For the heavy offshore jobs at sea, knowing your motions matters

Challenge based
on use case

Safer handling of heavy equipment

The sea is a busy arena with shipping lanes, wind parks, oil and gas platforms, shallow waters, anchorages and other construction sites. Offshore vessels need to negotiate all these obstacles and once at the construction site, deal with the weather at hand.

Whether you are moving a container and a piece of equipment around on the deck, transfer a load to another vessel, splash or recover an ROV, the wave induced motions make this high risk. We cannot keep your vessel steady but we can tell you when your vessel will move with out of limit displacement or acceleration.

Once at the site the job must be completed

Predicting motion, protecting people and equipment

It may take 1 – 3 days to get to construction site. Once there, the weather and waves may not be exactly as forecasted. There are hard limits but what if, on average waves and motions are within limit, but from time to time waves and motions are unacceptable. Can you still finish the job? Recover your trencher if the wind has picked up or waves got steeper due to tide turning?

When the going gets tough

You can use find the quiet moments

Next Ocean’s real-time motion predictions give crews the insight they need to execute offshore operations with confidence. By providing accurate, timely information on vessel behaviour, our technology creates a more stable and predictable environment, reducing stress and enhancing safety for everyone on board.

No more gambling

Reduce risk and get the job done

With real-time motion prediction, crews can safely operate in conditions that on a statistical basis are above the acceptable limit. That one moment to lift, or making a connection, with visibility of what is coming, you can pick the right moment and avoid the wrong moment.
