Continuous improvement is at the heart of all offshore operations, whether it is operational efficiency, quality of delivery, or cost reduction that leads to increased profitability. Sercel developed the Marlin Application Suite to facilitate the implementation of these enhancements. The Marlin Application Suite is at the forefront of delivering bespoke and integrated digital solutions to the maritime industry's manual and often disparate processes. It improves safety and reduces operational downtime in congested offshore environments by ensuring that all parties have full situational awareness of the planned activities of every asset in the operational area.

• Optimized operational performance

• Improved safety performance

• Enhanced collaboration between stakeholders

• Full auditable database with playback

Whether you are doing seismic acquisition, offshore construction , offshore windfarm operations or simultaneous E&P operations, vessels in these projects  frequently dependent on real-time tracking, while operational plans are stored and visualized elsewhere, resulting in a lack of situational awareness. This can lead to operational conflicts not being identified until an operational deficiency occurs, increasing the risk of unplanned downtime. Marlin situational awareness and SIMOPS management solution, is used to ensure minimal disruption to concurrent activities.

Track, Monitor, and Optimize Your fleet.
Our Vessel Tracking System empowers you with the ability to track and monitor your fleet with pinpoint accuracy. Leveraging state-of-the-art satellite technology, our system provides real-time vessel positions, ensuring that you have complete visibility of your entire fleet at all times.
Safety and security are paramount in the maritime industry, and our Vessel Tracking System prioritizes them above all else. With our system, you can set up geofence alerts and receive instant notifications whenever a vessel deviates from its designated area or encounters potential risks. In the event of an emergency, our system allows for quick response and coordination, ensuring the safety of your crew and assets.
 
Say goodbye to blind spots and gain full control over your maritime assets.

The Thwaites Glacier in an isolated part of Antarctica has the potential to cause a catastrophic rise in global sea levels. It is melting fast and accounts for four percent of the world’s annual sea level rise. The scientific community would like to monitor Thwaites in order that they can determine how quickly it is warming and how threatening it could prove to be. Sercel's MATS3G acoustic modem was used on the nupiri muka, a fully autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV).

The MARINE Test Center is a laboratory born from a partnership between Sercel Underwater Acoustics and SHIP AS A SERVICE. The combination of both companies’ expertise in acoustic communication and marine services make it the ideal choice for the test, qualification and validation of in-sea equipment. The sea test center offers a safe and secure environment within which to achieve your test objectives under optimal conditions.

Marine mammal monitoring provides a window into the state of the oceans, helping to understand ecological change, assess the impacts of human activities and promote the conservation of marine ecosystems.

Sercel’s QuietSea^TM is a fully integrated Passive Acoustic Monitoring system stepped up performance with the extension of the frequency bandwidth to 180 kHz, allowing the detection of cetaceans (porpoise click trains as example.) 

Our light and compact underwater acoustic modem, MATS LT, was recently used by Kopadia, a French company specializing in underwater inspection projects. By allowing easy integration and delivering good results in very shallow waters, MATS LT enabled Kopadia to design, in a record time, a fully integrated positioning and tracking solution for its AUV.

Conducting underwater seismic surveys can be an extremely challenging task, requiring the deployment of specialized equipment such as ocean-bottom seismometers in hostile environments, often several thousand meters beneath sea-level.

Before launching an exploitation phase, an evaluation phase is necessary to locate a geothermal resource accurately and assess its geological potential.

This geophysical survey is a first in Europe in terms of its complexity and size. For Sercel it is also an opportunity to demonstrate the versatility of its equipment, and show that its expertise can meet the new challenges of energy transition.

More than 20,000 WiNG nodes were installed in this broad and highly complex environment.

This explorer story highlights our commitment to advancing decarbonized energy solutions and harnessing the power of geothermal heat for urban areas.

Hear from our client, DMT GROUP, as they share their experience in this video.

Discover how Sercel and Naval Group collaborated to develop a unique solution enabling reliable acoustic communication over ranges of up to 40 km.

Sercel was awarded, together with Thales, the GICAN prize for defense innovation at the 4th edition of the "Operation i-Naval" event held on July 7 in Toulon France.

MATS3G is the unique solution for underwater acoustic communication.

Sercel with DeRegt solutions can provide the perfect defense or sonar cable to ensure the success of your next project.

We can deliver information about every aspect of your sonar system project – from the various sonar systems to the connection between your desired sonar system and the optimal cable requirements. Of course, we’ll also dive deeper into one of the most important aspects of your defense project: testing and validating.

 Sercel stands out for its ability to communicate over long distances, using stealth communication, and is already participating in the future development of underwater acoustic communications. In this experiment you will a succession of images transmitted with our MATS-3G underwater acoustic modem.

TRIDENT from Sercel is a string of four hydrophones that improves the high-data-rate communication in horizontal channels (shallow water) and in noisy environments. Trident manages the processing of multipath spreading for an improved signal-to-noise ratio. Signal-to-noise improvement: 6dB

VITAC from Sercel  is a software module that improves and facilitates images transmission. Even if transmission errors occur, VITAC ensures that transmitted images can still be visualized. Typical compression rate: 20 (24-bit image).

What's the consequence on marine mammals of a mine explosion ? 

Our goal is to provide our customers with the resources required to detect in real-time the presence of marine mammals in the area of all potential explosives. Safety for all – including marine life and human life is a constant priority at Sercel.

Environmental responsibility should be an integral part of all submarine operations.
At Sercel, we consider respect for the environment one of our core values.
We apply the broad competencies we've developed over the years at every stage of the product lifecycle, ensuring that our solutions can be deployed safely and that they help submarine operations succeed while still adhering to environmental regulations.
We provide the possibility to detect mammal presence during potential submarine activities through monitoring or in real-time.

The objective was to send the vehicle under the ice on a 60km round trip to gather data.
ISE installed two MATS 3G acoustic modems with which to monitor nupiri muka’s progress for the first few kilometers before running completely autonomously.

Our light and compact underwater acoustic modem, MATS LT, was recently used by Kopadia. MATS LT enabled Kopadia to design, in a record time, a fully integrated positioning and tracking solution for its AUV.
