Waveroller Deployment (2008)
Operational context
Deployment of a second WaveRoller unit in Peniche, including lifting operations, towing and nearshore installation support.
Divexpro supported the deployment of a second WaveRoller unit in Peniche, Portugal, as part of the early-stage development of wave energy systems.
The operation involved heavy lifting using crane equipment, controlled loading procedures and marine logistics to safely transfer the unit from land to water.
Following deployment, the unit was towed to the installation area using inflatable support vessels, requiring precise coordination and real-time adaptation to sea conditions.
The work combined lifting operations, vessel handling and nearshore marine execution, contributing to the practical implementation of wave energy technology in Portugal.
