2 Mojo Maritime / Marine economic risk management aid Mermaid : marine economic risk management aid The most sophisticated marine operations planning software available. The impact of weather, wave and tidal forces on marine operations leads to unpredictable risks in offshore activities, and significantly affects project schedules and costs. Mermaid is a sophisticated marine operations and analysis system to accurately quantify weather risk by forecasting its impact on simulated project plans. It empowers you to optimise marine operations through accurate modelling and scenario planning, enabling significant cost reductions. True weather analysis Mermaid uses historic hindcast weather data for specific project sites to accurately quantify the weather risk, determining the optimal and risk-minimised weather windows for your project. By using actual hindcast data instead of averaged theoretical weather, Mermaid is uniquely accurate in its predictions proven to within 1% of actual project timescales.

3 How can Mermaid support your marine operations? Mermaid is the only system that can precisely predict weather risk for detailed marine operations, thanks to its exceptional level of technical and operational accuracy. With Mermaid you can: Quantify and mitigate weather risk Create detailed task analysis and simulation of marine operations Optimise marine projects and reduce costs Although extremely sophisticated, Mermaid is a user-friendly planning and project management tool. It provides you with accurate insights into the weather risk on all marine operations, across all phases of the offshore planning and operations management schedule. Once you have modelled your operation, you can easily vary key parameters such as vessel types and project start dates. The point-and-click analysis tools allow you to quickly compare different options for method, asset selection, methodology and time of year with confidence and ease.

7 Mermaid is a comprehensive solution for our marine weather risk modelling. We need to know how much and for how long the weather will cost us, and Mermaid supplies the answers. It s fully flexible, easy to use and allows us to model fast and iterate project plans quickly. Anne Lina Holy, project simulation analyst at Vattenfall. Case studies Mermaid has a proven track record of success, having been used for over 5 years and in excess of 30+ real world projects to plan offshore operations. Carbon Trust Offshore Wind Accelerator Mermaid was used to evaluate the full installation cost of the three different foundation types at Dogger Bank using a range of methods. Mermaid determined the best foundation types in terms of both time and cost, and quantified the benefits of different process improvements. Major German drilling contractor Mermaid was used to quantify and compare two vessels and model the complete specialist drilling operation, which was based off the coast of France. Through the use of Mermaid a 100% increase in weather risk was identified for the less capable vessel. Major French energy company The client was tendering for geotechnical drilling operations in a new environment and needed to understand the weather risk. Mermaid was able to simulate the bidder s operations and quantify the weather risk, with the final bid selection based upon Mermaid s analysis.
