European Commission Approves Construction for Orbital Marine Power Tidal Array

The European Commission has approved the construction of Orbital Marine Power's tidal array, a significant step in harnessing renewable energy from the sea.

This project, known as EURO-TIDES, will be the first of its kind in Europe and is expected to generate clean energy and create jobs in the marine renewable energy sector.

However, the direct impact on seafarers is currently unclear, as the project's focus is on energy production rather than shipping or maritime labor.
