AMARCON

Bridging the gap between research and maritime operations

Next week, one of the world's largest shipping exhibitions and conferences will be held in Oslo, Norway. It is therefore time to give you an update on the latest developments of the OCTOPUS software, which will be demonstrated in the boots of different companies at the exhibition.

After a long period of strong focus on structural and safety issues from the operator's point of view, OCTOPUS has now been extended with a comfort module to give guidance on minimization of the risk of motion sickness as well. This new release will be demonstrated at the exhibition (see separate Nor-Shipping-links).

Combination of Meteo Consult’s SPOS and OCTOPUS has resulted in the most advanced voyage planning tool currently available. Find out how easy it is to forecast and optimize the seakeeping performance of your ship! Twaves.behahviour onboard.
