Maersk Drilling, boasting one of the industry's youngest and most advanced fleets with 24 rigs, places an uncompromising emphasis on safety. The company sought to challenge traditional safety paradigms by prioritising Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) practices across its operations. With a clear ambition of achieving zero serious incidents, Maersk Drilling recognised the critical importance of fostering a culture of safety excellence.

The challenge lay in the diversity of safety documents, ranging from handwritten notes to various digital formats such as PDFs, Word, Excel, and XML. Compounded by the limited internet access on offshore rigs, sharing best practices and knowledge across the organisation proved to be a formidable task. Maersk Drilling aimed to overcome these hurdles by leveraging intelligent technologies to streamline safety reporting processes and enhance information sharing among its fleet.

Partnering with Halfspace, Maersk Drilling embarked on a journey to develop a digital core for safety management. Through the development of a unified format language, Halfspace enabled the extraction of valuable insights from thousands of disparate documents. This transformation not only facilitated the sharing of best-practice safety reports across all rigs but also empowered Maersk Drilling to leverage machine-learning algorithms for enhanced safety recommendations and work instructions. With Halfspace's expertise in advanced data analytics and machine learning, Maersk Drilling achieved automated intelligent recommendations aimed at minimising risks and improving safety outcomes across its operations.
