Remote Underwater Operations complementing and assisting the Energy Transition – Offshore Europe

This event will be held during Offshore Europe at P&J Live Aberdeen.  You must register for Offshore Europe to attend this event.

Friday 5 September | 11:50-12:20 | Energy Transition Theatre, P&J Live

The maritime and underwater environment is changing with the adoption of remote operations through technological advancement. The continued growth of the offshore energy sector is uniquely positioned to capitalise on the capabilities of remote operations.

Remote crewing operations allow the opportunity for offshore personnel to be based onshore without reducing the offshore vessel’s functionality. Through strong and reliable control, communication and automation systems, this offers opportunities to remove humans from critical areas and reduce operational cost.

Uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) are increasingly capable of over the horizon activities and with this advancement in proven technology the demands on payload, vessel size and activities undertaken has correspondingly increased. USVs are now considered the solution of first choice in many applications.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have advanced considerably in recent years with commercial deployments undertaken by free flying vehicles on programmed missions and with residency solutions using tethered solution to complete missions without need to return to surface. The use of AUVs has mitigated the requirement for conventional support vessels to be deployed offshore to undertake the underwater activities.

Our speakers will share their latest technological capabilities and outline their visions for the future both near and long term.
