SAN DONATO MILANESE, ItalySaipem has signed a memorandum of understanding with Finnish company Wello OY on the latter’s WEC Penguin wave energy technology.

This is designed to allow a floating hull to transform the motion of ocean waves into energy through a rotator directly connected to a generator.

Saipem will apply its experience in harsh environment offshore projects and in naval engineering to optimize the installation procedure and operability of the technology.

In addition, it will investigate applications to the oil and gas industry, including offshore platforms, to improve their energy efficiency and reduce their environmental impact.
