Learn and Adapt to Maritime Industry 4.0 ⚓ Collision Prevention Strategies between Container Ships and STS Gantry Cranes Collision prevention between ships and STS gantry cranes is a crucial aspect for port safety. Various measures have been implemented to minimize the risk of these accidents, which can have serious consequences for both human life and the environment. Prevention Measures: Positioning Systems: Relative Positioning System (RPS): Utilizes radio signals to determine the precise position of the crane and the ship in real time. Satellite Positioning System (SPS): Employs GPS signals to obtain the exact location of both elements. Obstacle Detection Systems: Radar: Detects the presence of metallic objects within a certain range. Cameras: Monitor the crane's and ship's working area in real time. LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging): Utilizes light pulses to measure the distance to surrounding objects. Alarm Systems: Visual and audible alerts: Are activated when a collision risk is detected. Emergency stop switches: Stop the crane's movement in case of imminent danger. Operational Procedures: Careful planning of operations: Weather conditions, tides, and the position of other ships and cranes must be considered. Effective communication: Clear communication must be maintained between the crane operator, the ship's captain, and shore personnel. Continuous training and education: Personnel must be trained to operate collision prevention systems and follow safety procedures. Preventive Maintenance: Regular checks of collision prevention systems: Regular testing and calibration must be carried out to ensure their proper functioning. Software and firmware updates: It is important to keep systems updated with the latest versions to improve their performance and security. Safety Culture: Promote a safety culture in the port: All employees must be committed to accident prevention. Incident investigation: Collisions that occur must be thoroughly investigated to identify the causes and take corrective measures. The effective implementation of these measures can significantly contribute to the prevention of collisions between ships and STS gantry cranes, ensuring a safer working environment in ports.

🚢 LNG Ship Safety: ESD2 Activation and PERC Systems Explained In LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) transfer operations, safety is the top priority. In this video, we demonstrate the activation of the ESD2 (Emergency Shutdown 2) system on an LNG ship. ESD2 is a crucial safety feature designed to halt the transfer process immediately in case of an emergency. When activated, it initiates a series of automated responses to ensure the safe disconnection of the loading arms and prevent any potential hazards. One of the key components shown here is the PERC (Powered Emergency Release Coupling) system integrated into the LNG loading arms. PERC allows for a safe and rapid disconnection from the ship in case of emergency, effectively minimizing the risk of spillage and ensuring both personnel and environmental safety. Key Takeaways: 1. ESD2 Activation: Provides an immediate stop to LNG transfer operations, preventing potential incidents. 2. PERC System: Allows for a quick and controlled release of the LNG loading arms, avoiding leaks and ensuring operational safety. 3. Safety Systems in LNG Operations: Integral to ensuring the safety of both crew and the environment during LNG transfer processes. In the dynamic world of LNG shipping, having these safety measures in place is not just a regulatory requirement but a commitment to protecting lives, assets, and the environment. #LNG #SafetySystems #ESD2 #PERC #LNGTransfer #MaritimeSafety #LNGLoading #GASTECH

🚢 Liferafts: Essential Safety Equipment on Ships Liferafts are critical safety devices on vessels, designed to ensure the survival of crew and passengers in emergencies at sea. Their importance cannot be overstated, as they provide a means of escape and protection until rescue can be achieved. Key Aspects of Liferafts: 1. Types of Liferafts: -Inflatable Liferafts: These are the most common type, designed to inflate automatically when released into water. -SOLAS Liferafts: Compliant with the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, these are equipped with essential survival supplies. 2. Certifications: - Liferafts must meet specific international standards, including SOLAS and ISO 9650. Certification ensures that the liferafts are tested for durability, buoyancy, and functionality under various conditions. 3. Regular Inspections: -Liferafts require routine inspections and servicing to maintain their operational readiness. This includes: -Annual Inspections: Conducted by authorized service providers to ensure compliance with safety standards. -Pre-Departure Checks: Crew should conduct checks before each voyage to confirm the integrity and accessibility of the liferafts. 4. Training and Drills: -Crew members must be trained in the proper use of liferafts, including deployment and boarding procedures. Regular drills are vital for ensuring that everyone knows what to do in an emergency. 5. Storage and Accessibility: - Liferafts must be stored in easily accessible locations on the vessel. Proper stowage is crucial for quick deployment during an emergency. 6. Maintenance: - Liferafts should be properly maintained, including keeping them free from obstructions and ensuring that all equipment is in working order. Conclusion The safety of those on board a vessel heavily relies on the effectiveness of liferafts. By ensuring proper certification, regular inspections, and adequate training, we can enhance maritime safety and preparedness. #MaritimeSafety #Liferafts #SOLAS #ShipSafety #CrewTraining #shipowner #shipbroker Lloyd's Maritime Institute
