ShuttlePilot
ShuttlePilot offers berthing aid systems for relative positioning in tandem mooring, side-by-side mooring or ship to buoy mooring.
Emergency warning and emergency shutdown features include riser monitor alarms, jack-knife warnings and an emergency shutdown system.
All systems can be fully customised to meet your needs.
Safety:
Sychronised, accurate, real-time, reliable information to make critical decisions.
Exceptional in poor visibility conditions.
Early warning of excessive closing speeds and/or yawing of FPSO during approach.
Optional display on tug can be used to monitor rig alignment.
Remote emergency shutdown.
Riser monitoring.
Remote hawser tension display.
Efficiency:
Early indication of developing trends during approach, improving the odds of success on first attempt.
Position, heading and movement information allows for efficient reconnection after detachment due to bad weather - reducing risk of risers blocking due to cooling (and cost to unblock risers).
Early indication of misalignment developing during offtake operations allows the attendant tug to take early and effective action - minimising power requirements.
Features
Improves Safety
- Provides reliable & accurate data to support critical decision making.
- Early warnings can be set for excessive closing speeds and/or yawning of FPSO during approach.
- Optional display on tug can be used to monitor rig alignment.
- Exceptional in poor visibility conditions.
Efficient & Reliable
- Completely independent of either vessels’ systems.
