It is reported that the order from COSCO is based on the results of COSCO's repeated application of the OCTOPUS marine system. As early as March 2012, the “m/v Tai An Kou†ship installed the OCTOPUS marine system solution for monitoring platform transportation. Then the system was installed several times in 2012-2013. The COSCO has 5 heavy-lift vessels permanently installed with 5 sets of OCTOPUS marine systems, with dynamic monitoring, early warning response, weather decision support and evaluation. Amarcon's dynamic monitoring system TMS-3 was also installed.
The Dutch heavy haul transporter BigLift Shipping also ordered six sets of OCTOPUS marine systems similar to those of COSCO. The company currently operates 13 special heavy-lift ships, and in 2009 four ships began installing the system.
The OCTOPUS product line is part of ABB's Marine Information and Control (VICO) system and is integrated with a complete automation and consulting solution for maritime applications. ABB acquired Amarcon in August 2012 to expand its marine software offering capabilities.
Amarcon, a subsidiary of ABB Group, has announced that it has received orders to install a total of 11 OCTOPUS marine systems for heavy lift vessels of Cosco Heavy Transport and BigLift Shipping in the Netherlands.
