TGS | 4C has revealed a massive strategic insight by studying vessel traffic around Dogger Bank B, Dogger Bank C and Sofia, where transits exploded from just 860 in 2021 to more than 20,000 by 2025. This surge completely changes the nature of the marine area, but more importantly, it unlocks a powerful new way to track offshore progress.
In a recent PES Wind Magazine article discussed by Allen Hall, TGS | 4C makes a compelling case: ship-tracking data acts as a form of "shadow monitoring." For investors, governments and utilities, tracking who is out on the water, whether they are laying cables, driving monopiles, or conducting surveys, independently reveals exactly how a project is progressing, ensuring true transparency and driving global efficiency.
