Crew transfer vessel (CTV) operator High Speed Transfers (HST) is deploying Reygar’s BareFleet monitoring system across its entire fleet in Europe, the US and Taiwan.
BareFleet automatically provides critical data into a single portal, giving operators full visibility over fleet activity, health and performance, monitoring the status of the engine, vessel motion and navigation.
HST has a partnership in place with Boston Line & Services in the US, which will see the business deliver crew transfer and logistical support to east coast offshore wind farms and the wider offshore energy sector.
Reygar’s system will monitor fuel consumption data, and may in future also be used to log nitrogen oxide emissions using specialist sensors, in order to meet market-specific requirements, such as Environmental Protection Agency Tier 4.
HST also has an agreement in place in Taiwan, with Dong Fang Offshore covering three CTVs and the roll-out of a training programme for local crews.
HST chief executive Tom Nevin said: “Reygar’s extensive heritage in marine engineering for renewables and offshore energy has enabled them to create an innovative and versatile system that has supported us in delivering operational best practice and transparency for our clients across Europe.
“We currently have BareFleet installed on each of our four Damen FCS 2710 vessels, having adopted Reygar’s system early on in order to build solid foundations for our commercial expansion.
“We have now signed memorandum agreements with partners in the US and Taiwan, and look forward to maintaining our high operational standards as we address the demands and opportunities of these emerging markets.”
Boston Line & Services commercial manager Rob Pearce said: “We were impressed with the obvious value added by the BareFleet system, and are very pleased that our agreement with HST will see this rolled out across our vessels.
“This level of reporting has not been seen in the US market so far, which will set a high bar for transparency and vessel performance optimisation going forward.”
Dong Fang Offshore commercial associate manager Cory Cheng said: “HST’s adoption of BareFleet means that we have been able to establish a relationship built on both operational transparency and strong results.
“The system will enable us to deliver high-quality, cost-effective support to the growing offshore wind market in Taiwan, without compromising on technical availability or safety.”
Reygar managing director Chris Huxley-Reynard said: “We are proud to support the expansion of HST into the global offshore energy market, and in turn helping to ensure that the highest operational standards can be maintained in the USA and Taiwan.
HST is demonstrating how BareFleet’s versatility and cost-effectiveness lends itself to a growing modern fleet of next-generation CTVs.”
