Gangway operations and equipment transfers
Safer execution in rough seas
Wind park developers and their supporting contractors face increasing pressure to deliver: margins are thin and weather windows are tight. Autumn and winter bring rougher seas, making safe people transfers harder. The gangway compensates motions, but also has its mechanical limits. When circumstances are on the edge, safety can only be ensured by knowing what is coming.
Accurate motion predictions help the gangway operator when connecting the gangway, when sending technicians and equipment across, and when disconnecting. The DP operator uses the spectral plot to decide the direction respective to the turbine and then the rolling predictions as additional input for station keeping.
At critical moments, visibility matters
Predicting motion, protecting people
Whether it is moving technicians or equipment, transfer operations come with risk. In those crucial moments, you need to know what the vessel will do next. Next Ocean delivers real-time motion predictions to support safer decisions when it matters most.
Safety starts with insights
Confidence at sea, safety on board
A safe offshore operation is one where crews can plan with confidence. By predicting vessel motion in real-time, Next Ocean helps create a more stable, secure working environment, reducing stress and enhancing safety for everyone on board.
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.
Turning downtime into workdays
Unlock more operational days
With real-time motion prediction, crews can safely operate in conditions that would otherwise halt transfers. Next Ocean helps you unlock extra operational days by making informed go/no-go decisions based on what is ahead, not just what is now.

Innovative technology: how does it work?
Next Ocean uses the vessel’s radar to predict motion up to three minutes in advance. The system runs in real-time, and is easy to integrate on board.
We transform standard radar data into clear motion forecasts, helping crews work more safely and more efficiently at sea.
