New output : Personnel/technician time spent on output - Output report | We've introduced a new output called Technician Time Spent data, which offers detailed insights into how efficiently personnel allocate their time during campaigns. This output categorizes shifts into various activities, including travel time, waiting for transport, and active work on assets or WTGs. It provides users with a comprehensive breakdown to facilitate effective planning and optimization strategies. In this release, we have projected the data in the Construction output report. In the next release, the same output will have an output dashboard view. Below is the categorization available in Design application | Construction 3 |
New output - Logistics transfer count /utilization - Output report | Users currently have access to vessel utilization data through our existing outputs. To enhance granularity and complement this information, we've introduced a new functionality that projects the count of drop-offs and pick-ups facilitated by transfer logistics like CTV, Daughter, Helicopter, and SOV throughout the campaign. These outputs aid users in planning optimization strategies, such as determining whether to increase vessel capacity and selection. | Construction 3 |
New output dashboard - Average task duration in a task group output chart | A new dashboard view displays the average task duration for each task group, offering quick insights into project timelines | Construction 3 |

New logistics type - Daughter craft vessel | Presently, our users face limitations when modeling scenarios involving a daughter craft attached to an SOV in Design, Construction, and O&M. Although the current logistic type includes an option for CTV linked to a mother vessel, it only simulates a return to port after personnel work shifts. To address this limitation and offer more accurate modeling, we've introduced a new logistic agent type in our input library. Recognizing the critical role of daughter crafts in offshore wind farm operations and maintenance, we understand their importance for high-speed and efficient transfers between the main SOV and the turbines. Daughter crafts often operate continuously, shuttling personnel and equipment without returning to port, maximizing wind farm availability and efficiency. We believe this addition will enable our users to model industry-accurate scenarios and benefit significantly from our platform effectively. | Construction 3, O&M |
Others | Alongside introducing new features, we have consistently enhanced the technical aspects of our platform to ensure seamless and uninterrupted service. | Construction 3, O&M |

Headline | Description | Shoreline Product |
Weather causes output | The "weather causes output" feature provides insights into the factors contributing to the total weather downtime experienced by logistics units, such as vessels and cranes, over the simulation period. •The weather causes report explains how various weather conditions affect the total downtime of a vessel during a simulation period or campaign duration in the case. •For example, suppose there's a 20% occurrence of wind speed exceeding limits during step 1 of process A on vessel X. In that case, this contributes to the overall weather-related downtime for that vessel over the entire 10-year simulation period if the simulation years = 10 | Construction 3 |

Additional route inputs such as Speed limit and Time Delays for Waypoints | Construction 3 & O&M We have added the ability to set speed limits (Max speed) at bases and the wait times (‘Time delay’) at each waypoint. This is an excellent addition for those wishing to model wait times at locks and other local restrictions on speed and movement, and it improves the overall accuracy of process cycle completion times within the product. These local restrictions could include:
The impact of setting these restrictions can be viewed in the Visualisation Log and the visualization. | Design Construction 3 and O&M | |
Lead Time for individual vessel instances | In Shoreline Design, lead time is the amount of time needed to make preparations before a vessel carries out a task.
It was previously possible to set lead time for all the major vessels on the Strategy tab, which meant the same lead time was applied to all vessels. In reality, there can be a lot of variation in lead times for major vessels depending on various factors such as vessel availability and suppliers. | Construction 3 and O&M | |
Saving data from the Case of the project to Input Library | It is now possible to save Base, Asset, or Logistics configuration settings in a case back to the Input Library so they can be reused in other cases and projects. This reduces unnecessary data entry time and can be shared across your team members so they can use them in their model. | Construction 3 and O&M | |
Enhanced case validation function | We have increased Shoreline Design's performance! Previously, we have been continually validating cases as users build them; now, we only validate them when the user clicks the ‘Check Case’ button and selects ’ Run Simulation.’
You may also have observed that we have improved the hints and warnings given to users so that they don’t always appear and only notify when you actively select the ‘Check Case’ button. We have intended to make these more helpful so that you are prompted when a change may cause the case to fail. For example, a standard user error is not to change other inputs when the loadout or load-off base has been changed. Now, users will be warned of how this change will impact the rest of their case. | Construction 3 and O&M | |
Inventory Management Output report | Inventory Management output data is now available in Design Construction's Output report. This can be found in the Output report under the Inventory tab. This data projects the stock at the designated port at any time. It also shows the changes column containing the data produced by the simulation model. | ||
New Output dashboard | We’re making some changes to the Design application's Output Dashboard for Construction and O&M. Check out the development by selecting to view the beta version. Note: the Inventory Management graph can only be found on the beta dashboard. Caution: The new output page is in beta and undergoing active development. You might encounter bugs and limited functionality.

Bug fix | Some weather files (not ERA-5) contain data on daylight and lightning.
When these weather files are uploaded, historically both boolean values were registered for Lightning and for Limited by Daylight. However for some time we have only been simulating on “it is dark” = 0 and “there is not lightning” = 0. This is a bug, which we have now fixed so that daylight and lightning are taken into consideration in the simulation. We will investigate how long this has been a bug and the likely impact on customers' cases. | Construction 3 O&M |
