The funding, which will supplement investment by the company of £345,190, will enable SeaEnergy to undertake detailed design and tank testing for its X-Bow based vessel system.
SeaEnergy, an energy ventures company focused on oil and gas and renewables businesses, said it has worked closely with Scottish Enterprise over the past year-and-a-half to help deliver its growth plans.
According to a statement, this latest support is in addition to grants awarded in May 2010 from Scottish Enterprise Innovation Support Scheme, which have been received over the past year-and-a-half.
