Kongsberg Maritime<\/a>. This ground-breaking achievement marks a significant milestone through collaboration between Kongsberg Maritime, REACH SUBSEA ASA, Massterly, and Trosvik Maritime.<\/p>\nDesigned to revolutionise offshore operations, the\u00a0REACH REMOTE 1\u00a0is packed with cutting-edge KONGSBERG technology. Its delivery follows a programme of intensive sea trials, overseen by classification society Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and the Norwegian Maritime Authority.<\/p>\n
Its initial mission will be to conduct underwater surveys off the coast of Haugesund, Norway, but its potential applications extend far beyond this. The second vessel,\u00a0REACH REMOTE 2\u00a0is now expected to begin sea trials.<\/p>\n
Bj\u00f8rg Mathisen D\u00f8ving, VP Reach Remote of REACH SUBSEA, said: \u201cReach Remote is an extraordinary journey, bringing together the unique expertise of Kongsberg Maritime, Reach Subsea, and Massterly shaping the future of uncrewed offshore operations. We are thrilled to see the\u00a0Reach Remote 1\u00a0set sail and prepared for its first mission.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kongsberg Maritime served as the prime contractor for this turnkey project, taking responsibility for vessel design, yard delivery, supply chain management, systems integration, and commissioning. The company\u2019s deep expertise in maritime technology was instrumental in bringing this innovative concept to life.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat began as a visionary idea has now become a tangible reality,\u201d said Lisa Edvardsen Haugan, President of Kongsberg Maritime. \u201cThe\u00a0REACH REMOTE 1USV is a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of maritime technology. We are proud to have partnered with REACH SUBSEA, Massterly and Trosvik Maritime on this pioneering project. As the world transitions towards more sustainable and efficient operations, this pioneering class of vessel is poised to play a vital role in shaping the future of offshore activities.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the sea trials the USV was monitored and controlled from a temporary, mobile Remote Operations Centre (ROC) located onboard a support vessel\u00a0Avant,\u00a0which stayed close by during several days of trials. When the USV starts pilot operations, Massterly, which is a joint venture between Kongsberg Maritime and Wilhelmsen, will control the USV from the land-based ROC in Horten, Norway.<\/p>\n
A key feature of the REACH REMOTE USV design is its ability to operate without a crew, controlled remotely from the ROC. This approach offers significant advantages in terms of operating costs, safety, and emissions, when compared to carrying out the same duties with a much larger, crewed vessel.<\/p>\n
To ensure the highest levels of safety and reliability, Kongsberg Maritime has incorporated proven technology into the vessel’s design. The company worked closely with Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and the Norwegian Maritime Authority to navigate the unique regulatory challenges associated with uncrewed vessels.<\/p>\n
Increased remote and autonomous functionality will be gradually introduced in a stepwise approach pending technology readiness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
