SeaPlanner will provide the Vessel & Traffic Management System (VTMS), which will be operated from the marine coordination centre based at Newhaven, and will be tracking coverage for the offshore site, the export cable route, construction base, and all vessels and teams at work in those locations.
Requirements for the project are to deploy, real-time, tracking of vessels and personnel within the development sites, surrounding areas and between the site and operational bases. This will be provided via SeaPlanner’s Operations Manager, Personnel Manager and Induction Manager modules, with personnel tracking fully integrated into the VTMS. SeaPlanner will also be responsible for the provision and installation of all equipment for the marine coordination centre. Located 13 kilometre off the Sussex Coast, the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm, being built by E.ON, the Green Investment Bank plc and Canadian Energy Company Enbridge, is a “Round 3” project that when complete will have a maximum export capability of 400MW and consist of 116 wind turbines.
