The pilot, set to start later this 12 months aboard the offshore vessel Normand Sentinel, will discover how distant know-how can improve operational flexibility and broaden recruitment alternatives inside the maritime business. By enabling DP operations to be performed from shore, the mission goals to draw a wider and extra various recruitment base.
The shore-based DP operator will work from a Distant Operations Centre (ROC) operated by Remota, supported by superior connectivity and cybersecurity infrastructure.
This initiative represents a step towards smarter, extra sustainable maritime operations. By leveraging cutting-edge distant know-how, the mission goals to reinforce operational flexibility and unlock new efficiencies in offshore operations.
In its first section, the pilot will contain two vessels: Solstad’s Normand Sentinel and Østensjø’s Edda Freya. Each vessels will preserve full onboard DP groups to make sure security and supply comparative knowledge. The mission may even discover the viability of distant DP2 operations and assess a extra versatile mannequin for future operations.
“Along with our skilled, forward-thinking, and modern companions Solstad, Østensjø, DeepOcean, and Remota, we goal to problem established norms within the maritime business by modern distant know-how, collectively addressing future challenges with confirmed technological options,” stated Lisa Edvardsen Haugan, President of Kongsberg Maritime.
“Along with DeepOcean and Østensjø, we’re partnering up with Remota and Kongsberg Maritime to problem the established by use of distant know-how,” added Lars Peder Solstad, CEO of Solstad. “By combining new applied sciences with operational expertise, we see the chance to switch features similar to DP operations from offshore to onshore.”
“True progress begins with the correct mindset—and the correct companions,” commented Kristian H. Vea, CEO of Østensjø. “This collaboration locations us on the forefront of distant offshore operations, reinforcing our dedication to advancing smarter, extra sustainable maritime options.”
“These nice companions, aligned in our objectives, and mixing one of the best obtainable applied sciences, will end in supporting DeepOcean’s imaginative and prescient of being the world-leading ocean service supplier and staying on the forefront of distant and uncrewed operations, enabling effectivity good points for offshore power operators,” stated Øyvind Mikaelsen, CEO of DeepOcean.
“When creating and proving distant DP operations with famend companions as Østensjø, Solstad, DeepOcean and Kongsberg Maritime, Remota will probably be in place to supply DP from Distant Operation Facilities to the broader DP market,” concluded Sveinung Soma, CEO of Remota. “Our prospects will profit from decrease working prices and better crew utilization and suppleness.”
The partnership is formalized by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU),
