Optimizing Offshore Wind Operations with BareFLEET Remote Monitoring System

The offshore wind industry is growing rapidly, with wind farms expanding into deeper waters and further from shore. To meet the increasing demand for efficient maintenance and operations, Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) are crucial in transporting technicians and equipment to turbines, even in challenging sea conditions. It is projected that up to 600 SOVs may be required by 2050 to meet the global industry demands. Recognizing the challenges faced by SOV operators, AST Reygar has introduced the BareFLEET remote monitoring system, designed to optimize SOV performance in real-time and provide valuable operational insights.

BareFLEET enhances efficiency and sustainability in SOV operations by delivering actionable insights on fuel consumption, emissions, vessel motion, gangway operability, and navigation activity. This detailed monitoring allows operators to make informed decisions to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact. Daniel Clark, Managing Director of AST Reygar, emphasizes that BareFLEET provides unparalleled monitoring of SOV performance, enabling operators to optimize vessel operations, ensure technician safety, and contribute to the offshore wind industry’s green energy goals.

Key features of BareFLEET include fuel consumption and emissions tracking, vessel motion monitoring, gangway operability insights, and comprehensive navigation analysis. By measuring various parameters and providing data on operational windows, BareFLEET ensures safe and efficient technician transfers, maximizes time-on-turbine, and streamlines operations. When deployed across SOVs and Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs), BareFLEET offers a unified view of wind farm operations, enabling operators to improve daily planning and refine long-term fleet optimization strategies. AST Reygar’s BareFLEET system is driving industry innovation by empowering operators with tools to address the challenges of offshore wind operations, focusing on precision, efficiency, and sustainability. It is poised to become an essential component of the offshore wind sector’s expansion.
