SINTEF Ocean projects

Solving engineering challenges in global response analysis of subsea pipelines, umbilicals and power cables.

The FutureFarm strategic project aim to promote the development of methods and guidelines for robust design of fish farms with open net cages in exposed environments. Development of structural design methods includes new hydrodynamic load models...

The PRECISE project will develop technologies to enable Precision Fish Farming (PFF), a new technology-based approach to salmon farming derived from the agricultural concept of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF).

The climate is changing in the Arctic and projections by the IPCC suggests valuable marine resources are migrating further north. What does this mean for fishers, for tourists, for international politics and future communities in the far north, and...

ENTiCE is a three year project financed by the Research council of Norway in which SINTEF Fisheries and aquaculture, NTNU, Frøya High School, and the Scottish Association for Marine Science will implement and develop new technologies for studying the...

The Norwegian aquaculture industry has high accident numbers compared to other industries. There is a need for measures and systems that help improve safety and working conditions for workers.

SINTEF has started at cooperation with the company EVOLYS AS where the aim is to define the optimal light environment for microalgae production with focus on high value components like astaxanthin.

Different species of microalgae have different content of lipids and pigments. The species used in this study will be selected based on their chemical composition, to produce raw material for lotions and nutraceuticals for human consumption.

SINTEF is involved in projects concerning novel concepts and innovative solutions for ocean energy, such as DeepWind and FAROFF, supported by the European Union and the Research Council of Norway.
