Strategizing Connectivity for Fleet Optimization, Remote Ops
which concluded that 78% of all data points manually entered into noon reports were available digitally. “Where you have a decent automated manifest system, you can actually systemize that process relatively easily with the right connectivity,” he explains.In addition, when applied to operational technology and the critical infrastructure network, an effective connectivity framework enables remote services including equipment intervention and surveys. “All of our ships are deployed to generate revenue,” said Sepp. “We don’t have the luxury of having regular physical access
New Product: SeaQ Remote for Autonomous Ship Ops
group, in line with market demands for cost-efficient and green operations, capitalizing on our long and proven experience in the shipbuilding industry,” said Vard Electro’s CEO Andrea Qualizza.Accoding to the developers, SeaQ Remote extends smart data-driven functionality to operational technology (OT) in the vessel hull as it enables remote operation of existing machinery systems such as engines, propellers and thrusters. Machinery is connected by sensors that can stream real-time data via the cloud to an onshore control center. Merged data from these sensors on a unified user interface
Ransomware: The IT Danger on the Horizon
of 2019, and it’s clear that this threat will only get worse.So how does this affect the maritime industry? And how should a global business network struggling with technology integration across the board deal with this aggressive mode of attack?Over the last 10 years, the integration of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) systems in the maritime environment has accelerated dramatically. Onboard ships, modern network technologies allow for greater control and monitoring of engineering and mechanical systems, leading to increased reliability and efficiency for vessel operators
World’s First: LR Digital Type Approval to HHI
confidence in the market for the supply of digital components and offers all the benefits of traditional type approval; reassurance on supply chain quality and robustness within the marine environment. Digital type approval can apply to both components within information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems.Type approval of HHI’s first line network security component confirms it complies with the latest LR type approval test specifications and the requirements specified in LR’s type approval system procedure for components that are part of digital systems onboard ships

optimization, digital transformation and enhanced HSEQ performance, the company said in a press release on Tuesday. He will also oversee all business applications and IT aspects of the company.ROVOP said Wilson will be accountable for maximizing the synergies between business infrastructure and operational technology. This will, for example, enable the use of operational data and advanced analytics to support business decisions via the company’s integrated management system.Wilson, who has an engineering background in subsea robotics, joins ROVOP from Subsea 7 where, as ROV and Autonomy Program
Kongsberg Installs Marine Ecosystem Assessment Solution on Research Ship
the new ship based on its strategic portfolio of ‘integrated systems for research vessels'. The company is experiencing significant growth in this area due to the efficiencies and increased performance achieved by integrating acoustic systems, bridge and automation system and related vessel operational technology. According to Adrian Madirolas, Head of the Hydroacoustic Lab at INIDEP, sea trials have already shown the high performance of Kongsberg’s integrated systems: “During the sea trials, the hydroacoustic results were exceptional. The low hydrodynamic noise level, low radiation
