DongBang & OHT deploys Amarcon's OCTOPUS system onboard

TWO Korean heavy freight vessels and a Norwegian heavy lift cargo ship are to deploy OCTOPUS-Onboard vessel advisory solutions provided by Amarcon, a subsidiary of ABB.

Amarcon will deliver OCTOPUS-onboard systems and motion monitor systems (TMS-3) to DongBang's Giant No 2 and Giant No 3, providing the crews with support for route planning and speed optimisation, reported the digital ship online.



The company is also extending its relationship with Norwegian oil service company OHT, deploying OCTOPUS motion monitoring and forecasting on the M/V Albatross. 



"We have deployed the OCTOPUS technology across our fleet to improve the safety and efficiency of critical heavy lift transportation operations," OHT's project engineer, Bertil Rognes, was quoted as saying.



"It was therefore a logical step to also equip the newest edition in our fleet, the M/V Albatross, with this system."



Additionally, OHT and DonBang will have access to Amarcon's online reporting tool, OCTOPUS-Online, which will allow them to download and display all measured motions and accelerations that are collected from their respective vessels.
