Aptomar officially opened its “Aptomarin” marine control center in Trondheim, Norway. The 24/7 field monitoring operation is available to offshore oil companies operating in the main oil and gas hubs around the world.
To operate the new marine control center, a group of experienced master mariners with extensive maritime and nautical experience has been added to Aptomar’s team. Together, the team has more than 100 years’ experience from offshore support vessels, drill rigs, fire brigade, navy, coast guard and oil and gas transportation.
The technical building blocks of the marine control center include radar-based oil, ice and object tracking systems, AIS (automatic identification system) vessel tracking and Aptomar’s TCMS – a tactical collaboration and management system for oil spill detection and combating, search and rescue and firefighting. The center also taps into aerial and satellite radars and cameras, wind and weather data, on-site radars and communicate with offshore assets via VHF radio to secure the safest possible offshore operating environment.
Aptomar already provides field monitoring and oil spill services for several companies, including BG Group at their Knarr field on the Norwegian continental shelf, where Aptomarin has been operational since February 2015.
