We supply a range of asset integrity monitoring systems for all types of marine and offshore vessels that improve both operational safety and efficiency.
Designed in-house, our systems assist ship masters by providing comprehensive surveillance of a range of vessel related parameters, monitoring the demands placed on structures in the offshore environment.
Data is provided in real-time with alarm facilities to warn when pre-defined limits are being approached. All measured data is stored to provide a complete and permanent historical record of the forces acting on the vessel structure. Such data can be used to support condition based maintenance programs and risk based inspection methodologies.
STRESSALERT™
StressAlert™ hull stress monitoring system enables hull structural integrity to be continuously monitored and displayed.
With over 300 systems delivered worldwide, StressAlert™ is proven to enhance vessel safety and increase operational efficiency by providing real-time feedback on hull stress conditions. Advanced algorithms enable hull stress and fatigue calculations to be predicted into the future, giving advance warning of adverse conditions. Fatigue life calculations can be used to support vessel life extension decisions.
The system provides instant access to a vessel’s hull stress status, whether derived from dynamic wave action or induced stresses from cargo operations. Course, speed and metocean information can also be integrated to increase safety, operational efficiency and fuel savings.
During cargo operations loading and discharging plans can be adapted to minimise the effects of structural stress on the hull. In addition, we have developed a temporary system to enable class societies and operators to obtain hull bending data without the need to install a fully-specified integrated system.
