Satisfied Dockwise orders OCTOPUS-Onboard for Yacht Express

Dockwise has placed the order for OCTOPUS-Onboard for her Yacht Express vessel. The ordered system integrates Motion Monitoring, Weather Forecasting, Vessel Response Prediction and Heavy Weather Decision Support to create maximum decision and cost awareness for the operating crew of the Yacht Express. This latest order can be seen as another result of the ongoing and historical relationship between Amarcon and Dockwise. The first Octopus-Onboard system was installed on the Dockwise semi-submersible heavy transport vessel TransShelf in 2006.

The Yacht Express was added to the Dockwise fleet in May 2007. This specialized ship is used for the transportation of yachts of any class. By letting in ballast water until the main deck is submerged to a critical depth, this allows the yachts to sail aboard. Dockwise operates the largest fleet of specialized vessels in the world: a versatile fleet of 20 semi-submersible, heavy transport vessels of different concepts and designs.

With the installation of OCTOPUS-Onboard, Dockwise obtains clear benefits regarding efficiency and safety matters for her Yacht Express vessel. For more information about Amarcon products for various markets within the maritime industry, please visit: www.amarcon.com
