Miros, Marine Tech Agree to Develop Next-Gen Marine Sensing Systems
advanced marine sensing technologies with MT’s vessel control and smart-ship systems, the companies said on Wednesday.The agreement, which involves no financial commitments, outlines the companies’ intent to combine Miros’ real-time ocean sensing, wave and current monitoring, and oil spill detection technologies with MT’s footprint in offshore vessel control and dynamic positioning systems.Both firms said the partnership could lead to future cooperation in areas such as vessel performance optimization and offshore wind operations.“This agreement marks the beginning of what
Enhanced Oil Spill Detection System Starts Operating Offshore Brazil
Miros, in partnership with Belga Marine, has enhanced its Oil Spill Detection (OSD) monitoring system system to include cloud-based monitoring capabilities that are now fully operational across several production assets offshore Brazil.The updated OSD monitoring system has been deployed across multiple production assets of a major Brazilian energy company.By integrating Miros’ technology with cyber secure, real-time cloud-based data sharing, the system ensures seamless collaboration and communication among offshore operators, environmental regulators and onshore stakeholders. This innovation is
Miros Launches Cloud-based Oil Spill Detection Monitoring Tool
Miros expanded its product line with the launch of the Oil Spill Detection (OSD) Monitoring application in Miros Cloud.Designed to run on top of Miros’ OSD system, the solution introduces a new level of real-time visibility, centralized collaboration, and full accountability for offshore operators and proactive oil spill management. In an industry where oil spills demand instant action, OSD Monitoring empowers users to monitor, track, and respond faster than ever before, minimizing environmental impact. By utilizing a real-time, cloud-based monitoring platform, all alarms and data are
Aker BP Hires Contractor for New Oil Spill Detection Solution
Aker BP has contracted technology supplier Vissim to implement an upgraded oil spill detection solution at the operator’s fixed and floating installations on the Norwegian continental shelf.Aker BP will equip installations Valhall, Ula, Edvard Grieg, Ivar Aasen, Alvheim and Skarv with the new and upgraded oil spill detection solution.The upgraded, radar-based oil spill detection system uses image processing technology that enables much higher sensitivity, which allows it to detect even smaller oil spills, according to Aker BP.“The new solution has resulted in higher sensitivity, which
Equinor and Kongsberg Digital Team Up to Enhance Offshore Skills and Environmental Protection
, and perform holistic crisis management in advanced offshore operations.Keyto this collaboration is the deployment of four K-Sim Offshore simulators delivered by Kongsberg Digital. These will be integrated with KONGSBERG’s K-Pos Dynamic Positioning systems and NORBIT’s pioneering Oil Spill Detection system, Aptomar. According to Kongsberg Digital, the tailored configuration will not only enable offshore procedure training for offshore personnel, but also environmental conservation drills, oil spill detection and recovery simulations, and all-encompassing safety and crisis management

decisions to improve fuel consumption, reduce carbon emissions, and mitigate any safety risks.As part of the agreement, Elcome will not only partner with Miros but also provide distribution and installation services for its full product portfolio, which includes the company's industry leading oil spill detection (OSD) system. Elcome will be certified to commission and perform service and support on all Miros' products. “With more than 250 Miros OSD systems delivered to oil companies, ship owners and coastal agencies around the world, Miros has established itself as a global leader in
Aker BP Taps Vissim to Develop Digital Platform for Offshore Oil Spill Monitoring
The Norwegian technology firm Vissim has won a contract Vissim to develop a digital platform for future oil spill monitoring and detection system on the Norwegian continental shelf for Aker BP.Vissim said Tuesday it would develop a software solution that integrates input from a number of different oil spill detection sources, including radars, satellites, sensors, on subsea production equipment, and combine them into one, complete, easy-to-understand visual overview.Håvard Odden, director of Vissim’s North Sea operations, said: "The system will provide an integrated 24/7 real-time visual

and Turbine Base InspectionsBrazilian startup Tidewise has been making in-roads into USV-based operations. Co-founded in 2019, by a naval architect and a robotics specialist, it launched its first USV, the 4.95 m Tupan, the same year.It initially developed a UAV-hosting capability, primarily for oil spill detection, for Repsol Sinopec. But this year, for Belgium’s Elia, it demonstrated visual inspection capability for offshore wind substations, alongside mulitibeam data collection, to assess the subsea cables, and lidar, to create a point cloud of the structure.In Tidewise’s sights is foundation
Miros Sensors put to the test in the Port of Gdynia
in ports. This is the result of an international consortium consisting of five entities: Port of Gdynia Authority S.A., Gdansk University of Technology, Gdynia Maritime University, Norwegian Institute of Water Research, and Miros AS. The system is a combination of a Miros Wavex radar with oil spill detection capability and WaveWeather, the company’s high-performance, remote, dry sensors for the measurement of directional waves, meteorological parameters, water level and surface currents. The research project’s findings will determine the degree of reliability of bathymetric surveys
