Norsecraft Tec`s JackUp-Lube®: Automating Safety in Offshore Operations

Norsecraft Tec, together with Castor Drilling Solution, introduces JackUp-Lube®—a breakthrough automation system that brings safety, efficiency, and precision to one of the industry’s most hazardous operations.

From Manual Labor to Smart Automation

Traditional lubrication requires teams of up to ten workers operating near pinch points and chemical exposure zones. JackUp-Lube® changes that completely.

By integrating directly with a rig’s PLC control system, the solution delivers automated, continuous, and optimized lubrication during jacking—removing the need for human presence in danger zones.

The result: consistent lubrication, reduced mechanical wear, fewer failures, and no risk to personnel.

“JackUp-Lube® eliminates a safety and environmental hazard that has persisted offshore for decades,” says the development team.

Safety, Compliance & Smart ROI

The system supports real-time monitoring, data logging, and remote operation, ensuring compliance with Havtil and international safety standards.

Connected to a digital maintenance or IoT platform, JackUp-Lube® provides live data on lubricant use, system pressure, and diagnostics—enabling smarter maintenance decisions and fewer unplanned stops.

Despite its multi-million NOK price tag, the return on investment is rapid through reduced manpower, lower maintenance costs, and increased rig uptime.

Setting a New Offshore Standard

With the first installations already underway, JackUp-Lube® represents more than innovation—it’s the next step in offshore safety and digitalization.

Automation where it matters most. Safety where it counts.
