The Challenge

•Floating ocean infrastructure is important for energy, food, and data

•But the ocean is very hard on equipment

•And needed maintenance is expensive and weather-dependent

The TOWS Solution

• Safe single-vessel operations like towing and mooring

• Automate mooring/unmooring to be performed quickly and safely

•Leave a working unit behind when taking one away for repair

•Conduct operations in significant sea states (3m or even 4m seas) for large weather windows

Benefits

Our design is intended to reduce the cost of installing and maintaining offshore infrastructure.
