... operations with the feeder vessel, are explained. Engineering challenges encountered during the design process are discussed, and their implications on technical, operational, supply chain, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) benefits of the concept. The feasibility of the present concept has...

... Operation Vessels, use of battery technology is still relatively new and has been implemented only within the last three to five years. The battery design and actual battery operation in both industries will be compared in this article in terms of battery utilization to reduce emissions and to provide...

... Ice conditions, low air temperatures, and remoteness are affecting the functionality and operations of offshore wind vessels. In addition, cold climates and ice have an impact on the economics of offshore wind installation and maintenance. Vessels without proper ice class have limited...

... All jackups, such as those used as Wind Turbine Installation Vessels (“WTIVs”) must undergo a process known as preloading before elevating the hull to the operating airgap. This is done to ensure that the seabed on which they are installed is capable of supporting the unit during elevated...

... Supermajors and larger operators are offloading mature assets to focus their capital on funding newer assets and energy transition. Investors see opportunities for free cash flow generation. Ultra-efficiency is key. Data Science is seen as a key enabler. To that end, Cantium, a brand-new data...

... For vessels which operate offshore for extended periods, there has been industry interest in providing means to recharge the battery systems without repeated return to port. Solutions would ideally use renewably sourced power as opposed to onboard charging from diesel engines. The electric...

... thrust and maximum over-torque both is another example. The unit will suit the highest ice class requirements such as IACS PC 1 and PC 2. The propulsion system utilizes different operating modes to meet the vessel’s operational needs. In difficult ice conditions the Azipod can be operated in specialized...

... The use of motion compensated equipment has become more frequent in modern DP operations, especially the ones related to the installation, maintenance and decommissioning of offshore wind turbines. In these operations, while low-frequency motions are compensated by DP systems, wave-frequency...

... Underwater robots, including Remote Operating Vehicles (ROV) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), are currently used to support underwater missions that are either impossible or too risky to be performed by manned systems. In recent years the academia and robotic industry have paved paths...

... When a wind turbine installation jack-up performs a heavy lifting operation with the crane it affects the loads on the foundation. For these units the crane typically encircles a leg or is positioned close to it. Consequently, that leg attracts most of the loads due to crane operations. For each...

... to 20 MW units. Arctic operation capable vessels are the result of decades of systematic propulsion technology development work, from direct shaft lines to the azimuth thrusters. However, it wasn't until the 2006 that the arctic container vessel, the MV Norilskiy Nickel, equipped with a single 13 MW...

... It is always a challenge to select the "right fuel" for offshore facilities because of the unavailability of well-defined criteria. A study was conducted to develop the fueling strategy for power generation of offshore facilities and for operation of various offshore vessels. Examples...

... perspective, the proposed system does not represent a safety risk to the facility in normal operation. Safe personnel entry will be managed and safeguarded by dedicated entry procedures. Operationally, less equipment results in lower required maintenance hours. More effort is required for hull and hull...

..., with the expectation to weather the storms, but now, with increased strengths seen in tropical rotating storms (TRS), ice floes, and deeper operating water depths, more sophisticated mooring components have been developed. Chain has yielded ground to wire and synthetic ropes. Stockless anchors have been replaced...

... of robustness are identified: Operational (R1), Survival (R2) and Reserve (R3) that span responses in state space ranging from the safe operating limit(SOL) up to system failure at the ALS limit. Systems engineering methods can be used to define system boundaries then map sub-systems and their interactions...

... An Arctic Mooring JIP was initiated by Kwan Engineering Services and Global Maritime in 2013 to address the issue of Arctic mooring design and operation practice, which was completed in 2016. There were 24 participants including operators, drilling contractors, regulators, designers...

... to determine the most cost effective and appropriate solution is critical for a successful operation. This paper will walk through some of the major components of the planning and decision-making process and will discuss the various challenges and opportunities associated with executing the decommissioning...

... disrupt export operations, and an inappropriately managed or configured terminal will be exposed to increased risk of production downtime. This can lead to millions of dollars in lost production revenue, in addition to costs such as demurrage. In order to minimize these costs, an understanding...

... technology infrastructure for long term digital transformation. The new agile development/deployment adopted by the company consists of the following process: identify operational need, develop digital solutions through a combination of conventional physics based model and machine learning techniques...

... developed by other mature energy industries, such as oil & gas and nuclear. Marine oil & gas operations are inherently complex. Soon after its inception, the industry reached the rightful conclusion that the commercial and operational success of marine operations heavily depends on the thoroughness...
