Netherlands: Siemens awards Marine Coordination at Gemini to SMC

The Gemini Offshore Wind Farm, based in the Dutch sector of the North Sea, is one of the largest in the world. This month SMC, who are based in the UK, commenced Marine Coordination for the 600 MW 150 turbine site.SMC will be using their ATLAS Marine Coordination Management System – a bespoke tracking and recording system to manage vessels and personnel working on offshore construction projects. With Gemini being 85km from shore ATLAS will play a critical role in giving stakeholders remote access to vital statistics and construction data.

Ian Coates, Managing Director, SMC said “ATLAS has been developed to work from an offshore base, which gives a strategic advantage to project stakeholders onshore, giving them an immediate snapshot of the critical aspects of construction.”
