CONTROL SYSTEM FOR INLINE ACTIVE HEAVE COMPENSATOR

This is one of this year's thrilling projects we engaged in and delivered - the control system for Inline Active Heave Compensator(IAHC) unit to Serman & Tipsmark A/S and subsequently end customer SAFELINK AS. The SAFLINK IAHC is a tool enabling installation of offshore wind farms even in wavy conditions.

CCM's involvement primarily centered around the delivery of software control systems to the IAHC. We are delighted to be part of a project that is committed to a sustainable energy transition and be able to put our effort into enhancing energy efficiency.

Key highlights:
