UK-based Exail has secured a contract with French maritime providers supplier Bourbon to provide a number of items of its Octans Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) for integration into Bourbon Subsea Services’s fleet.
These items can be put in on a number of Bourbon Evolution 800 Series multi-purpose help vessels (MPSVs) devoted to subsea operations at depths down to three,000 meters.
IMO-HSC licensed, the Octans AHRS will improve Bourbon vessels’ effectivity in set up, upkeep, and restore duties for the oil and gasoline, and offshore wind industries, in keeping with Exail.
Providing measurements for roll, pitch, and heave, Octans will function a survey-grade floor gyrocompass and movement sensor, built-in into the vessels’ Class 3 dynamic positioning (DP3) system.
This integration will guarantee exact positioning and stabilization over underwater buildings, making certain the protected deployment of cranes, remotely operated autos (ROVs), and supporting environment friendly survey and saturation diving operations.
“With the deployment of ROVs and the execution of complex subsea operations, DP3-type dynamic positioning is essential on our vessels. Additionally, to support survey services such as positioning, inspection, and metrology, a high level of specification demands the best-in-class motion sensors for safe operations,” stated Stephan Midenet, CEO of Bourbon Subsea Services.
“We are assured that the Octans AHRS, constructed on Exail’s trusted Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) expertise and already put in on hundreds of floor platforms worldwide, will meet expectations and rise to the problem of formidable initiatives within the oil and gasoline and offshore wind industries,” added Calixte Genin, Regional Sales Manager at Exail.
