GCE Ocean Technology

Congratulations to our member Corvus Energy for leading the way in commercializing and scaling new technology that benefit both the economy and the environment. 🎉🎉🎉

Our start-up member, Nordic USV has provided data for the construction and civil engineering sectors, water and sewage management, research, and land-based industries. Moving forward, they aim to expand their focus to aquaculture and long-term environmental monitoring programs. Water sampling and CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) samples are available on kystdata.io. GCE Ocean Technology has supported them in market testing and connecting with larger potential clients. Sea Technology magazine has featured their inspiring story in this article: https://lnkd.in/duHNWq7M

Looking for young talents with fresh perspectives? This August, we are excited to welcome two interns to our team.🎓They will assist us while learning the ins and outs of the ocean industries. 🧩If you're interested in connecting with new talent too: Do not hesitate to, reach out to Thea Båtevik - [email protected] to book a stand at Ocean Young at Høgskulen på Vestlandet (HVL) in Bergen on September 11th. This is a great opportunity to showcase your business to a talented group of students studying energy-and ocean technology. Innovasjonsuken OPP | #hvl #oceanyoung #innovasjonsukenopp

CCB - Coast Center Base has recently been awarded TWO significant agreements with Equinor 🙌 A framework agreement on subsea services that was entered into in 2016 has now been extended by 3 years and an option of 2 x 3 years, and at the same time a contract is awarded for the production of new Cap-X structures for exploratory drilling in collaboration with the shipyard Kimek in Kirkenes. The framework agreement with CCB is executed by CCB Subsea AS, a leading supplier of subsea services. Under the framework agreement, CCB Subsea, in collaboration with the shipyard Kimek in Kirkenes, will also deliver on the newly awarded contract for the production of new CAP-X structures for drilling operations. 👉 Read the full press release on CCB - Coast Center Base's web pages. We congratulate our members with exciting news - well done! 🎉 #clustermembers #subsea #drillingoperations #haliadex250 📸 by CCB

Georgine Wind AS has secured NOK 331.8 million from Enova SF to bolster offshore wind efforts in Norway. In partnership with our cluster member Wergeland Group, they will construct a prototype of one of the world's most powerful offshore wind turbines on land at Sløvågen industrial site in Gulen. Scheduled for completion in 2025, this project aims to demonstrate cost-effective technology and accelerate Norway's offshore wind ambitions. 🌍 The project receives support because it aims to verify and demonstrate a more cost-effective technology than what is currently available in the market according to Enova. This is great news, and we are looking forward to following the progress! 📸 Wergeland base, Sløvåg in Gulen.
