Busy period at FORCE

General Tidal

FORCE expects periods of marine activity to continue until mid October, including barge anchoring, cable recovery, and test mooring trials, at locations including the Parrsboro wharf, West Bay, and the FORCE site in the Minas Passage.

This exercise is related to the FAST underwater monitoring platforms, supporting our ongoing work to better understand the environmental conditions at the FORCE site.

The barge may exit and return to its berth at the Parrsboro wharf a number of times during this period. For safety and logistical reasons, the Parrsboro wharf may be closed for short defined periods during the operation. Any closures or other notices will be posted. FORCE is working with all wharf users in an effort to minimize disruption to routine activities.

Earlier this month Atlantis and DP Energy entered into a sale and purchase agreement for the sale of a 50% interest in Atlantis's wholly owned subsidiary, Atlantis Operations (Canada) Limited ("AOCL"). AOCL is the lease holder of a berth at the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE) in Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy, and beneficiary of a grant of up to $5 million (Canadian) from Sustainable Development Technology Canada for installation of a tidal stream project at the site. The joint venture aims to develop a multi-turbine array at the FORCE facility in Nova Scotia, Canada.

FORCE is Canada’s leading test centre for in-stream tidal energy technology. The Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy allows developers to set up demonstration projects in the Nova Scotia area. This in turn will help the development and progression of full scaled commercial sites. For more information about FORCE please follow the links provided.
