Ocean Infinity Orders Six 85m Robotic Offshore Vessels from VARD
;VARD’s vessel systems management and automation techniques coupled with Ocean Infinity’s systems integration capability and remote operations infrastructure will enable remote ship operation on a uniquely global scale," Ocean Infinity said.Richard Daltry, Technical Director – Surface Technology at Ocean Infinity said “Armada will play a huge role in enabling the global maritime community to reduce its carbon emissions from operations at sea. These new 85m vessels will be optimized for inspection, maintenance, and repair and light construction work to offer remote, ultra-low
Ocean Infinity Orders Six HUGIN AUVs
Robotics Sales with Kongsberg Maritime. “They also include the introduction of some new capabilities enabling operators to interface more easily with third-party software and also control adaptive behaviours in response to data collected in-mission.”Josh Broussard, Director of Sub-Surface Technology at Ocean Infinity, said: “These new AUVs include special software interfaces which will allow us to integrate our remote operations technology, mission planning and dive management software, along with a backseat driver allowing the vehicle to react to payload sensor output. Combined
Anti-Submarine Warfare: Unmanned Future
Hidden under the vast crystal blues of the Pacific, a submarine is hunted from above. A centuries-old game of cat and mouse drives the technological advancements in the ongoing race to conquer the undersea realms. Today, enhanced capability in both anti-submarine and anti-surface technology is transforming anti-submarine warfare, known as ASW. Modern submarines are not only quieter than their ancestors, but they are also better equipped to deal with the threats that shadow them from above. For now, submarines are ahead in the race. But, with the emergence of unmanned autonomous technology
Improved Surface Technologies for Large Hydraulic Cylinders
Large hydraulic cylinders are used in many offshore applications, like riser tensioning, heave compensation, skidding and deck mating and jacking. The piston rod surface of these engineer-to-order products is one of the most essential parts of the hydraulic installation. The right combination of surface technology, seal concept and hydraulic medium define the eventual uptime and total cost of ownership. Therefore, it has been the main driver for innovation over many decades. With Enduroq as new brand name for all of in-house surface technologies, Rexroth introduces an integrated concept for selecting
