ION Geophysical Corporation announced that it has been awarded a five-year contract by Brunei Shell Petroleum Co. (BSP), a joint venture between the Government of Brunei and Shell, for a digital solution to manage Marine Logistics. The solution will be delivered utilizing the Marlin software suite and will include vessel monitoring, berth management, and visual reporting tools for material supply workflows.

The solution will digitize a number of manual processes and will also interface with existing tools, enhancing BSP's ability to make informed decisions whilst managing its fleet of more than 70 vessels servicing over 200 offshore structures. Processes such as planning, scheduling, routing, tracking of arrivals and departures, and automating port calls, function with multiple manual processes and systems across various of the marine logistics teams, demonstrating how powerful digitizing and streamlining the workflows are. Through the ability to share and visualize information for the entire operating area in a single system across teams, QHSE and operational efficiencies are improved, which can lead to reductions in fuel consumption, emissions, and BSP's overall carbon footprint.
