ will continue to work with OPT to develop the next generation of OPT’s Maritime Domain Awareness Solution (MDAS).OPT is renowned for its over-the-horizon (OTH) MDAS-equipped PowerBuoy products. The OPT PowerBuoy serves as a renewable energy solution, harnessing its power from a combination of solar, wind, and wave activity. MDAS is integrated with OPT PowerBuoys to monitor and collect data in marine protected areas, mitigate illegal fishing, provide automated vessel traffic data for ports, or support extended offshore monitoring
Orbital to Supply Floating Tidal Energy Turbine for Washington State Project
Orbital Marine Power, a Scottish renewable energy company focused on the deployment of its pioneering floating tidal turbine, has been confirmed as the technology partner for Orcas Power & Light Cooperative (OPALCO)’s proposed site off Blakely Island in Rosario Strait, Washington State.Building on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between Orbital and OPALCO in 2021, the latest update follows the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) shortlisting two marine energy projects to receive $6 million for the development of a tidal energy research, development, and demonstration pilot site.

measurement campaigns to advanced numerical modelling and targeted R&D, towards closing the information gap in Atlantic Canada's offshore wind sector."Our work on behalf of Canadian policymakers is a significant step in Canada's energy transition. Canada's proactive policies for renewable energy and grid modernisation in anticipation of offshore wind development are commendable.“Our Venterra Geoscience team who have vast international experience, will offer strategic insights to not only meet but exceed Canada's clean energy goals, exemplifying responsible and sustainable
MIND Technology Grabs SeaLink Seismic Streamer System Order
will result in additional orders in the future.“The UUHR SeaLink systems can, we believe, be of great benefit in de-risking offshore wind farm installation by detecting sub-seafloor boulders and other geohazards. We think this further establishes Seamap as a key supplier of equipment for renewable energy projects,” said Mark Welker, Vice President of MIND and Seamap Managing Director
TDI-Brooks' Retrofitted Vessel Arrives to US for Offshore Wind Work
that can be deployed through the mid-ship moonpool.The system can penetrate the soil up to 40-50 meters, depending on its composition, to determine the soil's exact makeup.This data is crucial for identifying the best location and design for offshore developments like wind farms. The offshore renewable energy sector is expanding rapidly, resulting in a high demand for TDI's services on both the U.S. East and West Coasts, the company said.“TDI-Brooks remains dedicated to the expanding offshore wind sector in addition to various scientific survey initiatives.“Despite the robust demand
Equinor and Polenergia Hire RockWave for Offshore Wind Subsurface Data Reprocessing
accuracy and reliability of data in the offshore wind development project.The Baltyk 1 wind farm is located approximately 80 km north of the Polish coast in the Baltic Sea.“This contract award underscores our expertise in providing advanced seismic solutions tailored to the unique needs of the renewable energy sector. By delivering superior subsurface imaging, we aim to support Equinor and Polenergia in achieving their vision of sustainable energy production while mitigating project risks,” said Matt Swan, Co-Founder and Managing Director of RockWave.Aside from Baltyk 1, Equinor and Polenergia
AI Tool to Tackle Boulder Issues for Offshore Wind Developments
Renewable energy industry supplier Ocean Geophysics has introduced an AI-driven boulder identification tool, which is expected to reduce development risk, time and cost for developers of offshore wind farms.Large, individual boulders as well as boulder fields with thousands, sometimes millions of smaller boulders pose a big challenge for the planning of offshore wind farms and cable routes. An analysis of the seabed is a prerequisite prior to any construction work.Side-scan sonar – a system for detecting objects on the seafloor – is commonly used to identify boulders on the seabed. This
