Forum Energy Technologies's Dynacon business line, a manufacturer of launch and recovery systems (LARS) and Scantrol, an Active Heave Compensation (AHC) control systems supplier, are joining forces to offer AHC functionality to new and existing customers.
As the industry continues to evolve, with increased emphasis on operational risk mitigation and value creation, AHC functionality is fast becoming a standard requirement. “We evaluated the marketplace for available and compatible systems, and are very happy to have put an agreement in place with Scantrol as our preferred provider and partner,” said Mark Brookes, vice president, Products and Services at Forum Energy Technologies.
“From our experience we know that the client can operate more cost-efficiently when integrating this functionality by increasing the weather window, reducing the damage of equipment and the burden of the ROV crew,” said Rolf Krogh Hjelmeland, Business Development Manager for AHC at Scantrol.
Forum said that many existing Dynacon systems can be retrofitted to have AHC with little or no adjustment.
