In recent years, many marine applications have leapt on the Ethernet bandwagon. By integrating Ethernet networks with the ship's distributed communication system, the control and management of in-ship communications is significantly enhanced.
Offshore wind power applications are similar to onshore wind turbine projects. Both require careful planning during the construction phase, and are well-suited for management from a remote central control center.
Offshore oil and gas applications face many obstacles and difficulties: all the operations are confined to the platform, and the weight and size of equipment also raise major concerns. In addition, marine environments are highly corrosive and require intense maintenance.
