DOF has formed a partnership with Kongsberg Maritime, SINTEF Ocean and NORCE,
which aims to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions for complex
offshore operations, while streamlining fleet-wide maintenance.
Enabled through sponsorship and support from Innovation Norway, the new
partnership between four of Norwayâs most established and advanced maritime
organisations will develop a sophisticated new Decision Support System (DSS) for
offshore vessel operations.
This new predictive, intelligent, and dynamic guidance tool will act as the
foundation for DOF to simplify operational complexity with objective
measurement, ultimately enabling optimal utilisation and more sustainable fleet
management.
Highlighting the potential of the partnership to catalyse a tangible
transformation, the multi-year project is backed with Innovation Norwayâs
largest funded offshore vessel, environmental technology project in 2018. It
will be a gamechanger in how marine operational decisions are supported by
providing more accurate, timely, and easily consumable information to decision
makers; from the vesselâs Chief Engineer to the Chief Operation Officer based
shore-side.
âThe partnership is focused on building a platform for intelligent efficiency,
made possible only through the integration of operational, information and
communication technologies,â said," Eirik Mathiesen, Director of Energy Products
Integration, Kongsberg Maritime. âEncompassing IoT, new smart sensors on board
will stream accurate data to the cloud-based DSS, where deep analysis with
intuitive presentation and application will drive equitable and predictable
operational performance.â
âGoing âsmartâ is integral to maintaining our position as the number one OSV
ship manager today and into the future, in a sustainable way,â said Lars
Christian Larsen, Senior Project Manager for Energy Management, DOF. âSmart is
not just deploying the right technologies. Developing our culture to focus even
more on sustainable operations with minimal environmental impact will be as
important as the technology we create with KONGSBERG, SINTEF Ocean and NORCE.
DOFâs maritime experience together with the collection of big data in an
operationally logical way will ensure success.â
âInformation is power, and when that information relates directly to power
consumption, it can revolutionise vessel operations, from onboard electrical
load management to route optimisation for passage by sea,â said Anders Valland,
Research Manager, Maritime Energy Systems, SINTEF Ocean. âThis is an exciting
project that strengthens Norwayâs position as the worldâs leading offshore and
maritime innovator with focus on efficient and sustainable operations.â
