Minesto's Dragon 12 Project Powers Forward with Cable Installation Completion
installed. The installation and operation were completed according to plan thanks to our team and suppliers”, said Dr Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto. A standard offshore supply vessel was adapted by Minesto’s subcontractor Inyanga for the cable laying to provide a cost-efficient vessel solution for the marine operations. The cable was manufactured by JDR in the UK and loaded onto the installation vessel in Hartlepool prior to transiting to the Faroe Islands. The next steps for the Dragon 12 installation are seabed anchoring and kite installation.How does Minesto technology work
Rovco, CWind Wrap First Phase of East Anglia ONE Subsea Inspection Works
corrective maintenance planning, as well as pre-engineering studies at the offshore wind farm.Rovco, led by CWind, began work in July 2020 – using a combination of DPII SOV with its Seaeye Leopard Work-Class ROV onboard, to carry out inspection works on nominated subsea structures and a Survey Vessel solution for multibeam and side scan work along the Array and Export Cable routes. This work assisted in notifying the condition of the operational windfarm to allow informed maintenance planning as required based on the results of the surveys, Rovco said
Unmanned Vehicles: 25 Years of Milestones
a proven tool.The mission of seafloor survey remains a core application for this technology. In this domain ASV recently announced a partnership with Fugro, a global survey leader, to create the next generation of autonomous vessels for the commercial survey market. Developing this new autonomous vessel solution will help the survey industry reduce offshore staff exposure and increase operational efficiency by making operations safer and more cost effective.L3 ASV C-Worker 5 Autonomous Vessel (Courtesy: L3 ASV)Unmanned systems moving oceans into the futureSince the mid-1990s the internet, software,
MPI Resolution’s Leg Extensions Raises Capabilities
, the vessel’s dynamic-positioning system, jacking system, 3,200m2 deck space, accommodation facilities and 600Te lifting capacity make it an efficient, effective and wellproven vessel. Built in 2003, the vessel combines tested technologies applied in innovative ways to provide a single vessel solution for the offshore construction industry. In late 2015, MPI Resolution underwent an upgrade to full DP II classification, enhancing her operational capabilities. The possibility to install leg extensions was foreseen during construction, with vessel design accommodating this option. These latest
Surveys by MMT for COBRAcable Installation
be laid across the Southern North Sea connecting the Netherlands and Denmark. The COBRAcable is a cross-border project of European significance and is part of the EU Economic Recovery Plan and is designated as a Project of Common Interest (PCI). The project was successfully completed with a four vessel solution between early September and late November. The M/V Askholmen performed Shallow Water Geophysical Survey at the landfalls in Eemshaven, Netherlands and Fanö, Denmark. The Coastal Chariot from Acta Marine performed shallow water Geotechnical Survey utilizing MMT’s CPT and Vibro Corer
Bhagwan Dryden Delivers Dive Support Vessel Solution
Incat Crowther’s first-of-type Catamaran Dive Support Vessel, Bhagwan Dryden, has set a new standard for catamaran dive support vessels since its launch and delivery earlier this year. Operational feedback has been positive for the vessel, which has already received high praise for initial operations, including mooring inspection carried out by ROV and operations under four point mooring and DP in shallow, rough seas. Developed in conjunction with Bhagwan Marine, and built by Keppel, Bhagwan Dryden is the first catamaran dive support vessel (DSV) with such a high level of integrated
Newest Calesurvey Vessel Returns to Norway for Site Surveys
Manager, Calecore said “Just recently launched in April this year, the Kommandor Calumhas proven to be a timely and excellent addition to our fleet. With the current high demand for complex geophysical and geotechnical ROV site survey services we have been able to offer a third single platform vessel solution to our clients”. An 80m twin engine, site investigation vessel, she has been specifically designed to maximize the voluminous nature of the heavily built hull for safe, sustained and comfortable operations. Capabilities include 2D exploration, 2DHR, SBP arrays, deep water high resolution
Wärtsilä to Design 6 OSVs for China's COSL
Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels will initially provide support operations in the South China Sea and Bohai Bay. The contract was signed in December 2012. The PSVs are based on Wärtsilä Ship Design's VS 485 PSV MKIII design that offers a highly energy and environmentally efficient vessel solution with an optimized hull design for greater efficiency, with corresponding reduced emission to air. The AHTS vessels are to be constructed according to the Wärtsilä Ship Design VS 4612 AHTS design. The primary function of AHTS vessels is to set anchors for drilling rigs, and tow mobile
