NTNU Oceans, Ocean Autonomy Cluster and NOSCA Clean Oceans invite you to a day filled with ocean space technology on May 3. at Brattørkaia from 12.00 – 14.00 and inside Rockheim from 14.00 – 16.00 during the NTNU Ocean Week.

We start at Brattørkaia where we get demonstrations from technology companies solutions for how we can collect and detect rubbish in the sea and port areas.

After the demonstrations, we move into Rockheim for related lectures from companies and research institutions aimed at NOSCA’s value chain: Detection – Classification – Collection – Disposal

It is free to see the demonstrations on Brattørkaia from 12.00 – 14.00, but if you want to be part of the NTNU Ocean Week program and see the presentations inside Rockheim. You can buy tickets on this link: https://oceanweek2022.hoopla.no/sales/1231032277

Exhibitors from 12.00 – 14.00

• Clean Sea Solutions – Will demonstrate their Cleaning Drone, which is a USV (Unmanned surface vehicle). Developed in collaboration with Maritime Robotics.
• SpillTech – Will demonstrate their Port Bin which is a garbage collector used in ports and bays.
• Maritime Robotics – TBA
• eSea Marine – Will demonstrate the Natural Seabed-project. This is a crane that efficiently collects rubbish and scraps that lies on the seabed.
• OceanTech Innovation – Will demonstrate their Inspection Robot (RIT) which locates cracks in constructions underwater.

Shark Drunk is a film based on the book by Morten Strøksnes (Norwegian title Havboka), and masterfully turned into a theatre play by Ole Anders Tandberg.
Riksteateret has toured with the play, and in collaboration with Applaus Scene a film version was produced and released in 2020.
We now proudly present the brand-new English version of the harsh, beautiful and thought-provoking story about the shark and the fisherman – and about the crisis of our oceans.

Speakers: Kaja Lønne Fjærtoft (Passion for Ocean) and Monica Boracco (Applaus Scene)

Host: Siri Granum Carson
