Offshore Energy (Oil, Gas, Wind)

Offshore vessels operate in environments where precise vessel control, high system availability and situational awareness are essential. From oil and gas operations to offshore wind, vessels must maintain safe and predictable performance while working around offshore assets and in changing environmental conditions.

Navis Engineering has been supplying the offshore industry with DP control systems for over 30 years. It remains a core part of our business. We deliver systems worldwide across PSVs, AHTS, Drill ships, Dive Support, ERRV, FiFi vessels and other specialised offshore vessels.

Challenges facing this segment

Why Navis Engineering for Offshore EnergyHigh situational awareness

Navis Engineering supports charts and asset plans mapped onto its charting system. With the increasing availability of scanning based sensors (Laser and Radar) Navis Engineering now support live scans to be mapped onto the DP chart allowing for maximum situational awareness whether looking out of the window or onto the screen.

Improved DPO productivity

Ease of use with multiple one button operations enables most DPOs to master the NavDP with ease. Functions such as footprint plotting in support of IMCA M 182 automate otherwise laborious tasks freeing up the DPO to take on additional duties such as gangway control.

Improved Vessel productivity

NavDP have been pioneers in high speed DP systems allowing operators to seamlessly switch between low speed manoeuvring and high speed transits. Developed for Wind Farm applications this feature is now finding purchase across the NavDP enabled fleet from Cruise ships wanting to move between sights to Superyachts “port crawling” up the Riviera.

Reducing Vessel wear

NavDP recognise their responsibility in keeping your vessel operational by avoiding unnecessary wear and tear. Control of your thrusters, propellors and rudders is a task we undertake with due attention to unnecessary wear. Features such as our smooth stopping control and optimisation of propeller pitch vs speed makes NavDP a favourite of the thruster community.

Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Ease of maintenance in challenged locations

Navis systems are built from commercial off the shelf components where possible giving our customers access to the widest spares market possible and making most repairs a case of plug and play with occasional remote support. Our business is outstanding vessel control and our worldwide service network exist in support of that.

Safest Operations

Fundamentally we recognise that our number one priority it to keep your vessel safe and working. It’s why we have pioneered cyber secure systems with resilient architecture and support for the widest sensory inputs. Our intuitive interfaces and features to minimise DPO and Navigator load have underpinned thirty years of successful system supply.

Here is what our customers and partners say about their experience.

”Being harbor maneuvers, sailing in narrow channels, anchoring in areas with strong wind or current, it operates flawlessly. Operations in JP modes are extraordinary and very convincing.”

Lars Thrane
Chairman, Lars Thrane A/S M.Sc.E.E., Ph.D.

”We are very happy with its operation, the system is very precise and performing in all its modes, The DPS system is fantastic, it works very well in both our propulsion modes, Diesel and electric.”

Giorgio Prato
S/Y KAURIS IV, Genova

”There are new Min Power Heading and Hold Area modes when vessel is on standby outside of installation’s 500m zone!”
