In the demanding environment of ultra-deep waters, where reliability is paramount, Parkburn Precision Handling Systems and Scantrol AS have joined forces to deliver a groundbreaking solution. This collaboration has enabled Stabbert Maritime Group's Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) Ocean Guardian to achieve flawless operations since delivery over 2 years ago.

Scantrol AS is pleased to announce a new cooperation with C-LARs LLC, a Texas based manufacturing company, for the supply of control systems including Active Heave Compensation (AHC). The contract was signed at OTC Houston in early May.

MacArtney’s MERMAC R40 AHC Winch, aboard the ASN Ile de Class vessel, will be facilitating the effective laying of seismic cables on the seabed of the Johan Castberg oilfield in the Barents Sea for Equinor’s new Permanent Reservoir Monitoring system.

Scantrol recently launched an AHC controller with integrated Motion Reference Unit (MRU). The controller, mTRACK, makes it possible to design efficient and affordable Active Heave Compensation (AHC) solutions for all winches and cranes that are used for subsea operations.

Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FET) announced today that its Dynacon business line, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of Launch & Recovery Systems (LARS) and Scantrol, a world recognized supplier of Active Heave Compensation (AHC) control systems are joining forces to offer AHC functionality to new and existing customers.

Scantrol is proud to have successfully upgraded a Saab Seaeye Leopard ROV LARS to have Active Heave Compen-sation in only 3 days. The retrofit allows the customer, a Japanese marine science company, to continue working in tough weather conditions by increasing operational time of the vessel and reducing the risk of damage to the system. First AHC upgrade of Leopard ROV LARS – When our partner in the UK, Hydramec,got a request from Saab Seaeye to upgrade an existing Launch & Recovery system,Scantrol was contacted to supply the AHC controls. Even though we have done several systems together in the past, this was the first time an upgrade of a Leopard ROV LARS system has been carried out, explains senior design engineer Rolf Krogh Hjelmeland, re- sponsible for the offshore segment. The project was carried out in Japan in May where Hydramec and Scantrol took up the task of retro fitting Active heave compensa-tion to an existing LARS 1055, a 3000 meter rated Leopard ROV Launch and recovery system. Testing and research was done at the Hydramec facilities to find the optimal and most cost effective way to perform the upgrade of the LARS systems.

Scantrol was commissioned to design the control system for the AHC eLARS system on Swire Seabed's, Seabed Excavator.
