Sustainable Marine’s Swift Anchor Division Provides Novel Solution for ORPC’s Advanced TidGen® Project
ORPC, a recognized leader in marine energy technology innovation and operational excellence, has engaged Sustainable Marine’s Swift Anchors division to provide its novel rock anchoring system for ORPC’s Advanced TidGen Project set to launch in Maine later this year.
With this project, Swift Anchors will be among a number of subsystems which ORPC will develop, test and integrate to validate a full TidGen system in a commercial site over 12 months, providing practical demonstration that it is technically, economically and environmentally viable. The U.S. Department of Energy is providing partial funding for the project.
