Beyond its crucial role in the energy transition, how can responsible offshore wind also have a net-positive impact on the ocean and biodiversity?
The Offshore Wind Net Positive Challenge presented by Southerly Ten will create opportunities for innovative Australian and New Zealand companies to work with the emerging OSW industry, enabling it to be a force for good for the climate, ocean, and biodiversity.
Deadline extended to 15 Jan 2025
The Society for Underwater Technology invite you to the February 2025 Evening Technical Meeting.
The evening will focus on the following three topics:
In this session, Nicole Jones from the University of Western Australia will highlight advancements in predicting internal tides and nonlinear internal waves.
Marcelo Silva from Fugro will also discuss foundation design adaptations for carbonate sediments, particularly for upcoming offshore wind farm developments.
Spaces are limited so secure your spot today – RSVP to tide@uwa.edu.au by Friday 4 October.
The Society for Underwater Technology invite you to the August 2024 Evening Technical Meeting:
Now in it’s third year of growth, Engineering Ocean Solutions (EOS) is for technical professionals, innovators and business leaders creating solutions for marine, subsea, maritime, defence and coastal engineering applications.
EOS attracts participants from different disciplines, sectors and across SE Asia to engage in peer-to-peer learning, creative collaboration, site study tours, demonstrations, industry challenges and immersive experiences.
Site study tours include leading-edge robotics, shipbuilding, additive manufacturing and engineering facilities. Facilitated Deep Dive sessions include technical presentations and panel discussions with strong audience participation. The networking is second to none in stunning coastal locations, curated by skilled facilitators and enabled by latest in digital networking technology.
The long-term strategy of the Blue Economy is aimed at unlocking the potential of ocean resources through the sustainable development of offshore seafood and renewable energy production systems.
This Blue Economy symposium was initiated at the OMAE 42nd International Conference on Ocean, Offshore & Arctic Engineering which was held in Melbourne in 2023.
Owing to its success, the symposium has become a permanent feature symposium in OMAE and it covers emerging technologies in the context of the blue economy with a focus on aquaculture and renewable energy applications.
In this webinar, 3 presentations were selected to cover some of the aforementioned topics in the context of blue economy.
Presentation 1:
Industrialization of Ocean Fish Farming Contributing to Boost Supply of Marine Proteins – Solutions and Challenges + Q&A.
Speaker: Mr. Per Arild Aland (DNV)
Presentation 2:
Designing for the Animal: Reimagining Offshore Fish Structures + Q&A.
Speakers: Dr Louise Kregting & Suzanne Black (Pant&Food Research NZ)
Presentation 3:
Digital Twin-Driven Optimal Design of Connector Stiffness for Floating Multi-Modular Structures – an Application for Floating Solar Energy Harvest + Q&A.
Speaker: Prof Dong Trong Nguyen (NTNU)

Flipping the script for Industry to consider the competitive advantage of working directly alongside First Nations through changing the formula of corporate responsibility in a more legitimised and objective way.
Unlocking the Blue Economy through an inclusive and equitable approach does not happen by chance. As governments, investors, rightsholders and stakeholders look to the sea as the next economic frontier, there is a renewed focus on ensuring a balanced approach to developing and managing ocean resources through cross-disciplinary engagement.
The presentation and video will explore outcomes from a trans-Tasman scoping project funded to build a Cultural Licence to Operate framework that helps to create the ecosystem for an ethical, equitable, dynamic, and responsive system in which negotiations are customised at place. This Indigenous-led study set out to strengthen the guiding tracks and transparency for shifting out from a transactional way to engage with First Nations through “keeping up an appearance” to building and maintaining a relational way of maximising co-benefits.

The SeaCities Lab at Griffith University conducts research on aquatic urbanism and floating marine structures. This presentation will explore floating projects that address solutions for marine protection, provide renewable energy, and ensure food security. The SeaCities Lab has been at the forefront of the development of the SeaFisher novel offshore fish pen under the Blue Economy CRC, amongst other projects such as the SeaManta and SeaOasis. The SeaManta is a floating artificial reef designed to enhance dive experiences, while the SeaSurveyor monitors Marine Protection Areas in international waters. SeaWatt 1000 introduces innovative floating 15MW Trestle Type wind turbines, along with a Floating Energy Island. The SeaFisher project, under the Blue Economy CRC, focuses on large-scale offshore fish pen, while SeaOasis addresses food security challenges through sustainable floating devices functioning as integrated systems like terrestrial oases. These projects, among others, have been published in journals and books such as ‘Global Blue Economy – Analysis, Developments, and Challenges: Offshore Fish Farming: Challenges and Developments in Fish Pen Designs’, ‘SeaCities: Aquatic Urbanism,’ ‘SeaCities: Urban Tactics for Sea-Level Rise,’ and ‘SeaOasis: Floating Aquaculture for Smallholders’ Global Food Security.’ |
