Makai & Triton Software Launch Advanced Ocean Vector Chart Service
Makai Ocean Engineering will collaborate with Triton Software Ltd to integrate the innovative Ocean Vector Chart Service (OVCS) and provide access to high-resolution nautical charts directly in MakaiPlan, a submarine cable route planning software. This partnership introduces a powerful new feature to MakaiPlan by incorporating Triton Software’s API and hosted server for Lloyd’s Register’s worldwide vector dataset. Compared to traditional Admiralty raster charts, the OVCS feature empowers users to access and display the web-hosted electronic navigational charts with enhanced

of these interactions, we often add new operator-requested features to the software that can seamlessly integrate with their operating procedures, making their workflow more effective and efficient.” The new Level-II course uses MakaiLay as well as its in-office counterpart, called MakaiPlan Pro, which is used for training and to identify installation risks and prepare installation plans before ever going to sea. For beginning and intermediate users of Makai’s cable software suite, Makai offers Level-I courses that provide training on the fundamentals of cable route
Makai Reports Software Sales Uptick
Provider of submarine cable planning and installation software Makai Ocean Engineering, Inc. has reported multiple new sales of its software for route engineering, installation planning and real-time lay control of subsea cables. “We are pleased to announce multiple sales of MakaiPlan, MakaiPlan Pro, and MakaiLay to existing and new customers,” said Dr. Venkata Jasti, Makai’s Manager of Submarine Cable Systems. “We’ve worked hard on improving the functionality and user-friendliness of Makai’s software suite, especially for subsea power cables. Helping
Makai Upgrades Cable Installation Simulation Software
Makai has released version 6.0 of MakaiPlan Pro, software for planning and simulating subsea power and telecom cable installations. MakaiPlan Pro includes the tools of MakaiPlan GIS cable route engineering software. In addition, MakaiPlan Pro allows the user to perform powerful and precise 3-D, dynamic simulations of a submarine cable installation. The operator can quickly simulate an entire cable lay in advance from the comfort of the office at up to 50 times faster than real-time. This is useful for developing Ship Installation plans, performing pre-lay and post-lay analysis, and also for operator
MakaiLay Suite for Cable Layers
Makai Ocean Engineering, Inc. said it continues to address issues experienced by the subsea power cable industry by enhancing submarine cable lay software, MakaiLay, and its desktop simulation sister product, MakaiPlan Pro. Specifically, three key features are being integrated into the Power Cable modules for each of these products that are built specifically for power cable installers: 1. Cable Top Angle. MakaiLay now has the option to use the cable departure angle, or “Top Angle”, which can be measured at the over-boarding point. When high quality measurements of top tension are not

Ocean Bottom Cable Installation: SAIC Choose Makai
SAIC has purchased two MakaiLay Seismic licenses and one MakaiPlan Pro Seismic license for use in their seismic oil and gas exploration projects. (SAIC owns and operates modularized cable engines and cable installation equipment together with certified MakaiLay operators to install submarine cables worldwide. SAIC often leases vessels of opportunity in the project region with which they deploy the Ocean Bottom Cables (OBCs) or node arrays). Makai Ocean Engineering point to a growing interest in their cable installation tools by the seismic exploration community, which has begun to translate
