James Fisher Marine Services (JFMS) has been chosen to deliver marine coordination to orchestrate all offshore operations during the construction of the 950MW Moray East offshore project.
JFMS will provide Moray East, which is being built 22km off the coast of Scotland, with its offshore wind management system (OWMS) to deliver real-time data from various sources, together with the Wavecom trunked radio system, developed by Fern Communications.
Moray East project developer Marcel Sunier said: “This contract announcement marks an important milestone in the delivery of Moray East.
“Offshore wind projects are a complex choreography of many different disciplines and activities; therefore, communication and co-ordination are vital to safety and ultimately project success, and we look forward, with confidence, to working with James Fisher Marine Services.”
The OWMS will support Moray East over the entire construction period.
All activities will be managed from a local control room located in Fraserburgh and include personnel tracking, vessel coordination and weather, all tracked through the system’s single, simple interface.
