Testing and Research on biological and organic processes 4 An OffshoreVäst initiative - offshorevast.se SSPA Test Tank Unique Offer SSPA offers facilities for hydrodynamic testing and extensive experience in hydrodynamic The easily accessible waters around design. SSPA can be of assistance for initial and Orust offer testing opportunities in mild testing and evaluation as well as design climates in regards to waves and currents optimization for devices in the upper which, compared to other international development levels. Offer includes: test sites is unique. The conditions around Skagerrak are attractive for testing of • Towing tank components and systems, energy technology • Maritime Dynamics Laboratory The Swedish for areas with lower energy flows, and scale • Cavitation tank prototypes for areas with high energy flows. Maritime Strategy Islandsberg Test Site MARINET II A site continously developed since 2004 SSPA and Islandsberg is part of the H2020 funded for experiments on renewable electricity ”A competitive, innovative and sustainable Marinet II network. This offers ocean energy from the waves and environmental studies. maritime sector can contribute to increased developers access to testing from all over Europe. Islandsberg provides a depth of 25–30 meters, employment, reduced environmental impact a flat sandy bottom, marine switchgear and an attractive living environment.” (AC/DC/AC) connected to the power grid, The Facilities power cables, netcables and singal cables, Mikael Damberg camera surveillance, wave measurement and Minister for Enterprise and Innovation Kristineberg Test Site & Laboratory also a measuring station on land.
