Sonardyne & AMOG Sign Subsea Asset Monitoring MoU

Sonardyne has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with engineering company AMOG to deliver subsea asset monitoring services for offshore energy infrastructure operators.

Under the agreement, the companies will combine Sonardyne’s underwater monitoring, positioning and communication technologies with AMOG’s engineering assessment expertise. The collaboration is intended to support asset insight, reduce downtime and assist life extension programs for offshore wind and oil and gas moorings, pipelines and risers.

The offering will incorporate Sonardyne’s Observer wireless subsea asset integrity monitoring system, which provides high and low-frequency motion monitoring, third-party sensor integration and internal edge analytics functionality.

Sonardyne and AMOG are currently developing a near real time mooring monitoring system for a floating offshore wind project in Europe.

Dr. Hayden Marcollo, Director at AMOG and specialist in moorings and vortex induced vibration engineering and analysis, said, “Combining high-quality subsea data, processes at source on Observer, with advanced engineering assessments, will provide asset owners with more actionable, near-real-time insight into the condition and behaviour of critical subsea infrastructure through a single solution. For operators, this could support earlier detection of anomalies, improved understanding of loads and motions, and more informed decisions around inspection, maintenance and integrity management, as well as asset longevity, in one end-to-end solution.”

Frank Rose, Business Development Manager at Sonardyne, added, “By integrating on-demand and long-term monitoring data from subsea environments with engineering models and analytics, there’s an opportunity to provide a more complete picture of asset performance—whether supporting day-to-day operations, integrity assurance or life-extension strategies. By working alongside AMOG, we’re exploring how data and engineering assessments can come together to give operators greater confidence in the way their subsea assets are performing, today and over the long term.”
