Solution

An operator on one of the production platforms faced increasing issues with an obsolete power management system. Semco Maritime was contracted to design and build a new system. The system was reverse- engineered and migrated to a modern Siemens system, featuring dedicated client and server HMIs. An onshore simulator was established, and a full Factory Acceptance Test was conducted before approving construction. The Semco Maritime team subsequently completed the offshore installation, commissioning and testing.
