A modular decision support system developed by Amarcon BV for avoiding dangerous situations in adverse weather and sea conditions.

The largest solar furnace located in France, opened in 1970.

An OEM (original equipment manufacturer) is generally perceived as a company that designs and manufactures engines and spare parts for those engines.

Energy-generating systems that are not interconnected directly into an electrical grid.

One of the certificated members of the ship staff who under the master authority assist him in navigation and operation of the vessel.

The person responsible for safe navigating, operating of the bridge equipment and manoeuvring of the ship.

A booklet containing measurements, which are, taken from a faired lines plan to give the coordinates according to which the curved lines representing the hull must be drawn.

A term used for the co-ordinates of a ship form, deck heights, etc.

Industrial activity at sea, e.g. drilling and pumping at an oil or gas well.

Accomodation units for operation and maintenance teams to live at wind farms that are a long distance from shore based service centers.

Designed by Wärtsilä Ship Design, an offshore construction vessel NORMAND INSTALLER was built in 2006 by Ulstein for the Norwegian offshore company Solstad Offshore ASA and the Swiss-based company Single Buoy Moorings Inc (SBM).

Offshore drilling is a mechanical process where a wellbore is drilled below the seabed.

Depending of water depths, fixed or floating installations are used for offshore oil and gas production.

During the past decades the offshore oil and gas industries have expanded tremendously, which has led to ever increasing demand for offshore support vessels (OSVs)...

Any floating offshore structure (including vessels and barges), designed for operating afloat or supported by seabed.

Wind farms that are constructed in the worlds oceans. Offshore wind farms are more expensive to construct, have less of a visual impact but have higer wind speeds and more consistent wind.

Off-the-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. Off-the-grid living allows for buildings and people to be self-sufficient.

An ohmic contact is a non-rectifying electrical junction: a junction between two conductors that has a linear current–voltage (I-V) curve as with Ohm's law.

An ohmmeter is an electrical instrument that measures electrical resistance (the opposition offered by a substance to the flow of electric current).

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
