58 st / November 2016 www.sea-technology.com Spray LP to Develop Petit Passage Tidal Project Tribute Resources Inc. announced the acquisition of a 0.9-MW tidal de- velopment project located at Petit Passage in Nova Scotia, Canada. The Fundy Tidal Board of Directors has approved the transfer of the Petit Pas- sage and Grand Passage Community Feed-in Tariffs, or COMFITs, (1 MW) to Spray Tidal Limited Partnership (Spray LP) in consideration for $500,000 of preferred units in the Spray LP. Fundy shareholders will have the option to invest up to an additional $1 million of funds into the equity of the project. The transfer of the COMFITs is subject to regulatory approval. The Petit Passage tidal project is a contracted development stage tidal energy project located between Digby Neck and Long Island in Digby Coun- ty, Nova Scotia. It will be developed and owned by the Spray LP. Tocardo tidal turbine technology will be tested at the site in late 2017 or early 2018. The Petit Passage project has a 20-year power purchase contract with Nova Scotia Power Inc. to sell tidal power at a price of $0.65 per kilowatt hour. JFMS Partners with OMS for Offshore Renewable Services James Fisher Marine Services (JFMS) has signed an exclusive coop- eration agreement with Oil Manage- ment and Services GmbH (OMS) to offer significant benefits to customers in the European offshore renewables industry with the delivery of full oil life cycle services, including gearbox and hydraulic oil change, enhancing the safety and performance of off- shore wind turbines. JFMS and OMS will jointly promote James Fisher's innovative Ship-to-Tur- bine (STT) oil exchange system for the direct extraction and refill of offshore wind gearbox oils directly from a con- ventional access vessel. This agreement will also enable James Fisher and OMS to offer a broad- er range of complementary services to support asset management, includ- ing diving and ROV services, offshore equipment rental and James Fisher's in- novative condition monitoring system, Mimic, with oil analysis reporting. New England Test Sites For Tidal Power The New England Marine Renew- able Energy Collaborative (MRECo) is collaborating with local communi- ties to develop tidal power test sites. Working with the town of Edgartown and several universities, they are de- veloping a tidal power test site in the waters between Martha's Vineyard and Muskeget Island, and another test site is being set up in the Cape Cod Canal. The potential for tidal power is great, but the engineering and economics have a long way to go, especially in the U.S., accord- ing to MRECo. These test sites offer a cost-effective alternative to offshore testing. Statoil Extends Offshore Wind Involvement Statoil and Statkraft have signed a letter of intent for Statoil to take over as operator of the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm January 2017. marine renewables Sea Technology Buyers Guide/Directory Published since 1969, this comprehensive tool, including contact details, assists in the location of products and services of companies that have the answers.
