Offshore Supply Vessel – Cost Efficiency in Harsh Conditions

Overview:
An offshore support vessel in the North Sea aimed to cut fuel costs and enhance safety in volatile weather conditions.

Challenge:
The vessel faced high fuel consumption and operational risks in unpredictable wind and sea states.

Solution:
WindtracX’s autonomous drone with advanced redundancy was deployed, allowing safe wind capture even during rough conditions.

Results:

  • Fuel cost reduced by 25%
  • System remained stable and operational in high winds
  • Reduced mechanical wear and tear
  • Crew reported smoother operations and increased safety confidence
