ECA Scoops EUR10 Mln in Contracts

ECA Group, a Groupe Gorgé subsidiary, has recently won two export contracts valued at more than €10 million for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV).

For the first contract, the company informed that its customer exercised an option for two additional Inspector Mk2-type USVs after ordering two in early 2014.

Inspector Mk2 is an 8.5m-long USV. Operated by a small team, remotely or completely autonomously, this platform can perform several missions in territorial and inland waters.

Furthermore, ECA Group signed a contract of several million euros to supply two comprehensive systems for the identification and neutralization of underwater mines. These systems will be implemented on a partner’s USVs.

The latter will then deliver them to an Asian navy in 2016 and 2017.

Design, construction and installation

Optimising offshore substructures is one of the key challenges for reducing LCOE. Foundation designers have produced a variety of different solutions: monopiles, GBS, jackets, suction buckets and floating foundations. Looking at U.K. projects – different soils, water depths,fabrication timelines and installation challengescreate many questions for the industry to solve. We’re entering uncharted territory; projects arelarger, farther and more complex than ever completed.

Now is the time to have a close look at lessons learnt and define the room for improvement for the U.K. wind industry.
