Taking advantage from the ONS offshore energy conference and the Nuart Street festival, both taken place in Stavanger (Norway) the shipowner Atlantic Offshore wanted to join the emerging artistic trends by allowing one of his vessels be painted by an international artist. This new vessel has christened with the name of “Ocean Art“. It’s…
Gorona del Viento El Hierro S.A. has been the company responsible of the development and operation of the project “Hydro-wind power plant of El Hierro”, thanks to which El Hierro will be the first electrically self-sufficient island using exclusively 100% renewable energy sources (wind and water). It is estimated that the annual savings in…
The C.N.P. Freire delivers one of the world’s most modern oceanographic investigation ships, the RRS Discovery, flagship of NERC and which is planned to operate in the National Oceanographic Centre (NOC). Alconza has delivered 4 propulsion motors for this ship. Abstract in Marine Engineering magazine
This ship, at the service of the Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, is considered to be one of the leading ships in marine archaeology, logistics and investigation tasks. Alconza has delivered 3 generators and 4 motors for diesel-electrical generation and propulsion. For more details, see the references factsheet. Russian ex-minister Dmitry Nedvedev was present…
