Valley Voice – a column where our cluster members are in focus. What are they doing right now? How are they contributing to the Energy Transition? And which challenges and opportunities lay ahead?
1. What are you doing right now?
Working with a project with the aim to increase safety onboard fishing vessels. Digitalisation in the maritime industry has the aim to increase efficiency and safety.
Almost 100 fishermen lost their life at sea in Norway during the last decade, many of them could have been saved if there was an emergency stop and alert solution in place.
2. How is Miko Innovation AS contributing to the Energy Transition?
Miko Innovation AS is contributing to the energy transition by searching and developing new products and solutions within several areas. Within the green energy transactions there are many new technical and commercial challenges to overcome.
For the last 6 months we have been examining and developing a solution for “real time monitoring of relative motions” during marine operations.
By increasing the weather window, significant cost are saved and safety increased. This is of particular interest for floating wind installation projects.
