摘要

Teekay Offshores fleet of shuttle tankers operate in the North Sea, offshore Norway, Brazil and the east coast of Canada, transferring crude oil from remote production infrastructure to coastal terminals. Its operations are becoming increasingly sophisticated and so are its IT requirements, says Teekay Offshore Logistics vice president for operations Regis Rougier.
