OrbisEnergy tenant and Norwegian technology company Vissim AS has won a contract to provide a system designed to optimise marine operations on the Moray West wind farm offshore Scotland.

Under the contract, Vissim will provide its marine optimisation and planning software for the offshore wind farms, including certification and induction management, permit to work, and vessel and personnel tracking within Vissim’s real-time decision support framework that includes working weather windows and warning management options, all delivered on Ocean Winds cloud infrastructure.

“Marine optimisation systems enable wind farm developers to minimise construction and operating risk and to lower costs and environmental footprint. They do this by supporting the optimal use of personnel, vessels, and other assets, taking external factors such as weather and wave height into account. Vissim systems have been designed to improve the safety and cost-efficiency of all marine operations,” said Nicholas Dent, Managing Director of Global Wind at Vissim.
