Ocean Autonomy Cluster

Hi all! We are starting a "dugnad" to bring the entire OpenBridge design guideline into web components. We believe the value of OpenBridge will grow exponentially with a high-quality, comprehensive code library for all the content we have produced and are releasing in the upcoming OpenBridge 6.0. This include all UI components, and all of the specialized content such as automation, propulsion, SA support, navigation and much much more. It will most likely be the largest open source repository of maritime user interface components in existence. To achieve this, we are launching a Joint Industry Project (JIP), enabling industry partners to contribute to financing the resources needed. Companies that join the JIP will have direct access to the work as it progresses. To incentivize participation, there will be a 12-month embargo on the code before it is released as open source. We have already secured the minimum industry funding needed to start the project, and coding begins this week. However, we are still seeking support from companies that wish to participate—whether to address their internal development needs or to help the industry accelerate faster toward open user interfaces and safer maritime operations. If you want to support open innovation in maritime workplaces, please consider joining this initiative. You can also help us by spreading the word—share, comment, or forward this post to relevant contacts. Joining the JIP is a small step for any company but a huge leap for maritime transformation. 😉 👉 Click here to read more about the proposition. https://lnkd.in/gRYJyaya 👉 Click here to register your interest in the form.

Et imponerende lag med syvendeklassinger fra Nidarvoll skole i Trondheim, Nidarvoll SeaGMA, har sikret seg plass i verdensfinalen i FIRST LEGO LEAGUE CHALLENGE i Houston, USA. Og det regner vi med at du har lyst til å lese mer om her! #lakselus #fiskevelferd

Check out our collaboration with our highly regarded partner, Fjord CleanUP, alongside Allott.org and Bymiljøetaten in Oslo kommune, as we work together to clean up the inner Oslofjord. Read more in the local newspaper VårtOslo. https://lnkd.in/gQ-wbaMv Some highlights in English: A smart solution at the floating dock in Bjørvika captures large amounts of waste—emptied every week. The Oslofjord sees large amounts of waste every day, but a new type of pod might be part of the solution for the future. A newly deployed pod, permanently attached to a floating dock near the Oslo Opera House, continuously collects water and waste throughout the day. The Aquapod is designed for the continuous collection of surface waste near shores, marinas, and urban coastal areas where people live, gather, and where waste is generated. It even includes a camera that monitors everything it collects, providing us with valuable data to analyze what and how much waste is being captured. Fjord CleanUP handles the weekly task of emptying the pod. "We’ve been cleaning up in Oslo for about eight years and empty the pod every week, year-round," says Tomas Lars Hansson, founder of Fjord CleanUP. The Aquapod can be easily mounted on any standard floating dock. Positioned where waste naturally accumulates, the Aquapod is making a difference in our fight against pollution. "The technology is fantastic, but it’s crucial that it is regularly emptied for it to work," says Hansson, who is also an active volunteer working to clean Oslo’s seabeds. "It’s a very innovative initiative, and I believe it will make a big impact on Oslo’s environment if we deploy more of them," Hansson adds. "We don’t just find plastic and waste, but also needles, which pose a risk to both animals and people," says operations leader Krzysiek Mucha. The waste collected by Fjord CleanUP is picked up by NG Group, and they do it for free, which is critical for the initiative.  

To the World Finals: Nidarvoll Students Develop UAV to Combat Sea Lice An impressive team of seventh-graders from Nidarvoll School in Trondheim, Nidarvoll SeaGMA, has secured a spot in the world finals of the FIRST LEGO LEAGUE CHALLENGE in Houston, USA. This year’s theme, "Submerged," inspired the team to focus on one of the most critical issues in Norwegian aquaculture – sea lice. Sea lice have long been a significant threat to wild salmon populations, and so far, no effective solutions have been found. Nidarvoll SeaGMA's response is an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) equipped with blue laser technology, designed to remove sea lice directly from wild salmon. This innovative technology could revolutionize the fight against sea lice while simultaneously protecting both farmed and wild salmon populations. To develop and validate the solution, the students have worked closely with some of the leading players in aquaculture and technology, including SINTEF, Stingray, Nova Sea AS, SalMar, SeaSalmon, NTNU, Eelume AS, and Havforskningsinstituttet. Ocean Autonomy Cluster, NCE Aquatech Cluster and FI - Fremtidens Industri congratulate Nidarvoll SeaGMA on their achievements so far and wish them the best of luck in Houston. We are proud to see the next generation of engineers and innovators step into the world with solutions that can contribute to a more sustainable future for aquaculture.

Vi har nå gleden av å ønske Yngvild Bakken Furunes velkommen på laget som prosjektkoordinator i Fremtidens Industri. Yngvild har nylig fullført en master i Fysisk planlegging ved NTNU, og har tidligere en bachelor i Samfunnsplanlegging og kommunikasjon og master i Innovasjon og kunnskapsutvikling fra Universitetet i Agder (UiA). Hun har også studert planning and human geography ved Leeds Beckett University og sosialt entreprenørskap ved Universitetet i Oslo (UiO) med praksis hos University of Cape Town. Under studiene ved UiA jobbet hun på karrieresenter med å koble studenter og næringsliv sammen, samt i inkubator for studenter med forretningsideer. Hun har også erfaring som trainee i innovasjonsselskapet Egga Utvikling der hun blant annet jobbet i klyngen Marine Recycling Cluster og jobbet med reguleringsplaner ved Byplankontoret i Trondheim kommune. I FI skal hun jobbe innenfor havrom og bidra i arbeidet med klyngene. Yngvild begynte i stillingen 6. januar.

NATO Seeks Input on Maritime Autonomous Systems NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) with reference number ACT SACT 25-07. The purpose is to gather industry input on maritime autonomous systems for operations in surface, underwater, and air domains. The RFI is part of NATO’s efforts to enhance the alliance’s ability to address future security challenges. The submission deadline is January 24, 2025, at 09:00 EST. Interested parties are encouraged to review the detailed RFI and follow the submission guidelines on NATO’s official website.

I KVELD SKJER DET: NY SATELLITT SKAL STYRKE NORSK HAVOVERVÅKING Tirsdag kveld presis klokka 1949 skytes Kystverkets nyeste satellitt, NorSat-4, opp i bane rundt jorda. Satellitten skal bidra til å opprettholde Norges evne til havovervåking for trygg skipstrafikk i norske farvann. Videoen viser en modell i full størrelse. Oppskytingen kan følges direkte: https://lnkd.in/gCgq6f-M Med i nyttelasten på satellitten er to eksperimentelle enheter, eid av Forsvaret - Norwegian Armed Forces, som, om de fungerer vil kunne hjelpe oss å avdekke skip som skrur av sin AIS for ikke å bli funnet. Les mer om Norsat-4 og vårt romprogram for havovervåkning: https://lnkd.in/ddtxXP5H Norsat-4 er realisert i samarbeid med Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt - FFI og Norwegian Space Agency Finn frem popcorn og vær klar fra 1945. Det er ikke hver dag en Kystverk-satellitt går til himmels! Del gjerne.
