ScanReach will provide its wireless Connect POB (Personnel OnBoard) solution to four of Purus’ Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOV). Three are new builds, and one is an existing vessel that has already been retrofitted and is performing successfully.
ConnectPOB uses ScanReach’s groundbreaking wireless technology to provide real-time personnel on-board (POB) location monitoring, enabling the crew and management to ensure the safety of all individuals on the vessel. In emergency situations, ConnectPOB is invaluable in coordinating responses and evacuations which ultimately safeguards lives.
Existing solutions and procedures are mainly based on manual headcounts, which are recorded on sheets of paper. This is a time-consuming and complicated process with the potential for human error, which, during emergency situations, could lead to confusion and a high risk of loss of life. Furthermore, the ScanReach solution provides automated crew embarking/disembarking information across gangways and other access points to and from the vessel.
Partnering with ScanReach for its CSOV fleet as their solution provides Purus with uninterrupted real-time data collection, which is vital for the onboard safety of its personnel. By using the ConnectPOB wearables, the safety of Purus staff will be increased not just during normal vessel operations but also during training exercises and in emergency situations. Purus will be able to locate crew quickly and easily, see who mustered, the locations of non-mustered personnel, and the number of crew onboard the vessel at any time. This information is vital during emergencies and shows Purus’s commitment to enhanced crew safety aboard its vessels.
Dan Slater, VP Sales & Business Development for ScanReach, said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with such a forward-thinking owner as Purus across their CSOV fleet. It further demonstrates the robustness of the ScanReach wireless technology and its ability to provide enhanced onboard safety for crews.”
