Abstract :
The paper describes the effective real-time visualization of the clear-up operation of a former US nuclear submarine base, located in Holy Loch, Scotland. The Whole Field Modelling System has provided an extremely accurate real-time visualization of a large number of varying parameters such as remotely operated vehicles, cranes, barges, grabs, magnets, and detailed seabed topography. The system has improved the field staffs´ spatial and temporal awareness of the underwater environment and facilitated decision-making within the complex offshore working environment.
