🌊 Innovating for a blue future

Last week we had the pleasure of participating in BlueInvest Day 2026 in Brussels — one of Europe’s leading events connecting ocean innovators, investors, and industry leaders working to accelerate the blue economy.

Over two inspiring days at the Royal Library of Belgium, we joined discussions on the next wave of ocean innovation — from ocean tech and marine bioresources to solutions strengthening ocean resilience.
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to be part of this event, connect with forward-thinking investors and partners, and exchange ideas on how we can collectively advance sustainable ocean solutions.
Thank you to the organisers and everyone we had the chance to meet.

We look forward to continuing the conversations and collaborations that support a healthier ocean and a stronger blue economy. 🌍

We’re proud to share some exciting news!

OceanFront has been awarded a contract extension with Bærum kommune to continue our important work in combating ghost fishing gear along the coastline.
This extension strengthens our shared commitment to protecting marine life, preserving local ecosystems, and keeping our fjords clean and safe. Ghost gear poses a silent but serious threat to the ocean environment, and we’re grateful for the continued trust from Bærum kommune as we work to identify, remove, and prevent this form of marine pollution.

A big thank you to everyone involved—our dedicated team, our partners, and the municipality—for supporting this mission. Together, we’re making a real difference.

Onwards with cleaner and healthier oceans! 🌊💙

What a fantastic week in San Francisco, focusing on the future of our oceans! 🌊

OceanFront was privileged to be part of two incredible events:

Wednesday: We took a deep dive into green maritime technologies with Innovasjon Norge and attended a great reception hosted by the Royal Norwegian Consulate General, San Francisco—held aboard the iconic Norwegian tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl. We were proud to present our Natural Seabed Concept alongside three other outstanding Norwegian innovators: Zinus, Pascal Technologies, and Evoy.

A massive thank you to everyone involved, especially Innovation Norway Americas and Sharon Røe, for hosting and bringing this vital conversation to life!

Thursday: The momentum continued at the Sustainable Ocean Solutions (SOS) Summit. This event brought together an incredible network of changemakers—including leading scientists, policymakers, investors, and innovators—all working toward a more sustainable future.

Our sincere gratitude to Sustainable Ocean Solutions (SOS), Kristin Odfjell, and Johan Odvar Odfjell for hosting a powerful and inspiring summit.

We also held workshops with the Port of Portland, the Port of San Francisco, and the Port of San Diego. The collaborations and insights gained are truly invaluable.

Let’s keep working together to protect and sustainably manage our oceans!

Trash outside the office? Not on our watch. 😎

Together with DNV we cleaned up the coastline right outside their headquarters in Høvik. From steel cables to a rusted anchor and even a scooter—it’s now gone.

Big thanks to DNV for turning environmental responsibility into action! 💚

Oppryddingen på sjøbunnen i indre havnbasseng fortsetter

På oppdrag fra Bymiljøetaten og Oslo Havn gjennomførte Oceanfront i fjor vår og sommer en omfattende oppryding på sjøbunnen i Oslo havn. Store mengder marint avfall ble fjernet langs kaiene i indre havnebasseng.

Bymiljøetaten har fått støtte fra Handelens Miljøfond til å fortsette oppryddingen i en periode på 2-3 uker denne våren.

Oslo Havn bistår med kaiplass og organisering av avfallshåndteringen gjennom vår rammeavtale med Stena Recycling.

Arbeidet fokuserer på områder som tidligere har blitt ryddet, for å fjerne resterende avfall og vurdere tilfanget siden sist. Med spesialfartøyet ESEA Pioneer jobber OceanFront seg systematisk fra Rådhuskaia mot Sjursøya, og vil også ta en runde ved Filipstadkaia hvis tiden tillater det.

Prosjektet har allerede fjernet store mengder avfall, inkludert bildekk, elektronikk og andre gjenstander som har ligget på sjøbunnen i lang tid. Dette initiativet er et viktig skritt mot å redusere mikroplast og miljøgifter i fjorden, og bidrar til et renere og sunnere havnemiljø.

Last week, OceanFront had the opportunity to visit key ports along the U.S. West Coast, including The Port of San Francisco, Port of San Diego, Port of Long Beach, Port of Los Angeles, Port of Seattle, Port of Bellingham, and Port of Everett. A big thank you to the ports for their hospitality and valuable discussions—and for making it happen. Sustainability 🌱 was high on the agenda, with a strong focus on reducing emissions and transitioning to greener operations.

A lot of attention is rightfully given to reducing emissions and tackling pollution on the surface, but what lies beneath the surface also matters. Seabed pollution, lost fishing gear 🎣, and underwater debris can have long-term impacts on marine ecosystems and pose risks to port operations. Clearing these obstacles not only improves environmental conditions but also enhances safety 🚢 for vessels, infrastructure, and marine life 🐙.

We had insightful discussions 💬 with port representatives about the importance of addressing the challenges hidden beneath the waterline. It was inspiring to see their commitment to sustainability 🌍 and safer maritime environments, and we look forward to turning these discussions into action.

Seabed pollution is not just a local problem—it’s a global challenge affecting ports and marine environments in every ocean. Because in the end, a clean ocean starts from the bottom up. 🌊♻️
