Ocean Infinity Inks Deal with Shell for Subsea Data Capture Services
in the provision of lean-crewed and robotic seabed geomatics, spanning geophysical and geotechnical services, within the offshore energy sector.It covers a 5-year period, encompassing all countries where Shell is currently active or plans to operate in the future.Services governed by the GFA include the Armada fleet of uncrewed and lean-crewed vessels."This agreement enables new, lean-crewed vessels into high-value field work. Using our robotic fleet to service global offshore energy activities will power the maritime industry’s transformation into safer, more efficient new ways of working,"
VIDEO: Ocean Infinity's Armada 7801 Robotic Vessel Reaches Norway
Ocean Infinity's Armada 7801 has reached Norway after a long journey from Vietnam, where its hull was built last year at the Vard Vung Tau shipyard."Our first new ship has arrived in Norway, having set sail on its maiden voyage from Vietnam in November. Installation of the payload equipment and remote systems will now commence ahead of the ship entering service on offshore data acquisition tasks in the coming months," Ocean Infinity, a seabed survey and ocean research company based in the United States, said Thursday.The 78-meter robotic vessel will be outfitted by Vard Søviknes.
VIDEO: Ocean Infinity's Two Armada Vessels Set Sail from Vietnam
Ocean Infinity, a seabed survey and ocean research company based in the United States, said Tuesday that two of its new vessels, part of the Armada USV fleet, had set sail from Vietnam."We're officially the proud owner of not just one but two brand new ships. Armada 7801 and 7802 have set sail from Vietnam and are headed to Norway. The delivery of these first two ships marks an important milestone on our journey towards tech-enabled lean-crewed operations for a safer and greener maritime future," Ocean Infinity said.More than two years ago, in February 2020, Ocean Infinity first announced
NASA’s S-MODE Field Campaign Deploys to the Pacific Ocean
The mission’s fleet of ship, aircraft and marine robotics will study ocean eddies and other elusive features near the surface that have a big influence on climate.When the research vessel Bold Horizon sailed from Newport, Ore., in early October, it joined a small armada of planes, drones and other high-tech craft chasing the ocean’s shapeshifting physics.NASA’s Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) is converging on a patch of sea 110 nautical miles off the coast of San Francisco. Over the course of 28 days, the team will deploy a new generation of tools to observe whirlpools
USVs Eye Offshore Wind Opportunities
capability is a future vision.“Our view is that you can’t currently fit everything on one vessel,” says Jones. “One could be fit for wind farm asset integrity, but might not be appropriate for construction or UXO survey.”Ocean Infinity’s 78 m vessel is it’s first Armada fleet vessel on the water. It will be lean-crewed to start with. Photos from Ocean Infinity.Ocean InfinityOcean Infinity is going even bigger with its emerging Armada Fleet. Ocean Infinity’s first 78m vessel is undergoing commissioning and expected to start work early next year, initially targeting
Greensea Promotes Allen to VP of Operations
Production Manager and, according to Greensea, quickly became a key member of the Greensea team before being appointed to her new role. "Chelsea has been instrumental in positioning Greensea to become one of the leaders in ocean robotics by providing program management to Ocean Infinity’s Armada fleet and overseeing production of the RNAV2 diver navigation systems," Greensea said.As VP Operations, she is responsible for software and hardware production teams as well as the quality and documentation teams which represents more than 50% of Greensea’s workforce.“Greensea&rsquo
PHOTO: Ocean Infinity's First 78-meter Robotic Ship Hits the Water
Ocean Infinity, a seabed survey and ocean research company based in the United States, has released the first photographs of their Armada 78m remotely operated ship taking to the water, and shared them with Offshore Engineer.More than two years ago, in February 2020, Ocean Infinity first announced its plans to build the world's largest fleet of unmanned surface vehicles (USV). Then in November 2020, it decided to expand the fleet with 78 meters long robotic vessels that can be optionally crewed, placing an order for six of those units with VARD.In a statement on Monday, sharing the Armada 78m
OSM to Supervise Construction of Ocean Infinity's Robotic Vessels in Norway
Maritime and offshore service provider OSM Maritime Group will act as Ocean Infinity's newbuild site supervision partner, for six robotic offshore vessels being built for Ocean Infinity in Norway, for its Armada Fleet.Four vessels will have a length of 21 meters and tow vessels of 36 meters. The robotic vessels, being built at GMV shipyard in Norway will be equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and pioneering navigational technology that allows information to be gathered from the shallowest and deepest waters. Each vessel has been specifically designed to ensure can rapidly de deployed
Ocean Infinity Orders Six 85m Robotic Offshore Vessels from VARD
run on green ammonia.This order of six, 85-metre, optionally crewed robotic vessels will take Ocean Infinity’s remote vessel fleet to 23 vessels, which the company says is the largest in the world. To remind, Ocean Infinity in early 2020 said it would launch a new marine technology and data company Armada, boasting the industry's largest fleet of unmanned surface vehicles (USV).The new vessels of VARD 9 80 design will expand Ocean Infinity’s current Armada fleet of nine 21-meter and 36-meter vessels, plus eight 78-meter vessels which are already in production.In a statement on Monday, announcing
