🐊 Introducing the Subsea Coning Calculator — built by Blue Gator Subsea, LLC After 30+ years in deepwater Gulf of America operations, I've seen what happens when the coning math doesn't get done before the lift begins. The coning principle isn't complicated — but with a load in the water, a vessel starting its move, and an ROV on the wire, the last thing your team needs is doing the calculations in their head. So I built a tool that does it for them. The Subsea Coning Calculator solves two critical questions: ▼ Deploy — At what load depth can the vessel begin transit without breaching the SOZ cone? ▲ Recovery — How far must the vessel travel before the crane can begin recovering? Inputs: water depth, SOZ%, crane speed (m/s), vessel speed (knots), HOB, inspection depths, ROV threshold. The output is one number — the trigger point — handed directly to the crane operator and the bridge. Full cone boundary verification at every step of transit. ✔ Deploy AND recovery modes ✔ Rigging inspection holds modeled ✔ ROV monitoring alerts per SOP ✔ Visual cone diagram + timeline table ✔ Mobile and desktop — no app, no login Your customer's SOZ policy exists for a reason. This tool makes sure your team executes to it — every lift, every time. 🔗 Try it free: https://lnkd.in/eBBx9SUw Working in deepwater construction, IMR, SURF, or RLWI?
