Many prospective carbon storage sites are comprehensive system, including the Guardian vessel and located in either mature or retired oil and gas ?elds, and having a large number of wells at a site can increase the risk

The integration of Exail Hydrins INS enhances the sys- tem performance by providing precise positioning and mo- tion compensation, even on moving vessels. This enables the installation measurement system to take continuous measurements during the pile-driving process, guarantee- ing the correct positioning and stability of wind turbines in challenging offshore conditions.
