Celebrating a Year at Sea: Introducing the BlueX Cocktail

In the vast expanse of the ocean's embrace, innovation and endurance merge to harness the power of the waves. We at Blackfish Engineering are thrilled to celebrate a significant milestone: the successful 12-month ocean deployment of the wave energy device, BlueX. Developed by our esteemed client, Mocean Energy, BlueX represents a monumental leap forward in renewable energy, capturing the untamed essence of the sea to power our future.

As we reflect on this journey, we are inspired not just by the technological triumph but also by the spirit of collaboration and relentless pursuit of sustainability that brought us to this point. To commemorate this achievement, we've crafted a special cocktail that encapsulates the essence of BlueX and the boundless energy of the ocean. We're proud to introduce the BlueX Cocktail, a refreshing and visually captivating drink that mirrors the innovative spirit and the vibrant energy of the seas.
