Watch deflection of a container vessel in rough seas. During heavy seas container vessels are under influence of huge forces. These forces together with high speed and heavy seas are causing damage to ship and containers. Siri Marine's decision support tool is helping the navigator with taking the right action at the right time.
Smit Salvage was awarded the contract for the salvage operations of the m/v CSCL Hamburg, which ran aground on Woodhouse Reef while navigating in the Enterprise passage near Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
Siri Marine was contracted by Smit Salvage to provide Motion and Hull Integrity monitoring services on board the m/v CSCL Hamburg during the salvage operations.
A Siri Marine Motion / Hull Integrity Monitoring System, including operator, was mobilized to the salvage site on 06/01/2010 and the system was installed on the board at 08/01/2010. The system monitors and displays roll / pitch / heave information and hull deflection and torsion.
Siri Marine has developed a "Decision Support System" plus approved procedures that will assist the Master to decide on an adequate lashing procedure for each voyage. Onshore the procedures will assist the Management of Terminals in the planning of personnel and a reduction in personnel cost. This results in a safe passage without the risk of damage to cargoes and a significant reduction in lashing costs. The system will satisfy the requirements of the authorities in the use of reduced lashings (Weather Dependent Lashing) during a voyage.
Real time information regarding angle, pitch and accelerations are of huge importance when towing a massive rig. Especially in night time when there are no visually references. This movie shows how much a rig already can move in good weather conditions. Imagine night time and bad weather! The SiriMarine Tow Monitoring Set leaves you no surprises in the morning.
MSC Nikita was one of our best salvage jobs this year. We joined the salvage team within hours after the casualty. Our system supported the statement of the salvage master that the vessel was able to remain afloat and that it was of great importance that the vessel was entering the port of Rotterdam. There was no danger of braking and over the days of motion measuring no big changes are found in the hull integrity.
