- Remota provides technology-independent remote monitoring and control for offshore and maritime operations, using land-based remote operating centres. The article says it had three centres in Haugesund, one in Aberdeen and one planned in Houston. Services include autonomous navigation, engine monitoring, dynamic positioning, gangway and crane operation, and integrated control of unmanned service vessels and remotely operated vehicles.
- Target sectors named are floating offshore wind and waterborne passenger transport. Remota says it can interface with different technology providers and integrate satellite connectivity with 4G/5G to monitor assets globally. The page describes its backing by DeepOcean, Solstad Offshore and Østensjø Rederi and a county contract to provide remote services for Hyke passenger ferries.
- The article says offshore wind’s service vessels contribute substantially to emissions. Remota claims that switching from conventional to unmanned vessels can reduce overall floating-wind-farm CO₂ emissions by 90–95%, while lowering fuel and operating costs. It also says shore-based staff can be used more fully, improving staffing efficiency and worker safety and creating onshore roles for people unable to work at sea. These are company claims reported on the page.
- Market context cites the remote monitoring and control market growing from USD 24.6 billion in 2022 to USD 32.3 billion by 2027; this is an elapsed forecast.
- Linked to SDGs 7 (Affordable and clean energy), 8 (Decent work and economic growth) and 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure) for lower offshore-wind costs, safer shore-based work and reduced marine fuel use/emissions.
