The Green Volt project is a pioneering floating offshore wind farm being built in the North Sea, approximately 80 km off the coast of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is being developed by a joint venture between Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn. Key facts: Capacity: Up to 560 MW from 35 floating wind turbines. Why floating? Unlike traditional offshore wind farms fixed to the seabed, Green Volt’s turbines sit on floating platforms anchored to the seabed. This allows instal

BMS Design Ltd/ SubseaConnect is pleased to announce the successful commissioning of our new 20-tonne servo-controlled hydraulic fatigue testing system, developed to provide high-accuracy cyclic load testing for the certification and validation of mechanical components and assemblies. Designed for demanding engineering applications, the system is capable of performing over 5 million fully controlled fatigue cycles, making it suitable for long-duration endurance testing acros

The patented Bend Stiffener Latch Mechanism (BSLM) was originally developed to simplify the installation and removal of bend stiffeners in offshore applications, but the core technology has the potential to solve challenges across many industries. At the heart of the BSLM is a patented polyurethane finger arrangement that enables rapid connection and disconnection without complex mechanical moving parts. The result is a simple, robust and reliable quick-connect system that ca

We are delighted to announce that Polytech AS has signed a commercial agreement with CRP Subsea Ltd, the world's leading Bend Stiffener specialists, to promote and support our innovative Bend Stiffener Latching Mechanism (BSLM) across the offshore renewables and subsea markets. The BSLM is a patented, game-changing solution that eliminates the need for a dedicated receptacle, diver intervention, or ROV assistance. Designed for rapid offshore deployment, the system can be inst

Today marks a major milestone in the development of our next-generation Bend Stiffener latching mechanism, following a successful customer witness of the system’s full operational capability. During the demonstration, customers observed the complete latching and unlatching sequence of both the Bend Stiffener and cable release system, carried out seamlessly in a matter of seconds. The live operation validated the core design philosophy behind the mechanism: simplicity, speed,

A new, internationally patented bend stiffener latching mechanism is set to redefine reliability, simplicity, and cost efficiency in offshore cable and riser installations. Designed with no moving parts and engineered for a 30-year service life, the innovative mechanism delivers a step change in robustness, safety, and long-term performance for demanding offshore environments. Unlike conventional systems, this new design does not require a dedicated female receptacle. Instead
