baseline before NORI’s offshore strategic partner, Allseas, tests a system consisting of a prototype nodule collector at the seafloor connected to a riser system to bring nodules to the surface production vessel, Hidden Gem, TMC said.According to TMC, researchers use a range of high-tech equipment, including bespoke tools developed by MIT, Scripps, and Sequoia Scientific, to characterize the behavior of sediment plumes generated by the prototype collector on the seafloor. Researchers are using three dedicated moorings, current meters with acoustic modems to provide real-time seafloor

farm will begin generating electricity by the end of 2022, ultimately supplying power to up to 1.5 million households.Dozens of researchers at the North Sea will be working day and night through the summer to learn as much as possible about the site where the wind farm will be erected. Using high-tech equipment, they are performing underwater scans to look for bombs and shipwrecks and map the sea floor, it said.While the activities started in February, the storms Freya and Gareth played havoc with the schedule. The two research ships – with a total crew of 30 – were forced to anchor in Schevening

Research Vessels: The Fleet is In
meters wide, with a gross tonnage of about 9,000 tons, Kronprins Haakon will be able to accommodate 55 people (including research personnel, students and crew) in 38 cabins. Its hangar at the bow will have two helicopters and the unit will be equipped with a ROV, AUV and moon pool, among other high-tech equipment. Kronprins Haakon will have a cruise speed of 15 knots and will be able to move on independently through ice thick up to one meter and with particular silence requirements to avoid disturbing the sea environment. The ship was built according to criteria ensuring minimum environmental
New Rescue Vessel Decked out with High-tech Equipment
and set to work by MacArtney’s French subsidiary. A newly built state-of-the-art rescue vessel Sirius operated by VLOOT dab is 45 m long, almost 11 m wide and can reach a speed of 13 knots. Sirius, which has been designed for combating disasters at sea, required a range of high-tech equipment. The scope of supply for Sirius includes a multibeam echo sounder system comprising a high-resolution multibeam echo sounder, Kongsberg EM 2040 Dual RX, which is a wide band HD shallow water multi-beam echo sounder optimal for any high-resolution mapping and inspection application

; “That diver has a lot going on – especially a combat diver on a DPD flying underwater at three or four knots,” said Kinnaman. “If you ask a combat swimmer ‘what do you need to make this mission possible?,’” they are not going to mention a piece of high tech equipment. “They are going to tell you, ‘I need to get to Point B, period.’ That’s our job –to get them there. So we are not building a navigation system; we are not building an autopilot system; we are not building a mission planning system. We’re building a &lsquo
