Bridging the gap between research and maritime operations |
|
We hope that 2004 has been as good for you as it was for Amarcon. Since the first onboard OCTOPUS installation in 2002, the number of installations has been doubled each year. In 2004 a major achievement was made onboard containerships and the first installation onboard a pipe laying vessel was realized. 2005 looks very promising as well, with new challenges ahead in the offshore, dredging, navy and yacht segment. We’d like to thank you all for the good co-operation last year and wish you all the best for 2005! |

In 2004, Allseas’ Lorelay has been equipped with OCTOPUS and Miros’ Wavex wave radar for onboard monitoring and forecast of the environment and vessel responses. |
|
Amarcon wishes you a prosperous 2005! |

Other news: The recent Windows-upgrade of SEAWAY has resulted in a significant growth of SEAWAY-users in 2004. During the past year, we welcomed the following new SEAWAY-users: Vuyk Engineering, Jan de Nul, Master Marine Denmark, Huisman-Itrec and the University of Szczecin. Several trial-installations have been distributed and we are looking forward to a co-operation with all of you. As independent experts in ship– and offshore hydrodynamics, Amarcon has recently carried out a study and software customization for the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management. Norwegian Rolls-Royce Marine awarded Amarcon the contract for an independent analysis of two seismic research vessels. This is the first contract of its kind in Norway since the foundation of Amarcon in 2000. |

In co-operation with the world’s largest ship operators, a classification society, metocean offices, manufacturers of loading computers, radars and navigation bridges, Amarcon has been successful to secure new contracts for 2005 to implement OCTOPUS onboard ships as the intelligent second opinion for the master of the ship in rough weather with respect to monitoring, route planning and route optimization. |
