EXCLUSIVE MARINE AND HELICOPTER MARINE COORDINATION
FEATURE SPONSOR
Specialist Marine Consultants Ltd
SeaPlanner has been announced as the system provider by DONG Energy (DE) for their Marine and Helicopter Coordination Centre (MHCC) which will be one centralised hub for their UK offshore windfarm construction and a number of regional Operations MHCCs.
LATEST ENHANCEMENTS The MHCC project utilises SeaPlanner’s latest enhancements that set out to centralise, standardise, automate and make equipment easily deployable and support far offshore projects in order to save cost and ensure safety from day one for the people working offshore.
DETAILED TENDER PROCESS DONG Energy selected SeaPlanner after a detailed tender process having thoroughly assessed the market for a solution that encompassed all the exacting requirements of the project portfolio.
The company will provide DONG Energy with personnel management, vessel and helicopter tracking and the communication dispatcher and site wide communications hardware (TETRA, VHF marine, VHF airband) needed to safely operate an offshore construction site from a central location.
UNMANNED COMMUNICATIONS CONTAINERS
SeaPlanner will be deploying several unmanned communications containers. The containers will house all equipment required, including antennae, to carry out all communications on far offshore windfarms including vessel tracking, VHF marine and airband, Tetra, helicopter tracking and crewfinder.
The containers contain several self- contained safety systems including fire suppression, gas detection, climate control and more - these systems can all be monitored from the SeaPlanner software. The container will be suitable for applications on guard vessels and offshore platforms.
MARINE AND HELICOPTER COORDINATION CENTRE The MHCC will include SeaPlanner hardware and software combined to fulfil the following main purposes…
• Offshore management system enabling centralised and regional support of the individual offshore sites simultaneously from standardised workstations
• Enable marine, helicopter and personnel coordination across all sites
• Enable voice communication between personnel offshore, vessels, helicopters and a central coordination centre across sites
• Manage people, vessels/helicopters and personnel transfer to and from sites based on transport requests and access rights
• Provide communication and sensor platforms/containers on multiple sites for central situational awareness and radio communication
• Support a satellite and Tetra communication based Crew Transport Terminal on vessels and helipads for automatic people location tracking and text messaging
PORTFOLIO EXTENSION This contract extends SeaPlanner’s portfolio with DONG Energy, which has now provided support to over 80% of their UK offshore windfarms.
Nick Murphy, SeaPlanner Head of Operations commented: “SeaPlanner has undergone significant development over the last 12 months. As the industry has evolved, we’ve seen the demand for more extensive and complex solutions from our clients and we have invested heavily in our products and services to ensure that we meet those needs.
