Sonomatic and our sister company Geo Oceans are delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted as finalists for the JV Technology Development Award at the Subsea Expo Awards 2024!
The award application is focused on our i-COT technology development project, a collaboration between Sonomatic, Geo Oceans and Shell to develop class-accredited remote inspection technologies for performing in-service cargo oil tank inspections. We have developed a patented entry system, specialised scanning ROVs that can operate in crude oil, and drone systems to perform inspection of cargo oil tanks remotely and in service. Read more about it here.
Charles Loader, Sonomatic’s General Manager for Europe and Africa said:
This highly complex technology project that was delivered across 3 continents, 5 countries and took over 4 years to complete. It has brought together all of the expertise within our group of companies and valued client Shell, we are very proud of all the team for their achievements.
Peter Tawse, International Operations Manager for Geo Oceans followed:
As the Project director, it is extremely rewarding to see the project delivery team acknowledged for the outstanding work they have done to design and build such an advanced ROV platform and inspection system that can withstand the harsh environments of crude oil tanks.
The award winners will be announced at the Subsea Expo Awards Dinner on Wednesday 21st February 2024.
