This document outlines proposals for 4 technology platforms related to ocean observation, engineering, and development. Platform 1 focuses on ocean monitoring, control, and surveillance technologies for risk governance, including low-cost buoys, computational models, autonomous platforms, image processing, satellites, and unmanned vehicles. Platform 2 covers subsea ocean technologies like landers, robotic systems, autonomous underwater vehicles, mooring ropes, computational fluid dynamics applications, and inspection solutions. Platform 3 involves surface ocean technologies for industries like offshore wind, wave energy, autonomous platforms, support vessels, ship repair automation, and topside modules for oil and gas. Platform 4 addresses port technologies and systems such as logistic software, introducing natural gas
