Evolift provides the world’s first remote-controlled marine technology lifting unit solution that are able to connect and release cargo that are moving due to waves, wind and currents on the surface of the sea, without interaction of personnel. Consequently, we save time, lower costs, and eliminate personnel risk in marine lifting operations. This is solving a huge challenge that must be solved if electrification, autonomous ships and remote rig cranes are to become a realistic alternative. The solution can further be developed to release and connect in subsea lifting operations without the assistance of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) or divers and it can be digitalised, facilitating data gathering and analysis, and become a vital part of the logistics system.
Societal challenge to overcome: The offshore lifting decks in marine lifting operations in the oil industry, fish-farming industry, wind-farming industry, and other industries at sea are some of the most dangerous places in the world to work at, a solution to this safety issue is long sought after worldwide. The technology is patented and will be a game changer and disrupt the way lifting operations are conducted today. We are basically making existing lifting operations risk-free by moving personnel out of the danger zone when eliminating the hooking on and off operations. For the lifting operations of the future, this enables un-manned vessels and rigs with unmanned cranes to operate on their own releasing less carbon emission due to being able to operate at a wider weather widow (hence less time waiting on weather offshore), allowing for better logistics planning, shorter routes and less waiting, taking down some of the barriers for electrification of vessels
The overall objective will be to facilitate for last stages of product development, commercialization and fast scaling of the business
