ABB Ability™ OCTOPUS – Marine Advisory System Operational Planner offers first-of-its-kind capability to optimize remote maintenance of wind farm operations. The predictive software allows users ashore to plan offshore support vessel performance based on expected conditions.
Offshore support vessels typically operate close to their shore base with frequent trips to fixed assets, such as wind turbines at sea, which sets specific requirements to their ability to perform in demanding conditions. Moreover, as the vessels perform time-sensitive and demanding marine operations, planning is of utmost importance.
For support vessels moving between turbines or rigs during a single shift, OCTOPUS Operational Planner forecasts vessel workability across multiple sites, benefiting decisions on deployment, safety, efficiency and sustainability. Offshore fleet managers can rely on the system to optimize the performance of offshore support vessels, as well as the equipment and crew onboard.
