After nearly four years of work, the AquaWind project, coordinated by the Canary Islands Agency for Research, Innovation and the Information Society (ACIISI), has demonstrated that, under real-world conditions, renewable energy production and aquaculture can not only coexist but also complement each other to optimize the use of the sea.
The prototype combining floating offshore wind and aquaculture is no longer just a concept; it is a physical reality in the Atlantic. Following this technological success, the next step is administrative. As indicated at the results presentation, the main bottleneck is no longer technical but regulatory and administrative, in addition to the need to strengthen public acceptance.

Scotland’s salmon industry has been given a big new lift following a key trade deal between the UK and the Middle East.
It follows a similar trade agreement with South Korea last December.
The industry trade body Salmon Scotland said the deal between the UK and the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) ensures permanent tariff-free access for UK goods to the United
Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, removing five per cent tariffs on some salmon exports. Scottish salmon exports to the region hit £6.5 million in 2025 with 670 tons.

Inmarsat Maritime has partnered with Argentinian technology provider Ingenieros Electrónicos Asociados (IEA) to deploy its NexusWave connectivity service across the fleet of fishing company Glaciar Pesquera.
The rollout is aimed at supporting Glaciar’s operational efficiency goals while also improving onboard welfare for crew working on long voyages.
NexusWave is a fully managed bonded multi-network service designed to provide secure, high-speed and unlimited connectivity at sea. According to the companies, the solution removes concerns around data overages and unpredictable communication costs, while improving network stability and operational reliability.

This sale represents a unique opportunity for buyers to purchase the UK’s first fully electric zero-commissions commercial landing utility vessel.
Gordon Brothers, the global asset experts, is offering for sale (by private treaty) a fully electric commercial landing utility vessel (E-LUV 2208) with an associated power storage system, on behalf of the joint administrators of Coastal Workboats Scotland Limited.
E-LUV 2208 has limited fit-out works remaining, presenting an opportunity for a buyer to complete the final build to suit their operational requirements.
The bay of Pasaia was the setting for the spectacular launch of the latest vessel from the Zamakona Shipyard. The ship, the Eidsvaag Atlas, was commissioned by a Norwegian shipping company and will be used to transport fish feed by sea, according to sources at the port of Pasaia. Representatives from the shipbuilding company, the Scandinavian shipping company, and the president of the Port Authority of Pasaia, Izaskun Goñi, participated in the launching ceremony at 6:30 p.m., which was attended by numerous onlookers and boating enthusiasts.
In addition to a significant portion of the suitable land in the five areas where floating wind farms can be located in Galicia, the Maritime Spatial Planning Plans (POEM) approved by the Government in February 2023 eliminated the possibility, present in the initial draft, of classifying these areas as "priority use" zones for offshore energy over other activities. They were reclassified as simply "high-potential" areas. "It has been very important to have the information, the input, and the participation of all public and private stakeholders."
