Robosys Automation Unveils Autonomous Trial Boat
testing activities over-the-horizon by its UK, Canadian, and Indian offices.VOYAGER AI is unique in that in addition to fitting to newbuilds, it can also be retrofitted to any motorized vessel from 2-320 meters. VOYAGER AI is fully agnostic, integrating with third party steering, drive, and motor control systems.In addition, Robosys offers numerous options to complement VOYAGER AI, including COLREGS-compliant Collision Avoidance Decision Aid (CADA) applications to enhance the safety in the support of crewed and lean crewed watchkeepers.Other options include Voyager Platform Control providing Remote
Subsea Expo 2025 Theme Announced and Conference Programme Confirmed
programme are a series of sector spotlight sessions, which will see companies from across the underwater supply chain showcase innovations, highlight new technologies and discuss collaborative projects. Sessions will cover ROVs and robotics, maintaining late-life subsea assets, subsea power control systems and umbilicals, innovation, and business development.Neil Gordon, Global Underwater Hub chief executive, said: “Since its inception, Subsea Expo has convened industry to showcase innovation and discuss the key talking points and challenges it is facing and this year will be no exception
ASN to Supply Equipment for UK CCUS Project
contract to supply and install a standalone DC/FO submarine cable infrastructure at Teesside (UK).The DC/FO infrastructure will connect the onshore CO2 gathering network to subsea CO2 injection sites located approximately 145km from shore, enabling the delivery of power and communication to subsea control systems. The technology allows for future extensions, using the initially installed cable to connect additional manifolds as the volume of CO2 to be stored increases.ASN says the DC/FO system to be deployed for the NEP project is based on standard products, reducing project risks, costs and lead time
Subsea Digitalization: Remote Control
, such as subsea power and communications, continue to evolve, says Miguel Hernandez, Senior Vice President of Global Offshore at ABS, even though the subsea environment poses significant challenges. “Maintaining reliable communication links between subsea assets and onshore or offshore control systems is crucial, but connectivity issues such as bandwidth limitations and signal interference can pose challenges,” says Hernandez. “Transmitting data through water, especially at great depths, is challenging due to the attenuation of signals.”The introduction of 5G technology
Mocean Energy and Proserv Team Up for Low-Carbon Solutions for Subsea Ops
operators in the renewables sector, setting out detailed development plans to collaborate and implement solutions aimed at accelerating the decarbonization of offshore energy.Specifically, Proserv and Mocean Energy will explore opportunities connected with the provision of renewable power for subsea control systems.Ultimately the two companies will work to develop a feasible, low-carbon, cost effective alternative to the umbilical power cables traditionally used by the energy sector.Subject to further agreements, this customizable ocean power solution, powered solely by wave, solar and battery technologies
Woocheen Acquires Subsea Engineering Firm DME Systems
, nearshore and onshore. It also means we can respond even more quickly and safely when problems inevitably arise while conducting investigations 2,000 meters under water.”DME primarily serves the telecommunications and offshore wind industries by building and modifying subsea vehicles and control systems that help clients do work such as lay cables on the seafloor. It brings advanced expertise in automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning.DME Director Darren Coombe said the alliance will accelerate DME’s already rapid growth. Launched in 2021, the company now has a team of
New Project Marks Tipping Point for Subsea Electrification
pore-to-grid solution, this will trigger further step changes in performance, enabling greater and greater system-level optimization capabilities and cost efficiencies.“Additionally, an all-electric approach can help to overcome some of the limitations associated with legacy offshore power and control systems. Some of the cases we have looked at for tiebacks into mature infrastructure show an all-electric approach can help to enable the viability of these tiebacks.“It will also enable the remote control of such assets during the operational phase. The resulting reduction in project cycle time
J+S Subsea Delivers Control Systems for Canadian Oil and Gas Project
Subsea controls specialist J+S Subsea has completed its first project in Canada, which involved the supply of three subsea battery-powered control systems to maintain integrity of the subsea electrical infrastructure at an offshore oil and gas field.J+S Subsea systems will maintain integrity of the subsea electrical infrastructure when topside electrical power is unavailable, the company said.The project has been delivered through a collaborative approach involving Viper Innovations, Verlume, Richmond Mills Fabrication and MH Engineering (Fife), as well as J+S Subsea.The scope included the design
