MARITIMEJOURNAL BOATINGBUSINESS COMMERCIAL MARINE BUSINESS

THE UK LEISURE MARINE BUSINESS

Welcome letter A warm welcome to Southampton for the 2022 Seawork Commercial Marine Exhibition, returning after Covid lockdowns prevented us from holding the show in 2021 and at the very last minute in 2020.

This year, we are holding two separate half-day conferences – one for Hybrid and Electric Propulsion, the other for USVs – so first of all, huge thanks to all our sponsors and partners, chairmen and speakers, with special mentions going to our Hybrid Gold sponsor, MJR Power & Automation, and sponsor BMT. Secondly, I’d just like to mention that it’s my first Seawork as editor of Maritime Journal, and I really look forward to meeting all of you over the three days and talking to you about how you see the maritime sector – the challenges it faces, the direction of travel, and the opportunities.

Opportunities that are emerging not least in the Uncrewed Service Vessel (USV) sector as well as hybrid and electric propulsion, both to which we have devoted two separate halfday conferences. It makes sense to combine hybrid and electric technologies in one of the conferences, which we are doing for the first time.

The people we speak to believe unmanned vessels will be key to achieving the net-zero targets that the maritime sector is chasing. But is it realistic in the short term, especially where navigating regulations is concerned?

We are delighted to welcome experts and company representatives to talk about what they’re doing to grow the role of USVs and how it will help reduce emissions from shipping by at least 50% by 2050 – and to help guide us through an inevitable swathe of new rules accompanying these innovations, the MCA’s Dr Katrina Kemp will take attendees through what is being addressed in this area.

And it’s not just about the green challenge: we will look at how safety is being improved with USV technology and eliminating the need for mariners to risk their own lives saving others. The USV event will be on the morning of June 22.

For the Hybrid & Electric Propulsion half-day event on June 23, two separate sessions will look at just how they combine: in the first session, real-world implementation of hybrid & electric propulsion solutions; and in the second, a panel discussion on which is better for ‘greening the fleet’ – hybrid, or full electric – and the issues with both.

Noel Tomlinson, the BMT & SMI Workboat Working Group Lead, will open the conference and chair the panel discussion.

Tap into our impressive range of speakers and experts, and while it would be impossible to cover everything in the two half-day events, there will be plenty of opportunities throughout Seawork to network and make contacts who we know will be valuable to you long after the doors close.

Enjoy!

Chairman’s Welcome Letter

Dear Delegate, Welcome to the Seawork Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) Conference.

Thankfully we are now in a position to meet in person once again. You will see that the sector for Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USV’s) has rapidly evolved in the past couple of years.

This conference session will focus on some landmark areas of progress, whether that is the launch of new fleets of USV’s to market, the use of USV’s for alternative business cases (for example offshore rescue), operation of USV’s for routine offshore work (the new ‘normal’) and importantly, the Regulation and frameworks to support and enable safe operation of USV’s in the maritime workspace.

We hope this session will provide you with a realistic, optimistic and ‘enabling’ understanding of the maturity of the USV market and supporting regulation. There is no better time to consider the use of USV’s for your maritime operations!

Yours sincerely Dr. Peter Collinson Founder, Dendrityca Ltd.

Conference Paper

Turning Strategy to Reality: The future has arrived The offshore industry is undergoing a remote and autonomous revolution. Building on its innovations in robotics, remote operations and real-time data analytics & advice, Fugro is transitioning to a new way of working, providing sustainable solutions for a safer and more liveable world.

For Fugro, sustainable business means that we continuously rethink what we do and how we do it. We turned to our own operations and set an objective to reach net zero by 2035, covering all carbon emissions from operations (scope 1 and scope 2 emissions). Our USVs play a significant role in reaching this future state, teaming up with our clients to deploy these vessels and together reducing our carbon footprint is a critical component in reaching this objective.

The start of our journey to a safe and sustainable future started 15 years ago with the launch of our first remote operations service. Since then, the build of our fleet of USVs is ongoing and the first vessels are now performing projects for clients across the world.

Consciously working together with authorities and our clients, we’re carefully developing our remote and autonomy portfolio to ensure technology readiness and maturity with each step.

Today, we have established a global network of remote operations center (ROC) and building our ninth USV, the 18 m Blue Eclipse.

By 2025, our fleet will be comprised of USVs in various sizes, capable of executing geophysical surveys, light geotechnical investigations, UXO ID&C and asset inspections, all operated and controlled via a secure high band width ship-2-shore satellite connection from one of our ROCs. In the session, we elaborate on the journey towards a NetZero future. We share how we’ve shaped the exciting adventure of turning strategy into innovations and ultimately into commercial solutions, and we reflect on some of the technical and operational challenges that we have encountered in this transformation of the maritime industry.

Speaker

ANDY TOURELL Head of Sustainable Logistic, Ocean Infinity

BIOGRAPHY With an MSc in Oceanography, 15 years directing global campaigns and events, managing associated global logistics and, as a certified sustainability professional, Andy joined Ocean Infinity in September 2021 as Head of Sustainable Logistics fusing these experiences, values and skillsets.

13

Conference Paper

Ocean Infinity is a technology company that is transforming operations at sea for the better of people and the planet.

The company is powering a transformational alternative to traditional operations at sea to dramatically reduce environmental impacts. Through the use of remote and robotic technology, Ocean Infinity provides a low-emission, safer alternative to traditional, high-emission operations.

14

Today, Ocean Infinity operates a hybrid model of robotics alongside fuel-efficient conventional vessels.

But the company has already begun the transition to a greener, cleaner fleet with the development of hybrid and ammonia powered uncrewed and ‘optionally crewed’ robotic ships, ‘Armada’.

Conference Paper

Next generation operations at sea Ocean Infinity envisages a time, in the not too distant future, where remote and lean-crewed operations at sea, will overtake conventional crewed operations. Robotic transportation, mobility, load handling and huge scale robotic data collection will become the norm.

Remote control centres

Ocean Infinity is developing the technological infrastructure to provide an overarching operational environment to facilitate safe, secure and effective remote operations and data collection, storage, processing and analytics, on a global scale.

By integrating all of the individual equipment control systems, navigation sensors and data, Ocean Infinity’s operators will have a one-world view of operations at sea in a real-time, digital environment. This will truly unlock the next generation of at sea operations.

15

Ocean Infinity’s custom developed Remote Control Centres bridge their human operators with their various robotic platforms. The first of several global Remote Control Centres is located in Southampton, UK, from which the company’s robotic vessels and equipment will be controlled and supervised over satellite links.

From the custom operator consoles, Ocean Infinity’s mariners and data acquisition specialists will safely and efficiently harvest vast quantities of ocean data, and navigate from point to point.

While operations from the Remote Control Centre will comply with existing maritime laws and safety rules, they will set the standard for a new way of working.

Conference Paper

Armada

The Armada ships are a fleet of custom-designed robotic ships that will revolutionise offshore data acquisition, intervention tasks and logistics.

The ships will be available as both uncrewed and lean-crewed variants, wholly or partially operated via dedicated and redundant satellite communication to enable true over the horizon capability on a global scale. All command and control communication will take place in real time, with data also brought back to one of several, globally located, remote control centres, for live QC and pre-processing. The ships in the Armada fleet range from 21m to 85m in length and will be equipped with some of the highest specification sensors and equipment available.

The 21m and 36m variants are being designed to work in an uncrewed capacity from the outset. All supervision, command, control and piloting of both the vessel and any deployed payloads will take place remotely, utilising 4G/5G connectivity, and satellite communications for over the horizon work around the world. Should the need arise, the smaller Armada vessels also have the ability to sustain a lean-crew for short periods, or allow command and control to be undertaken from a support vessel should maritime regulations or client requirements dictate localised control.

With 23 ships currently on order for delivery before 2025, the Armada fleet will completely change the way the world works at sea. Each vessel is equipped with a full suite of hydrographic and geophysical survey sensors, and all classes of Armada ship can deploy work-class remotely operated vehicles for subsea inspection, maintenance and repair. The larger ships in the fleet will deploy geotechnical and salvage equipment to support Ocean Infinity’s projects around the world. Bespoke launch and recovery systems on board each vessel facilitate remote controlled deployment and recovery, ensuring robust and repeatable action to maximise efficiency and data quality.

16

Conference Paper

Smaller USVs

As well as larger robotic ships, the Armada fleet also comprises smaller uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). With a fleet of ten sub-9m USVs, capable of operation as standalone units, or as force multipliers from a larger ship, Ocean Infinity are capable of providing remote and uncrewed hydrographic support to projects around the world.

The 78m and 85m ships will have a permanent marine crew offshore for watchkeeping and vessel maintenance, but with planned personnel levels between 6-12 people, this still represents a dramatic reduction in offshore exposure hours. Even in this case, all payload control, vehicle piloting and data handling will take place remotely, supported by remote operations centres around the world.

Both the Seaworker8 and DriX USVs are proven platforms for hydrographic and geophysical data acquisition using fixed-head sensors such as dual-head multibeam echosounders or sub-bottom profilers. With easily changeable and configurable payloads, they are well suited to a wide range of tasks, including survey, environmental research, seismic support and security.

17

Conference Paper

AUVs Ocean Infinity has the largest fleet of deep-water autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in the commercial world. A current pool of fourteen Kongsberg Hugin 6000 vehicles, with six Kongsberg Hugin 3000 systems currently on order, gives Ocean Infinity the ability to provide rapid seabed mapping in the most complex areas on a global scale.

Ocean Infinity has pioneered fleet AUV operations, with the deployment of up to eight vehicles simultaneously from one support vessel, all working together to acquire complex datasets over huge areas in reduced timescales.

This significantly reduces operational emissions, time spent offshore and offshore personnel requirements, improving project HSE and lifecycle costs, but requires careful mission planning and parameter optimisation.

The AUVs are equipped with multibeam echosounders, sidescan and syntethtic aperture sonars, sub-bottom profilers, turbidity sensors, conductivity and temperature sensors and magnetometer equipment. HD stills cameras and laser scanners are also used to provide additional seabed imagery. Owing to some proprietary battery technology, Ocean Infinity’s Hugin 6000 AUVs can operate longer mission lengths than standard systems, with up to 90hrs operational capability on a single charge.

18

The advantages of AUV surveys over conventional operations are clear: • • •

• • •

Low noise, hydrodynamically stable platform for payload sensors High manoeuvrability to provide terrain following and a turning radius of <15m Operator supervised acoustic ‘handshakes’, with semi-autonomous or autonomous mission planning DVL-aided inertial navigation systems Up to 90hrs endurance at 3-5 knots Highly flexible configuration and integration of a wide range of sensors

The flexibility of the payload system allows us to incorporate different sensor configurations on a mission-by-mission basis.

Conference Paper

ROVs

The Saab Seaeye Leopard will be the workhorse of the Armada 21 and Armada 36 fleet, and will be deployed through the vessel moonpools for inspection and light intervention tasks.

The larger ships in the Armada fleet will be equipped with the new Saab eWROV vehicles. These new systems are the most capable and intelligent all-electric work class vehicles in the world.

With 11 thrusters and forward thrust of over 500kgf, the vehicles have a payload capacity of 200kg, making them ideal for survey and inspection work. A large, open payload space within the chassis allows for installation of bespoke trays for survey sensors or tooling options. A wide range of universal skids for the Leopard give extra versatility to the vehicle, enabling it to work in the harshest environments at depths of up to 3000m.

19

Conference Paper

Material handling

With the suite of smart load handling and robotics equipment Ocean Infinity can serve a wide range of lifting operations. By offering equipment within operations ship-to-ship, subsea or ship-to-fixed Ocean infinity are able to address all handling operations in the entire chain from shelf to shelf.

The control system takes advantages of the best technology from all industries and merges it together into a state-ofthe-art system for marine and offshore handling operations. Add ons like Digital Twin and PdM systems enable ease of operational planning, reduced down-time and maintenance cost, including faster and safer operations.

20

Conference Paper

Data analytics

Ocean Infinity has developed a series of artificial intelligence and machine learning software tools to support data analytics and delivery, allowing the company to provide answers to those who need them in the most efficient way possible, and increasing the usefulness of the data products it develops.

Automated processing workflows ensure that Ocean Infinity’s team of specialists are utilised to provide expert interpretation and insight, and that computer machine learning takes care of the more simple data processing tasks. In addition, in-house development of data visualisation software tools allows the display and interrogation of complex 3D datasets, adding greater depth to the information gained from the data the company acquires.

Real-time analysis and data analytics allow decisions to be made earlier in the project lifecycle, and in many cases can allow vessels or vehicles to be re-tasked whilst still offshore, enabling the next phase of investigation to be carried out in a single mobilisation. This relies on efficient data management, all run through an advanced cloud-based enterprise IT infrastructure.
