Nextocean To Outfit ESVAGT NJORD With Its Wavepredictor Technology


NextOcean, the Netherlands based provider of offshore vessel motion prediction technology, announces it has been awarded the contract to supply its motion radar to the ESVAGT NJORD, a dedicated Service Operations Vessel (SOV) commissioned by ESVAGT. The system will support safer, more efficient offshore operations as the vessel continues to provide its services to the operation and maintenance of the Dudgeon windfarm.


NextOcean’s WavePredictor is designed to give crews insight in advance into vessel motions in real time, enabling safer transfers and improved decision-making in challenging sea states. Its deployment on the ESVAGT NJORD extends NextOcean’s footprint in the Offshore Service

Vessel segment, with systems now supporting operations on vessels around the world.


“On an SOV, the crew makes dozens of go/no-go calls a day. Our system shows the officer on watch what the vessel is going to do in the coming minutes, so that call is backed by verified predictions and not by feel


alone. On a field like Dudgeon, where technicians need to get onto the turbine as oſten as the weather allows, that means both safer transfers and more workable days.” Karel Roozen, CEO, NextOcean


The motion radar and its accompanying soſtware are scheduled to be installed on the SOV this month.
