      Marlink provides smart network tech to SeaOwl’s remotely operated service

      Staff Reporter by Staff Reporter
      September 10, 2020

      The ROSS project aims to bring down the cost of operations by remotely controlling a vessel from shore, with potential application to other civilian and military craft.

      Provider of smart network solutions Marlink is providing a special purpose highly resilient satellite network solution for the Remotely Operated Service at Sea (ROSS) project developed by offshore services operator SeaOwl.

      SeaOwl successfully demonstrated the concept to strategic partners including French energy major Total in September. The ROSS project aims to bring down the cost of operations by remotely controlling a vessel from shore, initially in the offshore sector with potential application to other civilian and military craft.

      The project has focussed first on achieving the regulatory acceptance needed to operate without a crew on board. This has involved close work with France’s Directorate of Maritime Affairs in order to secure the navigation license necessary for a demonstration voyage.

      Marlink and SeaOwl held several engineering workshops to create a highly resilient and redundant connectivity and control system comprising a Sealink VSAT system with three antennas, dual satellite feeds and dual below decks equipment. The system features a customised dashboard interface for the ROSS system to monitor link key performance indicators including latency, jitter and throughput.

      The installation is built on a backbone of state-of-the-art technology and leverages Marlink’s expertise in cybersecurity and network resilience, working closely in co-operation with Bureau Veritas ensuring compliance to meet statutory requirements.

      With regulatory approval in place, SeaOwl plans to make its first vessel orders and ultimately build around 20 remotely operated, electrically powered ships between 2023 and 2028, which will be used for underwater inspections of oil and gas fields and wind farms.

      “Unlike an autonomous vessel, the vessel’s crew will pilot the ship from land to achieve cost savings and minimise a range of operational risks safer operations,” says SeaOwl CEO Xavier Genin. “There are already remote-controlled or autonomous military ships, but we are the first to obtain the ‘grey card’ which gives us permission to sail as a merchant navy vessel.”

      “Our cutting edge Satcom engineering expertise and intelligent hybrid network that enables the digitalisation of our customers’ remote operations makes Marlink a natural partner for the most innovative projects in the industry,” says Erik Ceuppens, Marlink Group CEO. “Our focus on close cooperation and co-creation with our customers enables us to go above and beyond in delivering solutions that meet the most demanding operating environments.”
