Gaining crucial insights at sea
“The benefits of Next Ocean’s wave prediction technology are obvious. Making the behavior of vessels or floating structures in waves more predictable will positively impact the safety and efficiency of numerous operations at sea, e.g. offshore personnel and material transfers to wind turbines and helicopter operations on vessels during installation and O&M.”
The motion challenge of offshore transfers
Predicting motion, protecting crew
Walk-to-Work vessels such as (C)SOV’s and CTV’s operate in tough offshore conditions. Swell, and often irregular wind waves cause unpredictable vessel motions, and there is a clear limit to what the gangway and the DP system can compensate. Knowing what is coming makes all the difference.
Next Ocean’s real-time motion prediction system gives crews easy to understand, actionable insights into vessel motions, displayed as a simple time line with red and green bars. Teams can execute the transfers at the right moment and reduce risks to personnel and equipment. Even in challenging offshore conditions, crews can operate with confidence instead of being forced to take a gamble.
Walk-to-Work
See motion coming,
act with confidence.
Predict. Protect. Postpone only when needed.
Next Ocean’s real-time motion prediction gives crews the insight they need to execute transfers safely and efficiently. By knowing vessel motions before they hit, teams can reduce risk and can extend operational windows, even in rough and confused seas.
Work safely and reduce downtime
With real-time motion prediction, Walk-to-Work crews can safely operate in conditions that would normally halt transfers. Next Ocean helps you unlock extra operational days by supporting better go/no-go decisions based on what is ahead, not just what is now or happened in the last 20 minutes.
