to My Vision Ambitious and challenging offshore installations in harsh environments have to be designed and optimized totally from an operational point of view taking into consideration the full range of determining factors, such as environmental sensitivity, operational aspects, technical possibilities, investment requirements, lifecycle and operational costs. This sounds unpretentiously simple. So why is this still a remarkable vision or philosophy? Currently, offshore projects are mostly designed from an engineering point of view, i.e. the most reasonable engineering solution is developed. But it is essential to develop a holistic concept at a very early stage of a project. This makes it possible to formulate new offshore concepts and dramatically cuts construction and lifecycle costs. Cost reductions of up to 50% are achievable particularly for projects in ice covered waters. For more information, please contact advice@sea2ice.com Dr. Walter L. Kuehnlein Walter Kuehnlein
