Future of offshore surveying

Wind Energy – OWF Survey

Ocean Infinity has completed a first of its kind offshore wind farm survey for Ørsted and PGE in the Polish sector of the Baltic Sea raising the bar for the future of marine surveying.

The project team based in Ocean Infinity’s Operations Centre in Gothenburg, used a multi-beam echo sounder (MBES) and 3D multi-channel ultra-high resolution seismic (3D-UHRS) equipment deployed from an Ocean Infinity Armada lean crewed vessel over 540 km to identify sub-surface boulders in support of the Baltica 2 project installation campaign for wind turbine generators (WTG) and offshore substation (OSS) locations.

“A conventional operation like this would require a much larger offshore team, significantly increasing operational risks and costs,” stated Sara Andersson, Project Manager at Ocean Infinity. “Moving operational control from the vessel to the office requires a completely new approach to operational management, coordination, and execution. The safe completion of this project with such a lean crew offshore yet again demonstrates our ability to deliver high-quality survey data using innovative technology.”

Key to the project’s success was the use of real-time remote data management. Ørsted and PGE operate on a 24-hour delivery schedule, necessitating data products to be produced within 24 hours of logging off. This can pose a challenge even on conventional vessels, where data is logged and processed on the same server.

With Ocean Infinity’s sophisticated remote data collection system, however, the survey data was accessible to the office based processing team within the same timeframe as an offshore team would expect, enabling us to meet Ørsted’s high expectations and deliver according to specification.
