Pilot in the City Fjords of Bergen?
A four-week pilot project with an unmanned vessel for water sampling in the city fjord of Bergen has marked a successful collaboration between the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) and Nordic USV.
?The focus was on assessing the amounts of particles released from water treatment facilities, and ambient hydrography. Four consecutive marine surveys with the USV were performed during January-February 2024 in the vicinity of the outfalls from the Holen and Ytre Sandviken sewage water treatment plants.
– We are very happy with the results thus far, and negotiations with industry and municipalities are on-going, to introduce them to the new technology says Senior Researcher in NIVA, Lars Golmen.
Will we See a Licensing Round for Seabed Minerals Exploration in Norway in 2024?
A large majority of the Norwegian parliament (Stortinget) approved to open for industrial actors to take part in seabed minerals activities earlier this year. The first phase will be exploration. If found environmentally, economically and socially acceptable, this can lead to seabed mining.
