Buoy Control Systems

Buoy Control Systems

Integrated control and monitoring systems for offshore loading buoys

Proserv delivers fully integrated Hydraulic and Digital Monitoring & Control Systems designed specifically for offshore loading buoys. Our systems incorporate a complete Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) for precise and dependable PLEM valve control, ensuring safe and efficient operation during every transfer.

With more than 25 years of experience supplying field proven telemetry solutions for buoy offloading systems, Proserv sets the standard for reliability in harsh marine environments. Our technology supports a wide range of communication methods, such as fibre optic, radio, satellite and Wi-Fi, ensuring secure and uninterrupted data transfer between the onshore control room and the tanker.

To enhance operational reliability, our custom engineered Portable Terminal Unit ensures seamless and stable communication between the buoy and tanker throughout critical loading and unloading operations. This tailored solution mitigates communication risks and supports safer, more controlled offshore transfer activities.

Long-term performance with minimal intervention

Extreme service remote terminal units (RTU)

Designed for a wide temperature range and conformal coated for corrosion protection, Proserv’s RTUs are ideal for extreme service buoy use. Its low power requirements also make it an ideal partner for solar power. Our hull system RTUs are Zone 1 certified and can remain in use between charge for up to 28 days.

 

SCADA

Proserv has a long history developing SCADA packages for both onshore and platform environments. We are SCADA agnostic and can work with a number of packages, including Rockwell FTview, Wonderware Intouch and Citect. Our custom built screens ensure ease of monitoring and we offer extensive driver availability and hot standby capabilities.

 

Tanker portable units (TPU)

Proserv’s TPUs use modified Gastor (Navicom) software to provide speed of approach, heading and distance to buoy from the tanker. We provide both tablet and PC options, with both rated to Zone 2 hazardous areas.

 

Solar powered systems

We deliver Ex and safe area designs, with custom frameworks to your requirements and specific location.

 

Hawser load monitoring

Proserv offers load pin, shackle and life time mooring chain monitoring and prediction. Fabricated to your specifications, we fit each chain with an inclinometer and dual redundant load cell bridge options. Our easy-to-use software module estimates the remaining life of the hawser, based on load data, and displays the data in an easy to use graphical interface.

 

Navigational aids

Proserv offers the supply and integration of a number of navigational aids, including marine lanterns, fog horns, alarm and warning beacons, weather monitoring for speed and wind direction, sea current and direction and buoy GPS.
