Silicon Sensing’s Sales Rise 65% as it Hits 25th Anniversary
units (IMU’s).The latest inertial measurement unit, the DMU41, redefines the capabilities of MEMS technology, bringing high-performance sensing in a smaller, more cost-effective unit. This robust unit has proven to operate flawlessly in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, setting a new standard for reliability and adaptability in the marine market.“Our latest products on the market are delivering tactical grade performance levels, exceeding the envelope typically expected of MEMS technology.“However, our next generation of products, available in the next two to three years
Affordable Nightvision Technology: SIONYX Nightwave
shock rated. Nightwave integrates to most any vessel's electronics by connecting to major brand MFDs via the analog video output. With flexible mounting and setup, Nightwave can also connect to a mobile device via Wi-Fi for an enhanced user experience. At an MSRP of $1,595.00, Nightwave sets a new standard of affordability for night vision.Features include:• <1mlx moonless starlight sensitivity allows mariners to see well beyond human eyesight and detect a man-sized object at 150m.• The system’s high resolution detector provides upgraded quality imaging capability in near total
Optime Subsea Reels In Equinor’s Rosebank Deal
only provides increased safety and efficiency but also represents a crucial step toward a sustainable and innovative future for the subsea industry,” said Jan-Fredrik Carlsen, CEO of Optime Subsea.Optime has already delivered multiple ROCS systems and observes that this is gradually becoming a new standard method for such operations.To remind, Equinor and its UK-based partner Ithaca Energy made the final investment decision (FID) to progress the Phase 1 of the Rosebank development on the UK Continental Shelf in September 2023.Together, the companies are investing $3.8 billion in the Phase 1 development
Jan De Nul Inks Two Contracts with TenneT
to the extra-high voltage grid in Unterweser. The grid connections will enable renewable electricity from offshore wind farms with a transmission capacity of altogether 4 GW to be fed into the German grid.BalWin4 and LanWin1 are part of the 2GW Program. With its transnational approach and a new standard for offshore grid connection systems, the 2GW Program accelerates European offshore grid expansion and secures energy supply for Europe. Together, the total of 14 offshore grid connections in the 2GW program will supply up to 35 million households with green wind energy.XL cable-laying vessel Fleeming
FOW Players Target 132kV Dynamic Cables
UK industry players are eying the development of 132kV dynamic array cables to meet the demands of ever larger turbines, but there are calls for standards to be agreed before they invest.The need for 132kV cables is being driven by the growth is turbine capacity to 15MW and beyond, with 20MW turbines even being discussed. These sizes out a strain on use of even the latest 66kV capacity cables, as it reduces the number of turbines per “string” of cable that can be connected – meaning that vastly more cable has to be used.Robert Keast, program manager at the Carbon Trust, told the
SWiG's Wireless Acoustic Standard to Improve Comms Between Offshore Vessels & Subsea Vehicles
Subsea Wireless Group (SWiG) has launched a new wireless acoustic standard to improve communication between offshore vessels and the vehicles used in underwater inspection, maintenance, and repair.SWiG, an oil and gas industry network with members from all parts of the supply chain, operators, systems integrators, equipment, vehicle, and sensor manufacturers, addresses problems related to the increasing diversity of communication systems used by Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs).According to the organization, its new standard, SWiGacoustic, provides a simple acoustic protocol that satisfies
Floating Wind Project Gains Funding for Pilot
in the floating sector will be enormous,” said Julian Brown, wind industry veteran and Non-Executive Director of SENSEWind. “And super tall onshore wind turbines are set to become the norm, enabling improved energy capture in lower wind regimes. SENSEWind technology is poised to set a new standard for installing and maintaining such wind farms on a cost effective and low risk basis.”The company’s cost modelling shows that the SENSE concept would reduce LCoE for tall tower onshore wind by up to 6% and floating offshore wind by up to 9%. The practicalities behind these figures will
BW Group, Miros Enter JV Aimed at Fuel-Saving, Emission Reduction
BW Group and Miros are launching Miros Mocean, a joint venture to provide the shipping industry with a new standard in vessel performance optimization. Miros Mocean is aimed at filling the void identified by BW Group and Miros, aiming to provide "unprecedented data accuracy into the operating conditions of a vessel, a missing piece in vessel performance until now," per the press release announcing the JV.“Decarbonizing the shipping industry is the grand challenge of our time," said Remi Eriksen, DNV Group President and CEO.
