Amarcon

Amarcon is the creator of OCTOPUS, a suite of hard- ware and software products that form a unique solu- tion for the improvement of safety and efficiency for ships operating at sea. This leading to significant cost reductions for the industry. OCTOPUS-Onboard is a state-of-the-art modular decision support system for ships and other floating structures. Shipping compa- nies and offshore contractors have used OCTOPUS-

Onboard since 2003 for route and operation planning and optimization of speed, heading and fuel consump- tion in every weather condition. One of the extensions within OCTOPUS-Onboard is the Dynamic Positioning capability forecast function, DP for short. The OCTO-

PUS-DP functionality gives offshore vessels the possi- bility to make optimum use of a safe time window for their weather-sensitive operations. Where traditional

DP systems try to keep the vessel’s position during an offshore operation, OCTOPUS-DP takes it one step fur- ther. A forecast is given if the vessel is capable of maintaining her position and heading in changing envi- ronmental and weather conditions, hours and days ahead. With DP capability the crew can easily see if it is sensible and efficient to start or go on with the oper- ation at sea. The benefits are clear: A clear and com- plete indication of the operational windows for weath- er-sensitive operations at sea, Better and efficient preparation and execution of projects, Less damages and stress to the vessel, Optimal use of man and machine in a safe environment, leading to significant cost reductions.
