UTC - Underwater Technology Conference’s Post

Subsea drone Hydrone-R from Saipem is currently operating on Equinor's Njord Field development project offshore Norway, and has achieved the milestone for continuous subsea residency of 167 days. 🌊 The project, for which Saipem’s Hydrone-R is deployed, is part of a ten-year contract signed in 2019 with Equinor. The drone is tasked to carry out inspections and interventions on subsea assets. 💡 This means it is providing valuable information about potential hazards and ultimately improving the overall integrity and safety of Equinor’s subsea systems. ⚓️ The Hydrone-R had been operating uninterruptedly for nearly six months, performing remotely operated works as well as autonomous missions. Saipem's onshore control centre, located in Stavanger, Norway, is fully supervising the operations via the communication link to the rig: Saipem’s drone pilots can either command the Hydrone-R or upload purposely designed missions onboard the vehicle for autonomous tasks. 🔗 Find out more >> https://hubs.la/Q02wD-yM0 The Hydrone-W will supplement Hydrone-R for tandem operations and simultaneous underwater works necessary to serve the entire Njord field. This makes the Hydrone Program a veritable game changer for the offshore energy industry, resulting in lower costs and a reduced carbon footprint while improving safety and operational efficiency. 👏 Read more on the Ocean Science & Technology website. #subsea #technology #inspection #rov #automation

Advanced composites manufacturer Quickstep Group has secured new orders and collaborations with drone customers, spurring a major expansion of its Drone Aerostructures and Payloads business. The company said it had received a follow-on order for 20 Volanti aircraft from drone company Carbonix following its delivery of an order for 40 Volantis worth $1.35 million in June. The new order for the 3.6m VTOL Power Lift drone which carries out rapid aerial survey of infrastructure such as electrical transmission lines is valued at approximately $430,000. In other developments Quickstep revealed the finalisation of a $925,000 space grant from the Commonwealth Department of Industry, Science and Resources (DSIR) under the Moon to Mars initiative. This grant is part of a broader $1.3 million development programme. #manufacturing #australianmanufacturing #aerospace #composites #ASX

It's fascinating to watch the rapid advancement in the development of autonomous seabed solutions over recent years. It will be interesting to see how the commercial terms will evolve as more end users acknowledge and embrace the maturity of such technology.

🗞 Last week saw the launch of a new drone transport service in the Port of Antwerp, providing swift transportation of petrochemical analysis samples from the port to the laboratory. This new solution, SAMPLIFLY, is a collaboration between ADLC (A Drone Logistics Company), SGS, a global leader in testing, inspection and certification and BASF Antwerpen NV and is the result of a Demonstration Project developed under the European Space Agency - ESA’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) programme. The successful autonomous drone flight is the first of its kind to have been carried out in Europe. Arnaud RUNGE, lead technical officer from ESA on the SAMPLIFLY project said, “We are delighted with the success of SAMPLIFLY’S first flight this week. This technology has the potential to transform the way ports manage such shipments, offering a swift and cost-effective solution which can greatly reduce the environmental impact of port logistics.” Read the full story ➡ https://lnkd.in/e9XUXFty 📷 ADLC Port of Antwerp-Bruges #PortLogistics #PetrochemicalAnalysis #DroneTransportation #DroneLogistics #PortofAntwerp
