The Glosten-designed vessel will replace the existing RV Thuwal, which was originally designed as a fishing vessel in Australian coastal waters. The RV will be equipped with advanced positioning systems to enable long-term long-range and autonomous vehicle deployment as well as geoscience sampling systems.
CorPower Ocean will unveil its next-generation C4 wave energy converter and its new "CorPack concept", providing the cornerstone for future wave energy farms. The unveiling will take place on June 15 in Stockholm, Sweden. The CorPower C4 device will be designed as part of a four-system wave energy array located off the coast of Agusadura.
CRP Subsea has invested in a new precision-engineered manufacturing cell to support its growing manufacturing production needs. The dedicated cell expanded its machining capabilities by introducing a 5-axis CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine and a 3-axis turning center. The new unit will be used to produce the internal clamps of the distributed buoyancy modules.
Bayonet Ocean Vehicles was formed following the acquisition of C-2 Innovations' line of undersea crawling robots. Headquartered in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the company shares with Greensea a newly renovated 17,000-square-foot manufacturing facility with waterfront access for year-round testing and training. The robots have been renamed the Bayonet 150, Bayonet 250 and Bayonet 350 vehicles. Their applications include amphibious operations and coastal warfare, such as mine detection and mine clearance.
Through years of work and experience in solving construction and production problems, more and more science has been incorporated into products and processes. Increasingly, self-developed electronics, a development laboratory, computer programs, and computer-aided informatics and organizations were used. At the end of the 60's, the" Research and Development" unit was established, and at the end of the 70's, the "Jugoturbine Institute". The development of basic products remained in the working organizations for the production of steam turbines, engines and pumps, but more and more laboratories, computer capacities, development and investment engineers were concentrated in the Institute, which reached 330 employee's in the mid-1980s.
Education as one of the most important determinants of the factory's survival was incomplete without a complete concept, with an insufficient number and uncoordinated structure of employees. For a example is the fact that in times of financial crisis, the company employed 35 graduate mechanical engineers, which was still insufficient given the volume of production. Due to the need for workers, a comprehensive and comprehensive program of support for education and engagement of workers has been defined.
