Physical meeting in Nantes

Interesting lab tour at Université Gustave Eiffel in Nantes, France. Our team gathered in beautiful Nantes, France, for a highly productive in‑person meeting. The discussions were inspiring and helped drive the project forward in several important areas. Cable Testing at UGE At UGE, extensive bending and mechanical tests have been performed on the NKT cable. The goal is to understand how the cable behaves under stress and whether any internal components are affected. While th

Coating Trials Underway at Kristineberg – Sustainable Antifouling Solutions Put to the Test

Picture from the deployment in the ocean of dynamic testing. We’re excited to announce that test panels have now been deployed at Kristineberg Marine Research Station on the Swedish west coast as part of the SEASNAKE+ project, targeting sustainable biofouling control for offshore renewable energy (ORE) systems. The test campaign includes both static and dynamic antifouling evaluations: Static tests of feature coatings applied to Plexiglas samples; a nearshore testing of a sur

Hello everyone! Here we are with the first periodic update on our project. We are making great progress and would like to share the latest news with you. The project in a nutshell The project focuses on an antifouling system scale up with novel application chamber reducing the curing time and make possible up-scale of cable production with antifouling on the outer jacket. Three major advances characterize the project: new antifouling coatings transitioned to a thinner more fl
