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

Partners Plan Floating Wind Farm in South Korea

in the development company Korea Floating Wind Power (KFWind), joining founding shareholder WindPower Korea. Principle Power, which had a role in originating the KFWind project portfolio, will supply its WindFloat foundation technology for the project.South Korea has become a hotbed for renewable energy projects, and offshore wind in particular. The South Korean Government has called for 13 gigawatt (GW) of offshore wind to be installed by 2030 and set a target of at least 30% renewable energy by 2040.KFWind signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Ulsan in January 2019 to cooperate
