Key Services Provided by C & C Technologies:

Geophysical Survey: This includes collecting and analyzing data about the physical properties of the seabed and sub-seafloor to support offshore exploration and development projects.

Geotechnical Survey: These services involve the acquisition and interpretation of soil and rock properties to assess their suitability for offshore construction and installation.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs): C & C Technologies is known for pioneering the commercial use of AUVs for deepwater surveys, which offer high-resolution data collection capability in deepwater and challenging environments.

Marine Construction Support: The company provides a range of support services for marine construction, including precise positioning and navigation during installation of subsea infrastructure.

Environmental Services: This includes environmental impact assessments and monitoring to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Hydrographic Surveying: This service is used to map water bodies, providing essential data for navigation, dredging, and coastal development projects.

Technological Innovations:

One of the standout aspects of C & C Technologies is its role in advancing the use of AUV technology for commercial applications. Their AUVs are equipped with sophisticated sonar and other sensors, allowing for detailed mapping and data collection in deepwater environments where traditional methods may be less effective.

Acquisition by Oceaneering International, Inc.

In 2015, C & C Technologies was acquired by Oceaneering International, Inc., a company specializing in engineered services and products for the offshore oil and gas industry, among other sectors. The acquisition allowed Oceaneering to expand its capabilities in survey and positioning services and integrate C & C Technologies' advanced AUV capabilities into its service offerings.

With the backing of Oceaneering, C & C Technologies continues to push the boundaries of maritime survey technologies and provides critical data and support for a range of offshore projects around the globe.

BHP Signs Charter Contracts with COSCO for Two Ammonia Dual-Fueled Vessels

4 days ago

Australia’s BHP Group has signed contracts with COSCO Shipping Bulk, a subsidiary of COSCO Shipping, for the charter of two ammonia dual-fueled Newcastlemax bulk carriers.The new vessels to be built under the arrangement will be two of only a handful of vessels in the world capable of using ammonia as a marine fuel.The two vessels, expected to be delivered from 2028, will primarily transport iron ore from Western Australia to Northeast Asia.When run on lower or low to zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ammonia, these vessels will be capable of reducing GHG emissions by at least 50% and up to 95% on a per voyage basis compared to a conventionally fueled voyage, according to BHP.

ESG Wins Bid to Build Washington State Hybrid Electric Ferries

4 days ago

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson announced he has selected the $714.5 million bid from Florida-based Eastern Shipbuilding Group to build three new 160-vehicle hybrid-electric ferries. “We’re restoring domestic service to pre-pandemic levels years ahead of schedule, improving crew retention, and soon will bring our first hybrid-electric vessel into service,” Governor Ferguson said. “After careful consideration and conversations with legislative leaders, I believe Eastern is the best option to build these critically important vessels at a fair cost to our taxpayers.
