[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Lloyd’s Register (LR) has added to its portfolio of advanced data, digital and software solutions with the acquisition of Seasafe Marine Software & Computation (Seasafe).
An unexpected incident, such as a grounding, a collision or an explosion, can result in complex technical challenges, all requiring a fast and effective response.
Seasafe specialises in on-board loading and stability software to help customers manage the stability of vessels and offshore structures, from passenger ships, heavy-lift vessels and FPSOs to semi-submersibles and jack-up rigs.
LR’s ship emergency response service (SERS), which provides emergency preparedness and response to clients worldwide to help make the right decisions and reduce risks to human life, the environment and client assets, uses Seasafe’s state-of-the-art software for vessel modelling and calculations. The software enables SERS’ dedicated team of naval architects and specialists to be ready to respond quickly and effectively to incidents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Brighton-based Seasafe’s software solutions are used by a large range of clients such as shipyards, consultancies, government, regulatory bodies, classification societies, educational establishments, shipping companies and operators for naval architectural calculations. Seasafe will relocate to LR’s Southampton Global Technology Centre to sit alongside the SERS team.
Gwynne Lewis, LR’s Marine & Offshore Global Head of Data, Digital and Software, said: “Our vision for Seasafe is to be the preferred partner for Naval Architecture software to the marine industry by providing the best technical and cost-effective solution to our customers.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
