Subsea 3D Printing Tech Targeted for 2022
, the company says.Development of the 3D printing capability will run concurrently with an expectation a first application will be possible in 2022.“The collaboration with Equinor, Gassco, and SINTEF represents world-class expertise within operations of underwater installations, underwater transport systems, and research on metallic repair processes. This unique opportunity to develop underwater 3D printing for lifetime extension is an important technology leap - not only for Kongsberg Ferrotech but also for the industry,” says Carlsen. “We plan to offer service and maintenance based

to climate change impacts on the ocean and delivery of environmentally sustainable use of the ocean and its resources will be the predominant drivers of future ocean science and technology. Innovation will be needed to support the complete decarbonization of the world’s energy and transport systems. The ocean technology sector will need to support a huge increase in the deployment of ocean renewable energy systems and especially offshore wind. As we step towards the full displacement of hydrocarbons, we will need to deliver the means for large scale carbon capture and storage

interest in KBC’s growth strategy in upstream oil and gas. With their existing solutions for process simulation, flow assurance, thermodynamics and production assurance, Kongsberg and KBC will be able to offer a more comprehensive lifecycle solution from concept selection to hydrocarbon transport systems, the companies said. Kongsberg believes that KBC’s approach for flow assurance thermodynamics will be supported by the industry at large and sees that the new investments KBC has made to integrate with reservoir and production technology over time are vital in changing industry dynamics

that took place on the occasion and which was attended by the IMSO Director General. The event opened with a video message from the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr Ban Ki-Moon, who highlighted that broadband networks provide smart eco-friendly solutions to manage cities and transport systems, enhance efficiency for manufacturing industries, conduct long distance diagnosis and treatments in remote locations, and promote innovative educational applications around the world. All of these elements mentioned by the UN Secretary-General are relevant to communications at sea: monitoring
