Marine Operations DynOps utilises 4Subsea’s 4Insight data sharing platform to support decision-making based on analytics and reduce operational inefficiencies. It enables ship operators to use vessel sensors, motion sensors and GPS data in conjunction with weather forecasts to predict how a ship will react to the environment up to a week in advance.
An unnamed shipping operator will use the service in its operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf to mitigate challenges posed by the region’s harsh environments.
DynOps combines live vessel response data and weather forecasts with advanced analytics to predict vessel operability and support decision making. DynOps has been found to reduce waiting on weather for marine operations by up to 30%, reducing cost and time.
Peter Jenkins, CEO, said: “The launch of DynOps and the success in securing its first contract marks a milestone development for 4Subsea.
“By providing both onshore and offshore personnel with the ability to safely prepare for operations up to a week in advance, companies can not only make significant savings on the cost of their campaigns, but also ensure that they are done in a timely fashion.”
Jenkins added: “The future of marine operations will see an increasing focus on sustainability, automation and digitalisation. For the offshore wind sector, it will soon help streamline the installation process and, looking further ahead, will also smoothen maintenance procedures when operational.”
