FPSO HSMS – Hull Stress Monitoring System
Our partnership with Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI)
Overview
British Engineering Services Asset Reliability Strainstall to supply its hull stress monitoring system to Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI).
An 18,000 TEU vessel is one of the largest container carriers ever to be built.
The challenge
British Engineering Services Asset Reliability Strainstall has recently secured an order to supply its StressAlert™ hull stress monitoring system (HSMS) to Hyundai Heavy Industries for installation on a new 18,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) carrier.
The container carrier is owned by China Shipping Container Lines and the installation of the HSMS is scheduled for October 2014.
British Engineering Services Asset Reliability Strainstall’s StressAlert™ HSMS monitoring technology is the result of more than 45 years at the leading edge of load measurement, strain and stress determination.
The Solution
We will employ the use of measuring techniques and specially developed load monitoring and data acquisition instruments to monitor and solve problems.
The result
The system provides instant access to the vessel’s hull stress status, whether derived from dynamic wave action or induced stresses from cargo operations, allowing the ship’s master to alter course and speed to reduce stress levels.
Some more of the features of our product include:
- Hull structural integrity is continuously monitored and displayed.
- Advanced algorithms contained within StressAlert™ enable predictions of hull status and fatigue life deterioration to be determined
- StressAlert™ enhances vessel safety due to a reduction in high stress incidences, enabling fuel savings and facilitating effective voyage management.
Key outcomes
Supplied StressAlert™ hull stress monitoring system (HSMS) to Hyundai Heavy Industries.
Enabled the ship's master to alter course and speed to reduce stress levels.
Enhanced vessel safety due to a reduction in high stress incidences, enabling fuel savings and facilitating effective voyage management.
