WEBINAR: Tidal Stream Supply Chain “Meet the Buyer”
Developers share project plans and opportunities across six UK and French sites
Two supply chain webinars events are planned on the 10th and 15th June where project and technology developers from tidal stream sites across the Channel in France and the UK will share the details of their forthcoming development and procurement plans. Both events will take place at 9.30 – 11:00 BST, (10.30 – 12:00 CET).
The events are part of the €45.4m Interreg funded Anglo-French Tidal Stream Industry Energiser (TIGER) project which aims to accelerate the commercialisation of the tidal stream industry in the Channel region by engaging regional supply chains and connecting them with leading tidal stream project and technology developers.
The 90-minute events will include introductory presentations from developers highlighting regional cross channel supply chain opportunities across the TIGER tidal stream sites. This includes a range of different site conditions and technologies with a range of different emerging needs. Participants are encouraged to sign up to both events which will be streamed simultaneously in French and English.
10th June French event:
Minesto & EDF on the Paimpol-Bréhat tidal test site in Brittany
Morbihan Hydro Energies SAS Tidal stream project in Golf de Morbihan, Southern Brittany
Normandie Hydroliennes and Hydroquest’s commercial tidal stream projects in Le Raz Blanchard, Normandy
15th June UK event:
Cambrian Offshore SW’s Ramsey Sound tidal test site in Pembrokeshire, Wales
QED Naval’s Community tidal test site outside of Yarmouth Harbour, Isle of Wight
Perpetuus Tidal Energy Centre (PTEC) supported by European Marine Energy Centre’s Tidal stream commercial demonstration site, Isle of Wight.
Why should you attend?
The presentations from developers will include details of project timelines, specifics as to the technologies deployed, and a variety of marine and onshore supply chain opportunities both current and future. These webinars are aimed at wide range of potential companies from small local suppliers providing for example craneage and transfer vessels up to and including large steel fabricators, marine operations and a wide range of civil engineering opportunities with varying scales of contract values.
Details of the projects at each site are available as site data packs on the Tiger project website.
The resources section of the website also holds videos and presentations from the technology specific supply chain events held in 2020.
Tidal stream turbines generate electricity from tidal currents using structures sometimes resembling underwater wind turbines (although there are still numerous different concepts - attend this even to find out more). Ocean Energy Europe’s ‘2030 Ocean Energy Vision’ predicts up to 2.4GW of Tidal stream energy capacity installed by 2030 and becoming cost competitive with fossil fuels. This means a sector with huge potential for market growth over the coming years with the potential to contribute to Government Net Zero targets.

The Hydrographic Society UK Announces Hydro 21 Conference and Exhibition
The Hydrographic Society UK (THS UK) are pleased to announce that they will be hosting the Hydro 21 conference from 16th to 18th November 2021 at Cork City Hall, Cork City, Ireland. Hydro 21, is the latest in the International Federation of Hydrographic Societies' world-renowned series of hydrographic symposia which date back to 1976.
Hydro 21 will incorporate the THS UK postponed Remote Hydrography conference but will be further expanded in terms of papers, exhibition and aligned events, and will retain the theme of ‘remote hydrography’. The speakers that were originally selected have been invited to refresh or revise their papers, it is likely that a further call for papers will be issued in May 2021.
THS UK Chief Executive, David Parker said: “Whilst we were very disappointed to have postponed our Remote Hydrography Conference twice in 2020, we are now looking forward to delivering an even better event in 2021. Hydro 21 will be a fantastic event that provides the hydrographic community with the opportunity for education and networking. To further connect with our Irish Region of THS UK we have also decided to host the event in Cork, Ireland. We would like to thank all of our Members, Speakers, Sponsors and Exhibitors for their patience and continued support.”
Seán Cullen, Chair and Regional Director of THS UK commented: “The Hydro 21 Conference and Exhibition will run immediately after the annual INFOMAR Seminar at the same venue – allowing for a greater networking opportunity for hydrographers in Ireland to meet up with the wider industry”.
Sponsorship and exhibiting opportunities will be released in the coming months.

Greensea Announces Free Webinar Series
A Unique Webinar Series of Conversation & Discovery for the Marine Industry
Greensea, creator of OPENSEA®, the universal open architecture software platform for the marine industry, announces an entertaining and educational webinar for anyone interested in robotics, entrepreneurship, and the marine industry. The webinar series, entitled The Mixtape Sessions, will be led by a variety of different speakers (both Greensea employees and other partners) and will take on different formats based on the discussion topic with all sessions allowing for an open conversation between speakers and participants.
“Like everyone else, Greensea has been unable to meet face-to-face with our customers, partners, or employees,” says Greensea CEO, Ben Kinnaman. “After a long winter in Vermont, we wanted to do something virtual, but also something that gets away from ‘the standard corporate webinar’ format. We want to have open and honest conversations with people about the issues and concerns that face all of us working in the marine industry. Hopefully, people will leave a Mixtape Session feeling like they learned something they might not have known and that they have had a good time. ”
Kinnaman goes on to say, “All of the presenters are passionate about their chosen topics. Most of us aren’t professional public speakers, so Greensea’s Mixtape Sessions may lack that corporate polish, but they should be fun. I’m hoping to present from Greensea’s neighborhood pub, if they’ll have me, to ensure that the atmosphere for my topic is even more relaxed.”
The first Mixtape session will be held March 24th on the topic “An Open Architecture Framework for the Next Generation of ROVs” and will be conducted in an interview format with Ben Kinnaman being interviewed by Marybeth Gilliam, Greensea CMO.
The Mixtape Session series will run through 2021, with an event happening most months. For more information, and to register, visit: Greensea.com/events.
We want to hear from you as well, if you would like to collaborate on your own Mixtape session, email [email protected]. Mixtape Sessions will be recorded and available for download by registered users after each event.

SUT launches Virtual Subsea Awareness Course
The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) has launched a foundation level virtual Subsea Awareness Course (SAC) based on its highly successful face-to-face five-day course which has seen over a thousand delegates during more than 20 years.
As Cheryl Burgess, Chief Executive of SUT explained:
“Like the face-to-face course the 5-session virtual SAC is aimed at new entrants who are already technically qualified but just entering the offshore energy industry and/or the subsea sector; technically qualified experienced personnel undergoing a technology transfer and conversion process into the subsea sector; and non-technical personnel from legal or finance sectors who regularly deal with the subsea sector and are eager to find out more.”
Week 1 of the first virtual SAC will run on the mornings of Tuesday 6th, Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th April; and will be followed by two sessions on 13th and 14th April. The syllabus for the five 3-hour sessions embraces subsea production equipment and systems; flow assurance; pipelines and risers; construction and installation; metocean; renewables and future technology trends; and operation, maintenance, and decommissioning. Future virtual 5-session SACs will be held at regular intervals.
Looking back at responses to the face-to-face course Cheryl Burgess explained:
“The face-to-face SAC has been attended by delegates from across the UK and from further afield including Angola, Azerbaijan, Egypt and Norway from oil and gas operating companies, from major contractors and organisations from throughout the supply chain. The SAC has attracted accolades in plenty – the following being very typical:
- A great course from which to gain a thorough understanding of the existing technologies that can help solve current problems
- Extremely helpful and definitely recommended for people of all disciplines
- The presenters were excellent, and the course material was at a very professional level
- Great course and great instructors
- Well organised and the presenters made learning about subsea enjoyable
- This course increased subsea vision and understanding
- It helped me improve and consolidate my existing knowledge
“We are confident that the virtual course, available globally presented by industry leading figures, fills the void resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The virtual course will be presented by specialists from across the sector from operators, contractors, and technology system suppliers, many of whom are recognised Technical Authorities (TA). The course fee for SUT members is £715 and £845 for non-members (excluding VAT where chargeable). It is CPD approved. Registration for the virtual SAC is at https://www.sut.org/virtual-subsea-awareness-course/
Two other SUT virtual SACs are currently under development, one for the offshore wind industry and the second for the insurance industry. Both will be launched in the next few months.
SUT’s Houston and Perth (Australia) branches also run SAC face-to-face courses dates and details are available on the SUT’s website at www.sut.org
