Miros has successfully supported the laying of a 109km pipeline for the trailblazing Northern Lights CO2 transport and storage (CCS) project. By deploying a cloud-enabled WaveSystem and an additional RangeFinder wave radar on project vessels, Miros provided accurate sea state measurements in real-time, ensuring efficient and safe pipelay operations.

Northern Lights is Norway’s first licence for CO2 storage on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and is a key part of the landmark 'Langskip' (Longship) CCS initiative. It is being developed by some of the energy sectors biggest players and will play a major role in helping the country, and Europe more generally, to hit its decarbonization goals.

Comprised of Miros’ Wavex and RangeFinder technology, the WaveSystem enables safe and highly reliable offshore operations. By conveniently sharing sea state data through the Miros Cloud platform (miros.app), project vessels were able to confidently navigate the offshore environment and successfully complete their mission on time.

Miros sales executive, Chris Moncrieff, said: 'To allow our customers to navigate sudden changes in offshore conditions with confidence, Miros’ systems reliably provide accurate and up-to-the-minute sea state measurements round-the-clock. Easy system installation and automatic calibration make data quickly accessible and securely sharable across the project team, facilitating the highest situational awareness at any time.'

'Accuracy is key for laying pipelines; by utilizing the WaveSystem the project was able to deploy key infrastructure accurately and safely. The measured real-time ocean data helped the vessels stay on track precisely and avoid letting the project be affected by changing wave and weather conditions.'

Miros chief executive, Marius Five Aarset, added: 'As the industry looks towards more sustainable maritime operations and the delivery of projects to reach net zero goals, Miros is proud to provide real-time data to facilitate the realization of both these goals. Our ongoing work with long-standing maritime industry partners, for projects across the energy sector, speaks to our vast experience providing accurate and reliable ocean insights to optimize operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.'
