It was approx. 50 participants at the gathering in Bergen. The first part of the program focused on the SFIs’ activities, but there was also a push towards new activities and needs from the industry. Aanderaa (Xylem) and Bouvet gave good input on measurement technology, data analysis and presentation. We then received very useful and concrete descriptions of the challenges various industries have linked to development, operation and maintenance. Odfjell Oceanwind presented its investment in offshore wind with challenges related to floating installations with increasingly large turbines. Adepth Minerals held an exciting lecture on completely new opportunities for extracting rare minerals from the seabed, and Equinor shared its thoughts on CO2 storage in reservoirs, but also presented challenges related to the entire value chain. We also received very specific wishes and needs from the aquaculture industry represented at Bremnes Seashore. They want wireless sensors that have the least possible impact on operations and the fish’s environment, while larger constructions and closed facilities require even more sensors to ensure optimal growth conditions.
