CS WIND Offshore has delivered the first transition pieces for Vattenfall's 980 MW Nordlicht I offshore wind farm, marking the start of foundation deliveries for one of Germany's largest offshore wind developments.
Smurfit Westrock's mill in Piteå is the largest kraftliner facility in Europe, with an annual production capacity of 700,000 tonnes of unbleached and white-top kraftliner.

Researchers head to Greenland for ambitious science mission

An international team is collecting observations to understand how a melting Greenland is affecting ocean currents, which could cause weather change in UK and Europe

Digital twins in the Arctic: How Svalbard is becoming a living lab for marine restoration

A new tool is helping researchers simulate erosion and climate change, turning data into action.

Ancient river landscapes discovered beneath East Antarctica

A team of scientists have uncovered the hidden remains of a vast ancient coastal plain beneath East Antarctica – an important discovery that could refine forecasts of future global sea level rise.

Underwater robotic gliders provide new insights into the impact of a melting megaberg

For the first time, scientists have collected measurements close to a giant iceberg, giving an unprecedented window into the impact of meltwater on the surrounding Southern Ocean and ecosystem.

Declining Antarctic sea ice generating more ocean heat loss and storms

A new study shows that the ongoing decline in Antarctic sea ice is leading to more heat loss from the ocean to the atmosphere and an increase in storm activity.

Southern Ocean absorbing more CO₂ than previously thought, study finds

New research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) has found that the Southern Ocean absorbs more carbon dioxide (CO2) than previously thought.

Unique coral found in deep Arctic Ocean is “almost certainly a new species”

In the bitterly cold waters of the Arctic Ocean, scientists have discovered a strange and unique coral that’s “almost certainly a new species.”

Giant rogue waves: Southern Ocean expedition reveals wind as key cause

A rogue wave is a single swell that is much higher than nearby waves, which can damage ships or coastal infrastructure.

Ocean currents threaten to collapse Antarctic ice shelves, study finds

The Pine Island and Thwaites ice shelves are among the fastest-changing in Antarctica and are of particular interest due to their vulnerability to warming ocean waters. They act as massive barriers restraining the glaciers behind them from flowing into the ocean.

Bureau Veritas and Ponant advance polar safety research

The SAREX took place in September 2023 near Hershel Island, off the coast of Yukon, Canada. BV oversaw proceedings as US and Canadian search and rescue teams conducted the exercise aboard PONANT’s polar exploration cruise ship Le Commandant Charcot.

Underwater robot finds new circulation pattern in Antarctic ice shelf

Equipped with thrusters, cameras, sonar and sensors for measuring water temperature, pressure and salinity, the vehicle climbed nearly 150 feet up one slope and descended the other.

A warmer Arctic Ocean leads to more snowfall further south, according to new model

With the Arctic Ocean being twice as sensitive to rapid warming than the global average, evaporation and subsequent changes to the hydrological cycle over northern Eurasia will become even more pronounced in the years to come.
