A Next Ocean WavePredictor system is now commissioned on board the Grampian Tyne SOV, bringing advanced real-time wave and vessel motion prediction technology directly to the heart of offshore operations. The system is designed to help crews make informed decisions, improve safety and optimize efficiency during critical operations in offshore wind farms.

We are excited to contribute to the ongoing development of the North Star series of Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) supporting the Dogger Bank Wind Farm, one of the largest offshore wind projects. By equipping vessels like Grampian Tyne, we enable operators to anticipate sea conditions, reduce operational risks, and maximize uptime during maintenance and crew transfer operations.

North Star chose Next Ocean for our ability to provide accurate, real-time predictions of waves and vessel motion, helping crews make safer and more informed decisions during offshore operations. The system integrates with existing vessel equipment and delivers clear, actionable insights, enabling smooth crew transfers, optimized positioning and improved efficiency across their SOV-fleet.

With Next Ocean on board the vessel, pilots can operate safely in a wider range of conditions. Real-time motion predictions help the crew identify safe moments for critical transfers, even in challenging sea states. The result: more operational days and better use of each weather window.
