Tackling the Energy Transition, the TechnipFMC Way
clients’ requirements is one challenge that we can meet today. This will allow us to reduce our emissions from the manufacturing and installation processes.Another challenge is to allow for further integration in the execution model – mainly, closer collaboration between the client and system integrator. This will enable consolidation of infrastructure and therefore reduced emissions. The main contributor to the emissions from upstream operations is running gas turbines on the platform. Electrification of the platforms with renewable energy either from shore or produced offshore is required

technologies to keep improving the performance of our vessels while also reducing fuel consumption in our non-propulsion electrical systems,” reinforces Ole Graa, Maersk Head of Fleet Technology.The containerized battery energy storage system has been manufactured in Odense, Denmark by the system integrator and turnkey supplier Trident Maritime Systems. The battery system will be shortly transported to Singapore and installed on board the Maersk Cape Town.The vessel is a Singapore-flagged 249-meter long container ship built in 2011 which sails between West Africa and East Asia. The first full

experiment last week (8 to 13 July) took the first steps in examining the impact, the potential of the technology for Port of Amsterdam and the steps Port of Amsterdam has to take to prepare for a more structural deployment in the future.The pilot has been set up in collaboration with Seabed. This system integrator from Amsterdam has brought over the Telemetron of Maritime Robotics in Norway to the Netherlands for the test week.The Telemetron is the research vessel of Maritime Robotics on which they test their hardware and software. Seabed provides the measurement equipment on board the Telemetron.The
Wood Wins Jansz-lo Subsea Compression FEED
design (FEED) services for the Jansz-lo compression project offshore Western Australia.The project – the first outside of Norway to use subsea compression technology – will maintain gas supply to the existing onshore Gorgon liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility.Wood said it will lead as system integrator of the technology, providing independent flow assurance, subsea design and construction engineering support during the FEED. Effective immediately, Wood’s one-year contract will be delivered by its team based in Perth.The Jansz-Io field – part of the Chevron-operated Gorgon Project
Klein's Side Scan Sonar, Then and Now
a sensor payload than a system. These payloads need to be tightly integrated into the vehicle to achieve the desired performance. This is an area we’re really focused on because it’s a bit different; again, you’re a sensor versus a system. So you have to work very closely with the system integrator – typically the vehicle manufacturer – giving close attention to power, cooling, electrical/mechanical/acoustic interference and the software interface to insure optimal performance. This is a growing market and a market that we’re paying very, very close attention to.
VARD Selects Synapsis INS For an Advanced Research Vessel
The German navigation system integrator Raytheon Anschütz has won a contract for the supply of a Synapsis Integrated Navigation System (INS) to an advanced research vessel. VARD Holding Limited, a major global designer and shipbuilder of specialized vessels, with their subsidiary VARD Electro AS, have selected Raytheon Anschütz’ Synapsis INS for a new research vessel. The Synapsis INS is part of a large equipment and electrical installation package, which VARD Electro AS will provide to Cochin Shipyard Ltd. The INS consists of a total of six workstations for chart
DCNS Australia Opens Adelaide Future Submarine Facility
and the Australian government should be signed next autumn. It will deal with complete studies and conceptual designs of the future submarines. The framework contract was signed at the end of September 2016; it includes preliminary design activities, coordination with Lockheed Martin the Combat System Integrator, and the building of infrastructures. The start of the first submarine construction is expected to take place around 2020, with the first delivery planned for 2030. The Australian future program should employ about 2,900 persons in Australia directly involved in the submarine
Thales Ready for UK Navy Unmanned Systems Test
Mine Countermeasures program to assess the future mine warfare capabilities of the UK and French navies. The trials have proved the ability of the Halcyon and T-SAS offering to beam live, high quality sonar images to shore-based operators over considerable distances. As the system integrator for the Maritime Autonomous Platform Exploitation (MAPLE) program, Thales is also working with industry, the Dstl and the Maritime Capability branch of the Royal Navy to research integrated command and control in unmanned vehicles in order to reduce the manpower, space and training burden,
Combat System Integrator for Future Submarines
The Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Marise Payne and the Minister for Defence Industry, The Hon Christopher Pyne MP today announced that Lockheed Martin Australia has been selected as the preferred Combat System Integrator for Australia's Future Submarine Program, subject to further discussion on commercial matters. Minister Payne said this is an important step in the development of Australia’s regionally superior future submarines. “Lockheed Martin Australia will be our Combat System Integrator to partner with Defence and DCNS to design and integrate the combat system of
