Collaborative Actions Between EM&I & DNV on AI & Asset Integrity

October 15th, 2024

EM&I and DNV workshop

In September, EM&I hosted a workshop with the DNV team to discuss their respective approaches to innovation. The teams will collaborate on several strategic initiatives to advance floating offshore wind (FoW) projects, inspection technologies, and AI-based solutions.

Evaluating the Insurance Market for FoW
EM&I initiated a meeting to address insurance challenges crucial for financing floating offshore wind (FoW) projects which will also include NIORD. Previous engagements with NIORD have emphasized the importance of insurance solutions for FoW development. This meeting aims to align on strategy and explore the potential for joint collaboration between DNV, EM&I, and NIORD.

SUSI Simulator Demonstration for EM&I
DNV agreed to showcase its Surveyor Simulator (SUSI) remotely to EM&I. This presentation aims to enhance EM&I’s understanding of SUSI’s capabilities in survey simulations.

Expanding the Scope of REDHUS Project
Discussions are underway to broaden the REDHUS project’s activities from autonomous Close Visual Inspection (CVI) to also include General Visual Inspection (GVI) and Deflection Measurement. However, DNV’s preliminary evaluation suggests limited feasibility, given the existing constraints including agreement among current partners to include new partners, lack of sponsorship for foreign partners, and the extended scope required for deflection studies.

Reviewing NoMan Deflection Studies with AI Potential
DNV has committed to reviewing EM&I’s NoMan Tank Deflection Test Plan to explore its applicability to artificial intelligence. Andrew Collard will oversee the coordination and will determine if AI can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of deflection measurements.

These collaborative actions highlight DNV and EM&I’s efforts to push the boundaries in offshore technologies AI-enabled inspections. These strategic alignments are essential for achieving sustainable growth in floating offshore wind and inspection innovation.

  • Tullow Ghana

    We have been largely impressed with the professionalism that characterised the overall delivery of the scope by EM&I and its local partner Stark Energy. The high safety standard exhibited from the onset, with no incident recorded, is highly commendable. The team’s desire to overcome every challenge was remarkable since this was a heavily weather-dependent scope.

  • Vestigo

    I would like to further extend our appreciation to EM&I on the success of FPSO Berantai hull repair works in December 2023, through the application of CLAM technology. This advanced technology application along with the highest level of resources’ expertise and teamwork shown throughout the activity, have resulted in a safe and successful outcome.

  • Shell

    I would like to pay special recognition to the EM&I boys for the pace at which they worked..... all this completed whilst working to the safety standards we demand and in a tank which was physically demanding due to the temperature of surrounding tanks

  • Repsol Sinopec

    This has been a big win from the point of view of safety with NO confined space entry and NO working at heights as well as the added benefit that
    four tanks were completed in just over two days!

  • MODEC

    I would like to thank EM&I for all their work in creating and negotiating the alternative UWILD plan. This is the first MODEC asset globally to have been granted an alternative to the traditional diver driven inspection work.

  • Ocean Rig

    Congratulations with your job well done and safely. It’s been a pleasure having you guys on board. I have to report that I really appreciate working with your team here on board, their positive and professional attitude was greatly appreciated

  • BW Offshore

    The approach taken by EM&I towards Health and Safety has been excellent and they proactively advise on improvements that could be made in this area. Having a trusted expert in this field who could highlight any areas of concern and make the required recommendations was of immense value to the operations. All in all it has been a productive visit and I have no hesitation in having the EM&I team back on board in the future.

  • Vantage

    Your excellent professional organization and great work results in the successful completion of this scope with the minimum down-time for the rig. Overall I was very impressed and couldn’t recommend your company highly enough to anybody who would ask.

  • ExxonMobil

    EM&I have been able to provide skilled, specialist personnel during every mobilisation, and in all cases, they have been outstanding. The work has been professionally done and the reporting of the highest quality. I would like to pass on my appreciation to everyone in EM&I involved in the job for their hard work and making the job very successful.

  • SBM Offshore

    This Project required exceptional vigilance in keeping personnel safe, EM&I did a very good job in a safe manner. They maintained high safety awareness and gave full cooperation among the ASOM team. This Project can be summarised in 4 words … preparation, verification, execution, documentation. EM&I scored top marks in all categories.
