REAL-TIME TRACKING OF VESSELS AND PEOPLE 

Being able to track people and vessels in real time isn't a nice-to-have in offshore operations, it's an absolute need-to-have. Read on to learn more about the tracking functionalities and capabilities that are essential for optimising marine coordination around wind farms.

Why is tracking important? 

An accurate overview of people, vessels and helicopters in or near offshore sites is crucial to both safety and efficiency in marine coordination around wind farms. 

What can you do? 

Ensure a central, intuitive and reliable vessel traffic management system with always up-to-date plans and tracking of people and assets.  

 

    

For marine coordinators, efficiency is key, and juggling multiple applications to carry out tasks wastes time and increases the risk of human errors. Also, for many marine coordinators, transferring crew members between vessels and turbines still requires time consuming calls via voice radio which would become redundant with digitalized people tracking. Therefore, a central and intuitive digital platform that integrates information about people, assets and plans is preferable.  

Providing a digital and real-time situational overview for marine coordinators also minimizes risks of operational disruptions, as you can set up warnings to go off when e.g. guard zones are close to being breached. This gives coordinators an opportunity to act proactively and avert errors and potential risks to safety before they occur. 

 

I need to be sure that plans and information coming from the marine coordinator are precise and on time. This reduces the risk of errors and misunderstandings - and ensures that we maintain high safety and stay on schedule

A shared and always updated situational picture for coordinators and captains isn’t just crucial because the cost of disruptions to operations is high. 

In emergency situations, it is vital to have one-click access to people and vessel locations, letting you create new transfer plans instantly and ensure that everyone at sea gets home safely.

A reliable overview of people and assets not only ensures a cost-efficient tool for maintaining HSE compliance, it also provides data for optimal utilisation of resources. Tracking technologies such as RFID swipe cards, mobile solutions and the capability to develop customised solutions can help optimise this parameter.
