Every offshore installation is a valuable investment worth protecting. From the view point of ships’ operators, coastguard etc they are new hazards to navigation and could represent a security or safety risk, especially when the installation is unmanned.
The visual surveillance system must be capable of covering a large area with as few cameras as possible whilst providing easy and convenient control from a remote location.
Cameras which can be used in combination with radar and AIS (Automated Identification System) during daytime or darkness can assist in providing a safe perimeter zone around any offshore installation and guard against intrusion. The ability to transmit live pictures over an intranet or web gives an immediate advantage when it comes to rapid response and management of potentially hazardous situations. Independent security services, customs and excise, port authority and police can also access video-on-demand if required.
An integrated suite of systems, available from across the Kongsberg Maritime product range, can be used to remotely monitor the installation, with visual contact being achieved with the aid of rugged, marine-grade cameras fitted at critical points at the perimeter of the installation.
Kongsberg have built a reputation over many years for expert design and manufacture of cameras and video systems for ships, submarines and offshore installations. The same rugged construction and build quality is demanded for the growing number of offshore wind farms.
