More environmentally friendly, efficient, and easier installation of offshore wind
Framo has developed a pump system for suction anchors that enables almost noise-free and environmentally friendly installation of offshore wind turbines.

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.
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.
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.
Marine Archeology
Hunting historical treasures on the seabed
GeoPluss at Randaberg outside Stavanger is using geophysical methods and technology from the subsea industry to conduct archaeological investigations on the seabed.

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.

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.
