MARINE COORDINATION
AMRUMBANK WINDFARM
The 288MW Amrumbank West offshore windfarm was announced as fully operational at the end of 2015, with developers E.ON confirming that construction was complete. SeaPlanner was the chosen system provider for the construction phase, which included provision and installation of the marine coordination hardware for the MCC based at Hamburg, Germany.
REAL-TIME PERSONNEL TRACKING This included the coordination of inductions for all personnel working on the site which, by utilising SeaPlanner’s Induction Manager module, could be managed online from any location and therefore ensured site induction and required training was completed before arrival to the windfarm. The benefit of this to the marine coordinators was overall control and visibility of all activities with effective management locally from Hamburg.
A core function of the SeaPlanner system is the real-time personnel tracking system which has both a manual and automated function using RFID swipe cards. All real- time data feeds, movements and actions are stored in the system for quick replay and audit for the lifetime of the project. The system generates a range of custom and standard report outputs to help facilitate daily and ad-hoc reporting.
COMPLETE SETUP AND INSTALLATION
SeaPlanner provided complete setup and installation of marine management and vessel tracking at the central marine coordination centre, as well as the provision and setup of 20 personnel tracking units on various vessels which included iridium satellite communications for data transfer back to the MCC.
ENSURING SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY The SeaPlanner system ensured the safe and efficient coordination of the windfarm which is located off the coast of Germany – 35km north of Helgoland and 37km west of Amrum, by providing software for reliable vessel tracking, personnel tracking and online inductions. Combined with the hardware provision of VHF over IP, CCTV over IP, AIS tracking installed on the offshore infrastructure.
The configuration of the setup allowed the marine coordinators located in Hamburg, to monitor, communicate and control operations of the windfarm site whilst effectively coordinating project personnel from the project ports including Esbjerg, Cuxhaven, Romo and Helgoland.
Throughout construction of the project, SeaPlanner managed and recorded 3,000+ inductions, and the safe transfer of over 76,000 personnel.
