Metocean Ground Truth

Offshore Construction

  • Requirement to track all vessels in the project area

  • No AIS coverage = team is "blind" to vessels.

V-NODE            T-AIS

Vessel Heatmaps

  • New data source = users get ideas!

  • Surprised by level of fishing activity

Surprising Outcome

Pipeline Installation

  • Unexpected soils = potential impact on schedule.

  • Need quick access to "legacy" survey data

Quick Data Access

Cable Installation

  • What's the position of the plough in relation to the vessel?

  • Are we in-spec?

Towed Plough Location

Cable Installation

  • Use sensor data

  • Compare with expected targets?

  • Forecast ahead

Sensor Performance

"It is not all about the map"

Thanks!
