Both IME and Fundy Tidal will form and manage the project team to work with Dutch-based tidal turbine producer Tocardo International BV to commission to project, which may include the installation of up to 16 of Tocardo's T200 turbines and the design and development of a floating barge platform to house them.

Tribute intends to develop all further tidal power projects within IME, which is a wholly owned subsidiary. IME has been funded by a cash share contribution of $1 million from Tribute.
