In an industry with day rates which can average EUR 300,000 for an offshore installation vessel or even more than EUR 400,000 for a drillship, just 10 minutes downtime can result in significant costs and operational delays.
Huisman understands that maximising uptime is key. To perform reliable and cost-effective operations, everything has to run smoothly and efficiently. But we all know that despite meticulous planning and preparations, things can go wrong when performing complex industrial processes.
In this paper, we consider Huisman’s On-site Support services. These services, incorporating the three steps of efficient inspection & maintenance schedule, new tooling, and analysis & prediction, maintain the optimal performance of Huisman equipment for maximal uptime and reduced costs over the lifetime.
As monopile foundations to support offshore wind turbines grow in size, the underwater noise levels during installation also increase. Accurate prediction of these high noise levels is essential for designing effective noise-cancelling devices, which mitigate negative impacts on marine life. Since evaluating noise levels during full-scale monopile installation is time-consuming and expensive, researchers are exploring small-scale tests.
With its services, Huisman ensures top-notch support for its clients throughout the equipment lifecycle. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), the company is in prime position to achieve this, leveraging its deep understanding of the equipment to provide high-quality services. This includes On-site Support for inspection, maintenance, training, and emergency response, conveniently bringing expertise to clients when and where they need it.
