KomodoXpert by Cove & Cooper

AI-assisted offshore lift analysis and operation forecasting in one tool

KomodoXpert predicts crane and rigging loads from the splash zone to the seabed, tells you which sea states each lift can be done in, and plans the operation against the live forecast. Its built-in AI expert gives a first estimate on the spot and answers questions about the finished report.

Ask the Xpert, run hundreds of sea states, read the limits, check the forecast, see the lift.

The problem

Decisions offshore wait for analysis

Waiting on weather costs vessel days

Limits that are too conservative keep a vessel in port; limits that are too optimistic stop an operation half-way.

Lift analysis is slow and manual

Model set-up by hand, a sea-state grid, spreadsheets, then a report. Weeks, when the decision is needed now.

It has to stand up to review

The marine warranty surveyor needs traceable inputs, standards and calculations behind every limit.

How it works

From lift model to go / no-go

Limits per step, not one Hs

One workflow, model to report

Traceable for warranty review

Chart of allowable significant wave height against peak period, with acceptable and inoperable regions, a heading polar plot and a table of P90 tensions per period.
The operability envelope: the highest Hs each wave period allows, with the criterion that sets it.
Crane step showing the vessel deck plan with the crane position, side and stern views, and a knuckle-boom load chart with the working point.
Crane set-up on the vessel's own load chart: radius, utilisation and clearance at a glance.
Six line charts of response amplitude against wave period for surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch and yaw, beside a heading compass.
Vessel motion RAOs in six degrees of freedom, from a signed Vessel Library issue.
Timeline with a forecast wave-height curve over six operation steps, each a bar coloured green where the step is within its limits and red where it is not.
Each step of a mooring campaign checked hour by hour against the live wave forecast.

Built-in AI · Ask our Xpert

Numbers now, so the meeting can move

You are in a room with the client. Someone asks for the weather limit, whether the crane would overload, what the rigging loads are. Your specialist is offshore.

Describe the structure and ask for a guesstimate. You get installation limits, crane loads and sling loads on the spot, from an AI trained by our engineers on how this work is actually done.

Indicative and grounded in experience. Not a substitute for the design analysis, which KomodoXpert then runs in full.

Modules

Everything a lift campaign needs

Ask our Xpert (AI)

The built-in AI assistant: a quick, indicative lift estimate before the full analysis, and answers about the finished report.

Xpert

The desktop app (Windows and macOS): vessel, crane, load, ocean, batch, results and report in one workflow.

Komodo engine

Time-domain simulation of crane tip, wire, slings and load with buoyancy, drag, added mass and slamming.

MetoXpert

Hindcast statistics at any point on the map: Hs/Tp scatter, wave roses and waiting times.

ForecastXpert

Plans the operation step by step against the live forecast, with DNV-ST-N001 alpha factors.

Vessel Library

Signed, four-eyes-reviewed vessel data: RAOs, cranes and load charts, fingerprinted for traceability.
