According to the companies, during the operations, the Blue Essence USV and the Blue Volta eROV were remotely controlled via satellite link by operators in Fugro’s remote operation centers (ROC) in the Netherlands and Aberdeen.

The data collected during the operation was accessed in real time by the companies, allowing for greater control over the integrity of TAQA Netherlands’ assets.

Moreover, the unmanned integrity inspection of TAQA’s offshore assets and pipelines in the Dutch North Sea resulted in 95% less CO₂ emissions.

It required only 5% of the usual amount of fuel, thus minimizing the emissions of the pollutant gas.

René Zwanepol, Country Manager of TAQA Netherlands, highlighted the company’s satisfaction with the success of the offshore operation.

He also stated that this is definitely the way forward for future campaigns. The innovative approach could ensure the success of several future inspection campaigns.

With the use of Blue Essence USV, Fugro will be able to expand the quality of operation for TAQA Netherlands to many other companies in the offshore sector.
