Offshore services provider, Mainprize Offshore, is rolling out Reygar’s BareFLEET vessel monitoring system across seven of its semi-SWATH crew transfer vessels (CTVs) as it targets increased efficiencies and operational performance gains for its growing fleet.

Following a proof-of-concept trial on one vessel, MO6, in October, additional installations are now planned with rollout anticipated across the new build fleet as they arrive.
BareFLEET will be used to monitor vessel measurements, such as navigational activity, stability during passenger transfers, and vessel motion sickness. By collecting this performance data in a single place, the system provides internal and external reporting efficiencies, enabling more effective fleet-wide decision-making.
‘We like to push boundaries constantly in what we do. BareFLEET will enable us to better understand the vessels’ performance when transferring in two-metre wave height and over, whilst also managing fuel consumption and ultimately reducing emissions, for more efficient and sustainable offshore operations’, said managing director of Mainprize Offshore, Bob Mainprize. ‘It adds value to our fleet and benefits crews, clients and the wider industry’.
Developed by Reygar, BareFLEET is a fleet remote monitoring system that gives insight into fleet fuel use, machinery health, emissions, navigational activity, and VMMS motion. The solution’s video camera features also enable users to see their CTVs in action whilst pushing onto a wind turbine, with live motion and engine load measurement data overlaid onto the video.
CEO of Reygar, Chris Huxley-Reynard, commented: ‘Offshore energy support vessel operators have invested heavily in sophisticated turbine and transmission technology for their vessels. Now, many are looking to complement those capabilities with a fully digital approach to vessel monitoring for optimised performance and enhanced service value. The value of BareFLEET continues to increase as more data is collected, providing data and trends that translate into unparalleled fleet operations insights’.
