What is Challenging Your Offshore Wind Project?
- Permits, RAMS, and Transfer of Control (TOC) don’t align with industry practices (e.g., HSG250, WTSR) and SIMOPS awareness; paper/email workflows can’t keep pace offshore
- Multi‑package execution (WTG, foundations, array/export cables, OSS, T&I) is creating interface risk, rework, and claims
- Marine & workforce coordination (inductions, WINDA/GWO verification, access control, vessels) demands a single view of personnel, assets, and operations
- Using the wrong document or drawing revisions is creating errors and rework
- Volatile supply chains and shifting scopes that require real‑time cost control, earned value, and integrated time/LEMs to protect margins

- Centralize time writing for labour, equipment, and materials (i.e. LEMs) with configurable rules that help accelerate billing and period close

- Plan rotations, manage competencies/certifications, and mobilize crews across vessels and sites, improving compliance and readiness
- Apply offshore crewing best practices to reduce downtime (late mobilizations, skill mismatches) and manage change

- Formalize scope boundaries, requirements, and deliverables between interfacing packages and contracting parties (e.g., WTG–foundation–cables–OSS) to reduce integration risk
- Track interface requests to closure with dashboards and owner/EPCI oversight from FEED to commissioning
- Trusted on major energy projects worldwide for 20+ years
Digitize permit‑to‑work, RAMS, and Transfer of Control with WTSR/HSG250‑aligned workflows, SIMOPS awareness, and a full audit trail for safer, compliant offshore execution.
Use one platform to plan operations and monitor personnel, vessels, and assets; accelerate site readiness with online inductions and WINDA/GWO checks.
Empower your workforce to actively contribute to safety. Enhance communication, collaboration, and risk identification.
Maintain a controlled source of truth for drawings and vendor data; run structured reviews/mark‑ups; and publish client‑ready or offline handover packages for offshore teams.
Plan rotations by skills and availability, track certifications centrally, reduce downtime from last‑minute changes, and mobilize the right people at the right time.
Enterprise-Grade Solutions

Our cloud providers offer broad compliance coverage and support regulatory obligations relevant to your industry.
In addition, Ascertra’s SaaS approach is designed for real-world operations: teams working from anywhere in the world retain secure access to the data and workflows they need, with options that support challenging connectivity scenarios common to vessels and remote sites.
Ascertra Customers & Partners
Integrate a Connected Project Information Backbone
Ascertra can connect the dots across the entire project lifecycle so information flows where work happens; from concept and FEED through EPC, commissioning, and into operations.
Our customers connect and integrate Ascertra solutions with their other organization’s systems (such as ERP, scheduling, HRIS, and field apps) to create a unified project information backbone, keeping data consistent and traceable from concept through operations.
Bi‑directional sync, configurable mappings, and master‑data governance keep tags, work packages, codes, and handover datasets consistent across owners, EPCs, and contractors, while role‑based security, audit trails, and data‑lineage tracking preserve trust in every exchange.
The result is a federated, single source of truth that reduces rework, accelerates handovers, and gives project and operations teams real‑time visibility without replacing the systems you already rely on.

Ascertra Offshore Wind FAQs
-
A robust offshore safety management system typically includes: permit‑to‑work workflows, Risk Assessments & Method Statements (RAMS), and Transfer of Control (TOC); SIMOPS identification; auditable approvals and lifecycle tracking aligned to HSG250/WTSR; and integration with personnel, location, and activity data so safety controls are tied to the people and places doing the work.
In offshore wind, this is best delivered as an integrated Safe System of Work (SSoW) connected to marine operations for real‑time awareness, like SeaPlanner. -
Look for an offshore‑built SSoW platform that digitizes permits, RAMS, and TOC, provides SIMOPS alerts, and aligns with HSG250 and Wind Turbine Safety Rules (WTSR); ideally integrated with a Marine Management System (MMS) so safety, workforce, and vessel activity share one operational picture. SeaPlanner’s SSoW does exactly this and has supported large UK offshore wind builds, handling thousands of personnel and transfers.
-
When standing up or refining permit‑to‑work (PTW) offshore, favour providers whose SSoW design draws on experienced H&S practitioners and who can supply consultants and implementation specialists.
Our SSoW was developed with experienced health & safety professionals, and its team includes consultants supporting delivery; SeaPlanner has also partnered with industry firms to provide full PTW and marine coordination services where required. -
Prioritize an MMS that offers workforce management (inductions, WINDA/GWO validation, competence checks), personnel/vessel/asset visibility, and planning-to-operations continuity; and that integrates natively with your SSoW to reduce human error during high‑risk work.
Also check for security and compliance (e.g., NIS 2, GDPR, SOC 2 Type II) and proof it has been used on real OWF projects. SeaPlanner’s Marine Management System covers these requirements and is positioned specifically for offshore wind.
