Iberdrola will promote floating offshore wind energy in Spain. If successful, this will be the first project of its kind on an industrial scale in Spain. The investment will exceed 1,000 million for the commissioning of 300 megawatts (MW) on the Spanish coast with turbines not anchored to the seabed. The forecast is that it will be operational in 2026, it would generate more than 2,800 jobs per year and would involve 66 technology centers and Spanish companies. Iberdrola considers that the project represents an opportunity to develop the value chain in the country and position the Spanish industry as an international benchmark. In addition, the energy company believes that this would be only the beginning, since it has identified the possibility of developing up to 2,000 MW of floating offshore wind power in the country (on the Galician, Andalusian ...
Navantia and Naviris join forces, the conglomerate that emerged from the merger of the Italian shipyard Fincantieri and the French Naval Group, and which constitutes one of the Spanish company’s biggest rivals in the disputed international market of the naval sector. The objective of this union is to collaborate in the design of the future European corvette, a multitasking ship that is expected to be completed in 2027 within the framework of the European Defense cooperation project (Pesco). Navantia and Naviris have expressed their alliance in a memorandum of understanding in which they state their intention to collaborate in the industrial development of the corvette. Four countries collaborate in this project, they are Spain, France, Greece and Italy. The objective is to design and develop a prototype of a new type of military ship that can carry out, from a ...
Naturgy and Enagás have developed a project to produce green hydrogen from a 250 MW floating offshore wind farm and a 100 MW onshore wind farm in Asturias. The project is listed as a candidate for a project of common European interest (IPCEI) and allows the generation of this green hydrogen taking advantage of native energy resources. The project includes the development of an electrolysis and renewable energy plant, for which the construction of both an onshore wind plant and an offshore wind plant on the Asturian coast is proposed. The latter will be built with floating technology developed by the UTE formed by Navantia and the Avilesina company Windar. This project will be able to generate more than 1,500 jobs in total in the construction and operation phases and, thanks to the estimated renewable electricity production, an initial emission ...
MAN Energy Solutions has won an order for 6 MAN B&W 11G95ME-GI Mk10.5 main engines in connection with the construction of 6 ultra-large 23,500TEU container ships for Hapag-Lloyd, one of the companies’ world leading ships of the line shipping. The engines will be built in Korea and will offer the option of running on LNG or conventional fuel, meeting emission standards. The first delivery of the engine is scheduled for May 2022. Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering will build the vessels and delivery is expected to take place from April to December 2023. The new construction will be deployed on the Europe – Far East routes as part of THE Alliance and will significantly increase Hapag-Lloyd’s competitiveness in this trade. The engines will run on LNG, but will have enough tank capacity to alternately run on conventional fuel. ...
