Configuration / flexibility
Modular and adaptable design
Vessel capacities, well arrangements and mission equipment can be configured for different operations. The initial design can also incorporate provisions for later upgrades, including advanced decision support systems and autonomous operations.
Energy systems:
Flexible energy systems can accommodate future upgrades, including large battery installations and high-capacity shore power connections. Waste energy recovery systems can also be incorporated to improve overall energy utilisation.
Alternative energy carriers
The vessel can be designed for alternative energy carriers in liquid or gaseous form, or prepared for their future integration, depending on operational requirements.
