His appointment will support the development of SMD's portfolio as it provides solutions for key growth markets, including offshore wind, renewable energy, and critical subsea infrastructure.The senior appointments support a wider programme of investment at SMD, including the expansion of its capabilities through a USD$4.09 million (£3 million) TechWorks facility. The dedicated technology development and manufacturing center supports
BMT Joins Seabed 2030
efficient and more sustainable operations for government, industry and infrastructure owners.Across Australia and the wider Asia Pacific region, BMT is expanding its maritime capabilities, delivering system assurance and sustainability services for complex and critical assets ranging from offshore renewable energy and port infrastructure to commercial and naval vessels. The collaboration with Seabed 2030 complements this work by connecting BMT's expertise in maritime design, asset monitoring, and environmental and climate solutions with a global initiative focused on improving our understanding of
Batteries at Sea: Not All-Electric, Not Everywhere but Increasingly Essential
spinning reserve, batteries allow engines to operate closer to optimal load. To demonstrate, research comparing a hypothetical battery-electric container ship with an international combustion engine (ICE)-powered vessel running on e-methanol found that the former option reduced life-cycle renewable energy demand by more than 60%. Direct electricity – including shore power and battery charging – required roughly as much renewable energy as the electricity consumed in e-fuel production.This is where batteries become commercially compelling. A battery does not have to carry the full

, Africa, and the Americas," he said at the cable landing ceremony.Portugal's Atlantic coastline positions it as a prime hub for intercontinental subsea cables, helping to turn the country into a magnet for AI-driven data centres.Lisbon also seeks to leverage abundant low-cost renewable energy from hydro, solar and wind sources, with more than 2.6 gigawatts of capacity under development.The pipeline is led by the 1.2-GW Start Campus project in Sines, which is set to benefit from Microsoft's AI infrastructure investments, and is expected to grow substantially in the years ahead
CorPower Gains World-First DNV Wave Energy Prototype Approval
technology to pass this bar,” said CorPower Ocean co-founder and CEO Patrik Möller.The news comes as CorPower Ocean advances its first two industrial wave farms, in Portugal and Scotland. It forms part of a broader ambition to elevate wave energy into the world’s third-largest renewable energy source, complementing wind and solar to deliver the lowest-cost clean energy mix around the clock.The Prototype Certificate follows a seven-year process with DNV, which began with establishing the design basis for the CorPower C4.Throughout the program, DNV independently reviewed and approved
SMD, Prysmian Advance Power Cable Installation with New Plough
for linking energy generation to security of supply, and their capacity positions them as a national strategic priority. The quad bundles will provide grid connections from the next-generation offshore wind farms to key industrial hubs deep in the heart of industrial Europe. They will also link renewable energy resources to high-density demand by an offshore green link, offsetting the need for land cables, pylons and disruption to the local population,” said Paul Davison, Deputy CEO at SMD.“Prysmian is proud to have partnered with SMD on the development of a state-of-the-art subsea plough
Van Oord, Sumitomo Sign HVDC Framework Deal for Scottish Interconnector
progressed under the framework.The link is intended to increase network capacity, strengthen system resilience and support the integration of renewable electricity into the wider UK energy system.Under the collaboration, Van Oord will support offshore energy and subsea power cable projects as renewable energy capacity expands.“As the energy transition accelerates, investment in offshore transmission infrastructure is becoming increasingly important to connect renewable energy to the electricity grid. This framework agreement brings together leading expertise across the HVDC value chain and
