1201 vessels now running Scantrol systems  

Scantrol, a leading provider of advanced control and monitoring solutions for the global fishing, offshore, and research fleet, has reached a significant milestone. The company has now delivered over 1200 solutions worldwide, cementing its position as a world leader in this industry.

Over the years, Scantrol has established itself as a trusted partner for vessel owners and operators, offering a range of cutting-edge technologies and solutions that help improve the efficiency and sustainability of marine operations. Today, Scantrol's solutions can be found on more than 1200 vessels around the world, including over 600 fishing vessels, 400 offshore vessels, 100 research vessels, and 25 unmanned surface vessels (USVs).  

Scantrol's advanced control and monitoring solutions are based on three key areas: AutoTrawl, Active Heave Compensation (AHC), and Vision & Control. These solutions enable vessel operators to improve their operational performance and reduce their environmental impact, making them a popular choice for those looking to operate more sustainably and efficiently.  

Scantrol's Flagship Solution: SYM 7 Autotrawl System

One of Scantrol's flagship solutions is the SYM 7 Autotrawl system, which helps fishing vessels optimize their trawl operations. By providing real-time data on trawl geometry, the system enables vessel operators to adjust their trawl gear to maximize catch rates, reduce wear and damages to trawl gear, wires and winches, control of winch and towing power, and regenerate energy while minimizing the impact on the marine environment.  

Scantrol's AHC Controller: mTrack

Scantrol's AHC solution mTrack is used by offshore vessels operating in demanding conditions, such as subsea construction, offshore wind installation, and deep-sea exploration. The mTrack system is a game changer within the industry offering affordable AHC control systems for winches, cranes and cylinders ranging from 500kg to 500tonnes.

Scantrol's Vision & Control solutions are used by a range of vessels, from research vessels to USVs, to provide real-time data on the vessel's operation and surroundings. These systems enable vessel operators to monitor the vessel's position, detect obstacles, and collect data on the marine environment, helping to improve safety and efficiency. In the offshore energy sector, it is likely that a number of large and expensive survey vessels can be replaced by unmanned surface vessels to carry out subsea mapping, inspection, and maintenance work. By developing controls for the autonomous launch and recovery of subsea survey equipment and machine learning-based vision systems, we intend to contribute to this transition.   

Scantrol's Focus on Sustainability and Innovation

With a global presence and a strong focus on sustainable solutions, Scantrol is well-positioned for further growth and expansion. The company's commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation has earned Scantrol a leading position in the market, and it continues to develop new technologies that help improve the efficiency and sustainability of marine operations.  

In conclusion, Scantrol's delivery of over 1200 solutions worldwide is a testament to the company's expertise and commitment to excellence. Its advanced control and monitoring solutions are trusted by vessel operators around the world, and its focus on sustainability and innovation makes it a valuable partner for those looking to operate efficiently and responsibly. As Scantrol continues to grow and expand, it remains a leader in the industry, helping to shape the future of marine operations for years to come.
