WavePredictor commissioned on multipurpose vessel
A first step within the Boskalis fleet
Real-time motion insights for safe transfers for the Boskalis crew
Validating motion prediction in pilot operations
A Next Ocean WavePredictor system was successfully commissioned on board a Boskalis multipurpose vessel. This marks another step forward in the integration of advanced predictive technology in offshore operations.
The vessel is equipped with a high-capacity trencher, capable of burying power cables several meters into the seabed, an operation requiring precise planning and careful handling to ensure both efficiency and safety.

Supporting operations
The WavePredictor system will play a crucial role in supporting trenching operations by providing real-time predictions of wave and vessel motions. This enables crews to anticipate challenging sea conditions and make informed operational decisions.
By delivering clear and actionable insights into how the vessel will move in the coming minutes, the system helps optimize positioning, reduce operational risks and improve overall reliability of offshore cable-laying activities.
More uptime.
Smarter decision-making.
Greater confidence and control
With Next Ocean’s technology on board, Boskalis crews gain greater confidence and control during complex subsea operations, improving both safety and efficiency. This installation highlights Boskalis’ commitment to leveraging strong digital solutions to support the demanding and precise nature of modern offshore engineering projects.
