First 'DP Digital Survey' Completed
surveying of Dynamic Positioning systems on boardKongsberg, BV and Bourbon announced a first in the maritime industry: the successful testing of a new solution for DP (Dynamic Positioning) system performance and redundancy audits.The ‘DP Digital Survey’ application runs on an industrial data management system to help ensure data consistency for the verification of installed systems. It acquires information directly from the DP system and delivers it to auditors via a secure cloud infrastructure, allowing compulsory surveys to be conducted remotely.Kongsberg Maritime’s plans for the ongoing
Drones for Coastal Enviro Management
of drones in coastal management.Workshop SummaryThe goals of the workshop were to summarize the state of technology in research- and monitoring-grade UAS, compile examples of current use in this area, understand the limitations and logistical challenges associated with UAS, develop operational and data management/analyses best practices, and describe future developments and applications for coastal ocean observing systems. A comprehensive workshop report is available from the ACT website (www.act-us.info).The workshop also sought to explore the challenges of truly quantitative multispectral and hyperspectral
