INNOVATIONS & USING NEW TECHNOLOGY
A LITTLE TASTER…..
SeaPlanner is constantly evolving and never has time for complacency. It would seem that they are forever improving when it comes to innovation of their products and services.
POWERFUL AND SOPHISTICATED – TO THE NEXT LEVEL The Document Manager module allows for a central portal for disparate information/documentation to be accessed immediately by contractors and management ensuring complete project visibility. Dominic continues by providing an example that this is ideal port side, for marine co-ordinators, if hubs are at different locations allowing personnel to collaborate on-line between hubs 24/7.
Dominic mentions the enhanced Metocean Manager which enables weather and met mast feeds as well as forecast information on essential weather conditions. Clients have found this invaluable to ensure uptime on projects.
The system also has an array of monitoring and alert features, including alerts for vessels and personnel promoting pro- active safety management – crucial. Also the in-house development team are working on modules for Permit to Work, HSE incident tracking, transfer plans and Maintenance Manager modules – as part of the development and enhancements.
BENEFITS
I was keen to learn how the upgraded version differs from SeaPlanner today. Dominic continues: “….the key thing for the changes coming to SeaPlanner is familiar functionality. There will be scalability and standardisation of the modules…..”
The enhanced version will benefit from Hub Management. A central hub will offer the ability to monitor numerous projects simultaneously from one central control room, thus optimising progress project by project. The hub will allow contractors to move seamlessly from site to site with full visibility – literally!
IN A NUTSHELL
VALUABLE COMMODITY Time is money in any business and the
induct.me module allows for this valuable commodity to shave off many an hour. All inductions for personnel are completed online, suitably certified and within date prior to even arriving on site. Company site safety videos can be uploaded and the client can adapt the software to set the criteria for pass rates thus ensuring their workforce have understood all relevant information and are competent. All this personnel data is stored in a secure location allowing for expediency of information and ensuring safety whilst reducing risks from day one.
IRONCLAD SECURITY
When I say a secure location I can most categorically state it is – for such state- of-the-art software as this, it commands a hosting provider extraordinaire. World renowned and ultra robust and sharing with the likes of the Ministry of Defence... need I go on?
Dominic explains that the hardware has also upped its game becoming more streamlined.
Having a flexible host for all the SeaPlanner applications and data centre means the client does not have to invest in expensive and time consuming hardware installations, SeaPlanner can take the headache out of the project installs by providing speedy setup and installation within 2 weeks. Added to this they provide 24 hour support 365 days a year – a comforting thought indeed!
TRAINING
The beauty of these modules is their ease of application - so training is of a minimum, although of course SeaPlanner invite in- house training at their headquarters in Chichester or on site – a case of train the trainer.

It is quite apparent that there is no end to the creative accomplishments and detailed technical knowledge of their sector. It seems that SeaPlanner will continue to secure safe and efficient construction of a multitudinous number of offshore wind turbines – to date it is an impressive 726 and counting… over half of those in UK waters!
In an even smaller nutshell… “Ground breaking technology that meets the specific needs of the industry”
