Hong Kong – December 4, 2024 – The 4th World Conference on Floating Solutions (WCFS 2024), successfully took place from December 2 to 4 at Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

This conference, initiated by Singapore, is a leading global academic event in the field of floating solutions. It brought together international experts, scholars, and industry representatives to showcase cutting-edge research and discuss future prospects and collaboration opportunities in the industry.

Henry Han, Managing Director of Hann-Ocean Technology, presented a research paper titled "Wave Tank Model Testing Analysis for Lindeman Island Floating Jetty". The study examined the hydrodynamic behavior of floating structures in shallow water wave environment, offering vital insights into the design and application of such platforms. The presentation was widely praised by experts and highlighted Hann-Ocean’s commitment to advancing sustainable floating solutions.

“The exchange of ideas at WCFS 2024 has not only deepened technical understanding but also opened up opportunities for future collaborations,” said Mr Han.

On the final day of the conference, participants toured an offshore floating fish farm demonstration project, funded by the local government. This initiative aims to modernize marine aquaculture while aligning with global trends in ocean farming technology. Mr Han emphasized the potential of integrating wave energy technologies into such platforms to provide sustainable power for marine farming, thus enhancing their intelligence and environmental performance.

The successful conclusion of WCFS 2024 has provided fresh momentum for the development of floating solutions and wave energy technologies worldwide. The event fostered deeper collaboration between academia and industry, offering new directions and opportunities for the advancement of sustainable marine technology. As floating technologies continue to merge with renewable energy applications, further breakthroughs are expected in addressing climate change and promoting the sustainable use of resources.
