The Marlin platform offers an innovative suite of solutions for optimizing maritime operations. For SIMOPS, it delivers a live, time-based geospatial view of concurrent offshore activities, providing teams with the vessel and asset awareness required to plan, coordinate, and execute operations safely in high-activity environments. The tool includes full-system configuration, onboarding, operational reviews, and 24/7 operational support.

Jérôme Denigot, CEO, Sercel, said: “With offshore activity accelerating across Latin America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and West Africa, our Marlin field-proven SIMOPS solution enables operators to better manage their most complex offshore developments.”
