Damen Shipyards Group has announced its latest concept design: the Damen Decommissioning Series. The vessel will specialise in three core areas of the oil and gas decommissioning sector: topside decommissioning offshore platform removal, and subsea cleaning and removal. The design is based on in-house research carried out at Damen by one of its undergraduate interns.

Shell Australia has awarded DOF Subsea a five-year contract with 2x two year options to provide a fulltime underwater services and multi-purpose supply vessel (MPSV) to the Prelude FLNG facility. Prelude FLNG, the largest floating facility ever built, will produce, liquefy, store and transfer LNG at sea. The facility will be located in Western Australia.

Bibby Offshore, a leading subsea services provider to the oil and gas industry, has announced a multimillion pound contract win with an independent UK-based E&P company, to provide air diving, and ROV inspection and construction services across five of its North Sea assets.

Subsea training facility, The Underwater Centre, has introduced a new hydraulics course which will provide candidates an introduction to fluid power systems. The Underwater Centre has developed the course to give candidates an introduction to the principles of fluid mechanics and provide hands-on experience using the Centre’s new training equipment.

Years before the advent of modern scuba gear in the 1940s, bridge builders and underwater construction workers labored in large, watertight, high-pressure chambers known as "caissons" -- dive bells that enabled the creation of iconic American structures such as the Brooklyn Bridge. But, some of those workers returned to the surface feeling sick, achy, in shock or worse.

An Italian Navy diving unit known as Gruppo Operativo Subacquei (GOS) has discovered the wreck of a vessel from the Battle of Genoa in 1795. The battle is known in part as the first major naval engagement for then-Captain Horatio Nelson, who helped take a large French warship out of the fight – the Ça Ira, an 80-gun ship of the line nearly twice the size of Nelson's HMS Agamemnon.

The crew of the Exploration Vessel Nautilus has posted a YouTube video of their discovery of a mysterious purple orb-shaped creature living very near the bottom of the Pacific Ocean not far off the coast of Los Angeles. In addition to footage of the creature, the researchers can be heard making observations and engaging in a discussion about whether or not to capture it and bring it aboard for further study.

The blue hole discovered in the South China Sea has been confirmed to be the world’s deepest underwater sinkhole, surpassing the one in the Bahamas by almost 100 meters.

Aerial drones dominate the skies, offering majestic bird's-eye-view vistas, but the 'Remote Operated Vehicle' concept from designer Ron Ferencz gives consumers an equally awe-inspiring perspective: underwater. The Remote Operated Vehicle, or ROV, is a camera-mounted aquatic drone that could take over the waters the way that aerial drones have taken over the skies.

The once-ribbing term "four-eyes" now secures a coolness factor, thanks to a team of Navy engineers who have developed a high-resolution, see-through, heads-up display embedded directly inside a KM-37 Navy dive helmet to keep its users safer, more efficient and more effective underwater.

Due to the diverse environments and niche missions they are tasked with, operators within the US Special Forces community receive the most innovative gadgetry the military has to offer.

Detailed study by Miko has resulted in a system that uses specially formulated rubber patches that are slid over a leak and held in place by ratchet straps. The kits can be used to seal leaks in pipes ranging from 2-inches to 20-inches in diameter and can cover holes up to 1-inch across.

EPA enforcement is becoming a more prevalent issue for vessels importing into the U.S. This has been in the regulations for a while but has rarely been enforced. Before a few weeks ago we had only been asked two or three times in 15 years for the EPA conformity of the engines in a boat. Within the last month U.S. Customs and Border Protection has started requesting this on a regular basis and in Miami, Customs is requiring the WPA 3520-21 Engine declaration form be submitted at the time the importation is filed or they will not accept the entry.
