EDF Renewables has chosen Reygar to optimise the management of its vessel operations servicing its offshore wind farms.
Reygar’s BareFLEET system has been fully commissioned on an EDF-chartered crew transfer vessel (CTV) working across EDF’s European offshore wind portfolio.
The BareFLEET software is able to collate in-depth health and performance data from across the vessel’s critical equipment to provide the CTV operator and EDF data-based insights to help ensure high levels of safety and vessel availability.
BareFLEET automatically monitors the health and performance of all critical equipment across each vessel, including the engine itself, fuel consumption, motion and impact on the turbine.
The data is transmitted to the onshore team and relevant stakeholders via the cloud.
The crew can also supplement BareFLEET’s digital reporting platform by manually inputting their observations in context, providing full visibility over activity on board the vessel and the factors that influence it.
Reygar managing director Chris Huxley-Reynard said: “By commissioning Reygar, EDF has invested in guaranteeing that the technicians who work on their projects are fit to work on arrival while the CTV operator can deploy this data to ensure vessel availability is maximized, allowing them to take on as many projects as possible.”
EDF Renewables area manager James Wilson added: “EDF is committed to deploying pioneering technology that will power Europe towards the achievement of its renewable energy goals – our partnership with Reygar is therefore a natural next step in that journey.
“We will be working directly with Reygar to collate enhanced high-frequency motion data for our own in-depth analysis, with the aim of increasing our understanding of how motion affects crew and technician comfort.”
