We are proud to announce that Vertech Group Pty Ltd, Geo Oceans, Sonomatic Limited and AUAV Drone Services and Data Solutions, have achieved a world-first: Completion of an entire Cargo Oil Tank Special Survey on an FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading units), using entirely remote robotic methods without any manned entry. This groundbreaking achievement spans our offices in the USA, UK and Australia, and involved close cooperation with statutory bodies and Shell.
Traditionally, cleaning and inspecting FPSO crude oil tanks is a labour-intensive and hazardous process, requiring skilled workers to spend long hours in confined spaces. Our 100% robotic solution revolutionises this process, enhancing safety and efficiency by eliminating the need for human entry into these dangerous environments.
This milestone perfectly exemplifies our investment strategy. By uniting industry-leading organisations, SMEs, and cutting-edge technologies, we can set new standards, leverage our collective strengths, and drive global growth.
Stay tuned for more innovative achievements from our portfolio!
