For rig move events,
FSME can mobilise personnel and positioning / navigation equipment with a very short
lead time. Co-ordination of anchor
handling vessels and rig positioning / alignment are controlled by the survey
personnel onboard the rig itself (or from an anchor handling tug as directed
by the Client). Control of the anchor handling vessels is effected using Fugro's
Tug Management software, with data telemetered
to and fro using a radio link.
On occasion, when the rig touchdown
location is critical (for example when moving a drilling rig alongside a subsea template),
FSME can offer high precision rig-to-template moves,
using the latest technology in highly accurate underwater acoustic positioning
systems, gyrocompasses and inclinometers, with ROV assistance / confirmation
of touchdown if required.
