Danish shipping company Esvagt is implementing Shoreline’s Maintsys O&M simulation programme in order to help optimise operations at existing offshore wind farms and provide more precise calculations for new projects.
Esvagt said calculations and facts from Maintsys provides a solid platform for deciding on the best strategy for O&M of wind turbines, in relation to the best use of the company’s SOV as mothership, workshop, spare part storage, accommodation and office facility.
“Output from the simulation programme will be used in the dialogue with customers and give valuable guidance on the most cost-efficient O&M solutions,” the company said.
Esvagt business development manager Ole Ditlev Nielsen said: “We constantly strive to optimise and develop our concept to ensure efficient and profitable operations for our customers. The simulator programme will make us even better at doing that.”
The simulator will also help to Esvagt with future projects.
“We will be able to back up our bids for service tenders with calculations and facts – both for existing offshore farms and for new projects, whether they be standalone solutions, combinations with other offshore wind farms, cluster concepts or many other options,” said Nielsen.
