PlanSea is a spin-out company from Robert Gordon University and holds the exclusive licence for the world-leading marine logistics artificial intelligence technology developed by the University.
It has developed a suite of software aimed at providing the Offshore Marine Logistics sector with sophisticated voyage reporting/operational control, fleet planning, and vessel scheduling tools. It also provides consultancy services, identifying and delivering solutions to client specific needs.
The UK annual marine logistics spend is c.£250 million, and there is opportunity for greater efficiency and collaboration which could see a reduction in emissions and costs of up to 40 per cent.
Until now, operators have not had access to leading edge technology to help them with this highly complex and costly task. PlanSea has answered this call and collaboration can now be facilitated by the software tools the company has developed.
Deployment of the software across UKCS is close and a global roll-out is planned to follow. There is great potential for synergy with offshore renewables and PlanSea is already working on this as part of the energy transition. Additionally, collaborative plug and abandon activity potentially offers a new optimisation application for PlanSea’s technology.
