Ship Repair: Inside the $60m Refit of RV Roger Revelle
;“We did a demonstration with Roger Revelle on sea trials, a test shot with a SATCOMs provider (where we) bumped up the internet connection on the ship to be equivalent to about what I experience at home. All of the sudden we went from a situation where you could barely get an email out to streaming video and real-time sending undecimated data sets, big data sets back to shore to be analyzed in near real time and returned to the ship. We’ve demonstrated that it can work, and it really is going to be a game changer for how U.S. scientific community does work at sea in the short term.&rdquo

These will be placed strategically in areas like wells, manifolds, etc. where human intervention will help mitigate for risk and improve operations. They will enable us to interface with the vehicles in real-time streaming video and joystick commands as if we were offshore with them.” This approach may enable wireless vehicles to operate further afield, while still in close contact with operators.New Robots, New Business ModelsExpanding on the vision of untethered undersea robots for IMR is Houston Mechatronic&rsquo
Pacific Drilling Goes Digital with Oceaneering
step for the implementation of new and expanded digital services.Oceaneering International and Pacific Drilling announced Monday that they have entered into a five-year Digital Services Package agreement to provide Pacific’s customers with better reliability and improved throughput enabling streaming video and real-time data. Better, more reliable onboard connectivity will allow customers to leverage data to make better decisions, faster, the companies say. As a result, Pacific Drilling’s customers stand to gain higher security, increased access and management of third parties as well

Oceaneering was able to successfully conduct a repair of the riser while providing operational visibility to the client – all while the operation was underway through satellite-enabled live streaming video. Today, several of Oceaneering’s clients now conduct operations through an onshore command center and maintain active communications with the crews offshore operating the equipment. As vessels become more automated, the need for connectivity only increases. The visibility that&rsquo

The vessel is outfitted with two Oceaneering work class remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and is equipped with a satellite communications system capable of transmitting streaming video for real-time work observation by shore personnel. Oceaneering said the vessel is expected to be used by Shell to perform subsea inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) projects and hardware installations. IMR projects are anticipated to include a wide range of intervention tasks,

Estimates of the size of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch range from 270,000 square miles to more than 5,800,000 square miles. “We are very excited to be able to invite Classrooms from around the world to log in and interact "LIVE" via streaming video. A ship to shore date will be set for classrooms to organize and for students to ask the onboard scientists and marine biologists’ questions. This voyage will consist of 6 weeks aboard Captain Moore's Research vessel,” said COORC founder, Tom Hirshberg. COORC’s new relationship
