Field support Vessels

We have produced or reviewed many specifications for vessel designs, modifications and upgrades. Vessels considered include semi-submersibles, anchor handling vessels, field support vessels and supply boats.

We have earned the respect and recognition for our dedication to provide innovative and reliable marine electronics that ensure optimal operation at sea. By utilizing and integrating our technology, experience and competencies in positioning, hydro-acoustics, communication, control, navigation, simulation, and automation, we aim to give our customers The Full Picture. The Full Picture yields professional solutions and global services that make a difference enabling you to stay ahead of the competition.

The unique combination of navigation, maneuvering, dynamic positioning and automation opens a new dimension in vessel operation. We provide stand-alone and integrated solutions that are tailored to field support vessels, for retrofit and new building projects. Both products and integrated solutions are designed to meet individual vessel requirements, with dedicated functionalities that will further the operational efficiency. We design our systems and operator workstations with people in mind. Armed with the full picture of how operators interact with their environment, we have developed the best possible design for maximum safe and efficient operation.

Our ergonomic design blends the best abilities of the operators and the computer user interface for optimum performance, including well proven solutions that focus on marine operations, operational consistency and intuitiveness, and common technology.

Navigation and ship handling

Our integrated navigation bridge is not only embodied in form and color co-coordinated consoles, but offers a truly integrated and class compliant system with integrated navigation and maneuvering capabilities. The bridge is designed for one-man operation, with functionality that allows maximum time for observation and decision-making.

The navigation bridge equipment can be scaled to requirements and extended with bridge wing consoles, and a planning and survey centre.
