Combining sail and crane in one machine

A ship’s crane which can double up as a sail when not being used for lifting is being developed by Kristiansand-based Nekkar. That will provide additional propulsion for the vessel and reduce fuel consumption.

Renewable energy

Generating power from wind, waves and sun

An experienced engineer laid off in the oil price downturn came up with the idea of Flex2power – a new type of base for wind turbines which also derives energy simultaneously from waves and sun.

Visualising the complete offshore wind farm

Moreld Apply is utilising expertise and methodologies from subsea field developments to engineer and visualise complete offshore wind farms.

Renewable energy

Less time and fewer resources to design, build and operate wind energy power plants

The software solution allows planners to visualise how the time taken to produce Asian components can affect a project in Europe or how bottlenecks can be eliminated in an installation campaign for wind turbines.

New solution for subsea lifting

Beluga Subsea wanted to do something about the eternal challenge of lifting under water without cranes or gasbags, and came up with a completely new way of approaching the problem.

Fisheries and aquaculture

Large bore flexible umbilical for aquaculture

Tess has developed solutions, based on own existing technology used in the oil industry, to meet new requirements for exposed fish farms into rougher seas.

Renewable energy

More intelligent wind-farm control

Norway’s Origo Solutions saw that substantial financial benefits could be achieved from smarter management of wind farms by operating and monitoring such facilities as a whole.

New trawl technology supports fish sorting

Scantrol Deep Vision has developed a subsea camera system which identifies the species and length of fish entering a trawl, and sorts the catch in the trawl. This makes fishing more efficient and sustainable, while cutting fuel costs.

Health and medicine

Turning diver technology to treating stroke patients

Solutions developed for diving are being applied by NUI AS to help post-stroke rehabilitation, cancer patients and people with damage to tissues and the central nervous system.

Moorings for floating wind turbines

MacGregor Norway AS delivers anchoring solutions for floating petroleum facilities. It now sees opportunities in the sharply expanding market for offshore wind power.

From fish to drilling to wind power

In 2008 4Subsea had the vision that drilling operations on the Skarv field in the Norwegian North Sea ought to be controlled by actual measurement data rather than design parameters alone.

Renewable energy

Improved trenching of subsea high-voltage cables

FSubsea’s pumps dig deeper into the seabed than other available solutions, eliminating the need to dump gravel over trenched electrical transmission cables in order to protect them.

Renewable energy

Dynamic cables for offshore wind farms

Unitech has specialised for several decades in the design, production and delivery of subsea equipment for the oil and gas sector, including connectors and cables. It is now turning its attention to wind power at sea.

Renewable energy

Cost-effective supports for offshore wind turbines

Wind turbine foundations can be installed at sea faster more cheaply and more safely with the solution Imenco has developed through its involvement in the oil and gas industry.

Fisheries and aquaculture

Using sound for mooring line integrity monitoring

Acoustic sensors and wireless transfer allow Scanmatic’s system to monitor mooring lines on floating offshore installations. The company is now looking at new markets in offshore wind and aquaculture.

Fisheries and aquaculture

More efficient aquaculture and healthier fish

CSUB AS has succeeded in new markets in aquaculture and land-based products on the basis of delivering underwater structures to the international oil and gas industry.

Renewable energy

Data integration makes hydropower smarter

A digital platform which integrates large volumes of data into a unified structure for oil and gas companies is now being extended to make the hydropower generation more efficient and intelligent.

Communication

Plugging in marine-based industries

Communication, control and management of advanced operations via an offshore 4G mobile network is as relevant for fishing as it is for the petroleum sector.

Aker Solutions ready to scale up offshore wind

Semi-submersible platforms from Aker Solutions can carry larger and much more powerful wind turbines than those found on land.
