The award highlights Interocean’s Digital Asset Management initiative, which is redefining how marine assets are monitored, maintained, and optimized. By integrating 3D scanning, digital twins, AI-driven predictive modelling, and UAV-based inspection, the solution delivers a step change in asset integrity management.

Already deployed across drilling vessels in Singapore and internationally, the program delivers real-time condition assessments, risk-based maintenance, and streamlined remedial and spares management. Crucially, it also reduces the need for manned confined-space entry, significantly enhancing safety while improving operational efficiency.

The initiative has produced measurable performance gains, including 15% reductions in maintenance budgets and up to 50% fewer equipment failures. Over an asset’s lifecycle, repair and upgrade costs are projected to fall by as much as 65%, with a further 10% reduction in insurance premiums. These outcomes directly support more sustainable operations—cutting waste, emissions, and offshore exposure while extending asset life.

Interocean’s use of drone technology, a central part of the award-winning project, has transformed traditional inspection methods. UAV-based Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements have reduced the need for scaffolding and rope access by up to 80%, accelerating inspection timelines while maintaining full compliance and accuracy.

The system’s proven ability to improve safety, extend asset longevity, and enable data-driven decision-making supports client ambitions for efficiency and energy transition readiness. Recognition in Singapore further strengthens Interocean’s plans for regional expansion, with a new office currently underway.

Receiving the award, Interocean’s Chief Commercial Officer Alex Clark commented: “Our Digital Asset Management initiative is a source of immense pride for Interocean, and a key differentiator in our service offering. Receiving this acknowledgement from IMCA—one of our industry’s most recognized trade bodies—is a huge testament to our team’s work. Accepting it in a room full of supporters and peers was an honor and a fantastic way to celebrate what has been another great year for Interocean.”
