Heerema Engineering Solutions
Heerema Engineering Solutions won the 2025 Ventus Award for their development of Metis, a parallel discrete event simulation tool, to ensure clients can gain insights into project durations, costs, and risks. Metis is a parallel discrete event simulation tool, which allows Heerema to simulate complex marine operations to assess the overall duration and also where challenges and potential delays could appear. Metis has diverse uses, able to be applied for clients in the early development phase of projects to perform a constructability analysis alongside CAPEX estimations to ensure an accurate budget and planning. Additionally, the tool can be used during projects to check whether operations are progressing according to plan, and where potential issues could occur that will affect the critical path.
