The article explores how Kent's model predicts the behaviour of differently shaped objects as they fall through the water, enabling operators to identify high-risk areas, optimise lifting activities and introduce additional mitigation measures where required. By providing a more accurate understanding of potential impact zones than traditional modelling approaches, the technology supports safer offshore operations, reduces unnecessary shutdowns and helps protect critical subsea assets. The feature also examines the growing importance of lifting risk management as offshore operations become increasingly complex, particularly across decommissioning activities, and includes insights from Carl Titchmarsh, Senior Vice President Operations - APAC, on how Kent's engineering-led innovation is helping improve safety and operational decision-making.
