SeaRoc Group has launched a communications and logistic data system called SeaHub to help improve links with offshore wind farms that are being built increasingly further from land.
SeaHub, which incorporates SeaRoc’s SeaPlanner software, consists of unmanned, mobile containers that house equipment for communications and logistical data sharing for far offshore projects, the company said.
It added that the system was deployed for the first time at an offshore wind farm in the UK earlier this year.
“Typically a radio based communications system will cover a radius of 20 miles from its transmitter/receiver,” SeaRoc said.
“If this is located onshore, it drastically limits effective communication capabilities, essential for project efficiency and personnel safety.”
The SeaHub system, on the other hand, is mobile, which means it can cover a radius of 20 miles from wherever the container is installed, such as onboard a guard vessel, on an offshore platform or at remote land-based locations, SeaRoc said.
