About the project
Advanced longrange BLOS flight to supply a 3D-printed component to Troll A. The flight range was 100 km (55nm) each way and was carried out from Mongstad, Bergen. Additionally, there was conducted a close visual inspection of Troll A outside the 500 meter zone, and a search and rescue operation.
Results
A successful cargo drone delivery of a critical 3D printed component from Mongstad, to Troll A. Close visual inspection and SAR operation were also successful. The flight was a demo to test feasibility.
“If we are to develop tomorrow’s logistics solutions on the Norwegian shelf, where drones can play an important role, we must cooperate across industry players; the operating companies, the suppliers, the authorities, and the association and protection axes, says Pedersen.”

Comments from Nordic Unmanned
“The operation that we have conducted today is an excellent example of how we in Nordic Unmanned work together with a demanding client to implement the latest in unmanned technology. This marks the beginning of a new chapter within unmanned logistics. The technology is proven and robust enough to implement in large scale, and reduces the risk cost and environmental footprint drastically.”
