Miros and Marine Technologies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to integrate Miros’ advanced sensor technologies into Marine Technologies’ vessel control systems on cruise ships, ferries and other vessels.
The partnership combines Miros’ expertise in wave, current and oil spill detection technologies with Marine Technologies foothold in vessel control systems and offshore operations. Miros’ Wavex systems will be pre-integrated with Marine Technologies’ dynamic positioning (DP) systems, so they can be activated on demand.
“This agreement marks the beginning of what we believe will be a transformative partnership for both companies,” said Marius Five Aarset, CEO of Miros. “Marine Technologies has a remarkable track record in vessel control and, by combining their systems expertise with our sensor technology, we can efficiently bring powerful new capabilities to vessel operators worldwide. Driving safer, more efficient, and more sustainable offshore operations is core to Miros’ being, and this MoU further solidifies that mission.”
The partnership could lead to future cooperation in vessel performance optimisation and offshore wind operations. It also covers the distribution of advanced WaveSystem and Oil Spill Detection solutions through Marine Technologies’ channels.
“Our companies share a passion for innovation, a drive to deliver real operational value and with this MoU we now have a framework in place to quickly deliver technology that will reshape the way offshore operations are conducted,” said Jan Mikalsen, CEO of Marine Technologies. “The potential we see here, especially when it comes to integrating real-time sea-state data with DP and performance systems, is enormous and I can’t wait to see this partnership bear fruit.”
