IoT sea state monitoring for offshore operators
Miros has been further expanding its real-time IoT wave and current monitoring solutions across the offshore segment.
During 2023 the company doubled the number of as-a-Service (aaS) contracts, which cover a diverse range of requirements across the offshore vessel market, thanks to strong growth in the UK, Norway and Brazil.
“We recognise that our success is intertwined with the broader goals of the maritime and energy industries; that is why our systems are designed to support wider industry objectives and contribute to a more sustainable market for all,” said Andrew Wallace, Miros’ VP Offshore Solutions.
”We are excited to see the impact that our high-quality offerings and supporting applications will have as we continue the journey towards a more sustainable future hand in hand with our customers.”
Real-time monitoring
The Miros WaveSystem offers offshore operators and regulators real-time measurements of the local sea state, as a viable and cost-effective solution for optimizing cable and pipe lay, offshore installations, heavy lift, IRM and drilling activities.
Real-time sea state data strengthens the overall decision-making system and provides invaluable insights, allowing conditions to be assessed, analysed, and documented to ensure they are also in line with contractual or technical limitations.
WaveSystem is increasingly utilised as a data feed to important onboard systems, like Dynamic Positioning Capability, packaged within survey data requirements, or as part of riser stress analysis and or asset life / asset integrity management.
The system integrates directional sea state measurements from Miros Wavex and motion-compensated wave measurements, along with draught data from DNV alpha-factor certified Miros RangeFinder, to deliver precise insight into oceanic conditions.
One of the key features is the ability to tailor real-time data to the specific requirements of operators, empowering them with a deeper understanding of their environment and optimal weather windows. This insight enables greater situational awareness, allowing operators to safely navigate challenges with confidence and precision.
